    My system displays a message saying my PC doesn't meet the minimum requirements for Windows 11, which doesn't make sense since I have an RTX 3060 and the latest 10th generation Intel.

    Please enable TMP 2.0 from BIOS settings, this is not enabled default.

    Hello,



it is written that I cannot install windows 11 on the PC integrity check tool, 
however I have successfully activated the TPM and the secure boot on my MSI motherboard.  
it does appear on TPM.MSC in 2.0. i have an i7 6700k and a GTX 1070

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements

    Intel 8th Gen or higher is required by Microsoft for Win 11, this may change over time fingers crossed.

    It appears we need Intel 8th Gen and above: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors

    I do not meet this requirement.... How sad!

    I guess my PC isn't capable of Windows 11 since it doesn't have TPM.

    I ran the TPM.MSC and says TPM 1.2 or later cannot be found.

    I checked in the BIOS and don't see any settings (that I can find) for TPM or Secure Boot like others in here have found.

    The only setting I found was "PCI ROM Priority" which has 2 options: Legacy ROM and EFI Compatible ROM. I was set to Legacy ROM, so I changed it to EFI Compatible and rebooted, but the system wouldn't POST and couldn't get back into the BIOS without pressing the Clear CMOS button on the back on the system.

    My system specs are:

    ASRock (Intel Z68 chipset)Fatal1ty Z68 Pro

    CPU: Intel i7-3770K (OC to 4.4GHz)

    Memory: 16GB RAM (8GBx2)

    Video: Nvidia GTX 980ti

    SSD: 2TB (1.27TB Free)

    CPU: Intel i7-3770K (OC to 4.4GHz)

    Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware, that CPU won't support Intel PTT :(

    Intel PTT is basically the firmware alternative to the hardware-based TPM. Intel PTT works on pretty much every processor/chipset since 4th Gen Core (Haswell) processors were introduced and it even supports BitLocker. This is because Intel PTT supports all Microsoft requirements for firmware Trusted Platform Module (fTPM) 2.0.
