    What I don't understand is why the AMD Athlon 3150u is supported but the Ryzen 5 2500u isn't? Both have the exact same instruction sets, exact same architecture , but the R5 2500u has a higher boost clock, twice the cores/threads (Athlon 2/4 R5 4/8) both support the same memory speeds and the R5 has a better IGPU.

    It's more than likely your CPU that isn't supported. Although it technically meets requirements it's not a supported CPU according to Microsoft. Supported Intel Processors. Looks like it has to be 8th Gen and Up

    For alot of people the processor is the problem.  Follow the following link for Intel processors https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors  

    I believe the reason for the processor being resticted is because the older ones cannot handle the animation, games and graphics.

    I ran the new system without the tpm restriction and could get excellent results in cpu processing and graphics that depend on the video card...
