Migration to Windows11 impossible while gear ok

I would like to migrate to w11 from my W10.  
Currently, Windows tells me that my installation is not compatible. So I looked a little, in terms of components (I have an R5 3600X and a B450m Aorus) I'm good, it's more about options not activated and configuration.  
I ran WhyNotWin11, and this is what I get

    TPM and Secure boot are primary requirements. Type of partition though you can change to GPT from MBR. But all basic requirements must be fulfilled to complete Windows 11 upgrade.

    This device does not have TPM 2.0 and UEFI boot. This is why it is impossible to run Windows 11.
