    Did you turn Secure Boot on?

    I had same problem but only my TPM was turned off in Bios and not show that I meet requirements .

    I think I have a solution:

    This same thing happened to me, so

    I decided to mess with the BIOS until I turned on Windows 10 WHQL (which enabled UEFI) (on Windows Configuration) and TPM (on Security) in the BIOS.

    These settings weren't on by default for my motherboard.

    And it worked for me.

    I have a Radeon RX 580 and an AMD Ryzen 2700X.

    @ Pauli O,

    B,T.W.

    The problem you mentioned yesterday with Settings->System->About not working, or OS Build Info, or Right click on This PC and check properties, I could reproduce it on 2 old machines that are Legacy BIOS, only with Upgrade from 21H1, a clean install worked fine with those settings options, everything worked normally.

    I think we had this same exact problem on an older Development Build a few months back.

    I did not have any of those issues at all on the Upgrade of the Dell XPS 8930 UEFI machine from 19043.1081 to Windows 11, everything works just fine with that machine.

    Looks like the old machines are going to be out of this game. 😒

    I think they will treat hard floor as minimum requirement and soft floor as recommended. Meaning we should be able to stay after GA
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/windows-11/
    "There are new minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11. In order to run Windows 11, devices must meet the following specifications. Devices that do not meet the hard floor cannot be upgraded to Windows 11, and devices that meet the soft floor will receive a notification that upgrade is not advised."

    I was pleased to see that in the hard plan TPM is a minimum requirement 1.2 and here it is OK unfortunately there is always the limit of the processors that many are not compatible
