This PC can’t run Windows
I am building a new computer from scratch and I’m getting an error when trying to install Windows 11.
“This PC can’t run Windows.”
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A II
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 4100
GPU: GEFORCE GTX 1650
Hard drive: FIKWOT FS810 250GB SSD
RAM: 16GB
Secure boot: Windows UEFI mode
AMD fTPM configuration: Enable Firmware TPM
I’ve tried updating the BIOS, but I’m still not sure why I can’t install Windows 11 with these parts?

Hello SkylerMatson.
The CPU is compatible with Windows 11, but I can see a line stating "Enable Firmware TPM": read the document at https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/enable-tpm-2-0-on-your-pc-1fd5a332-360d-4f46-a1e7-ae6b0c90645c to know how you can enable TPM 2.0 in your PC.
Bye.
- Hi, TPM 2.0 is enabled so this comment does not help.
According to ASUS's own website, it looks to me like the issue is your motherboard. It has support for Windows 10 and Windows 7 out of the box according to their own specs: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-b450m-a-ii/techspec/
I would reach out to ASUS support for a firmware update.
For comparison, here are specs for my own ASUS motherboard that runs Windows 11 with no issues: https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/motherboards/prime/prime-z790m-plus/techspec/
