Win 11 compatibility
My computer meets the written requirements but in running the compatibility test for win11 it is declared not compatible. It is an ASUS Z170 Pro gaming MB with an I7 6700k and and Nvidia GTX 1080TI....
- Great, you need to verify this with ASUS and they would be able to help you to enable and run it.

I see, Microsoft released the compatibility test but due to false-positive and incorrect report, they remove it and advise all users to use the Windows Insider Update to check for update readiness for Windows 11. They will release a tools to check for compatibility soon, but at the moment the way to test it using the Windows 11 installer file or upgrade to Windows 11 using Windows Insider.
The issue seems to be lack of TPM 2.0. I found instructions for turning it on in the bios for my motherboard but the setting isn't shown in my bios. Have ordered a tpm 2.0 module which ASUS sells and will try adding that. Update to follow once it arrives. Due to lockdown I buy online had have it delivered.
- TPM attached to the motherboard and it is not a separate component to add it. You will need to purchase a new motherboard with TPM on it. You will need to check with your device's manufacturer to see if your motherboard supports TPM or not.
- TPM 2.0 plugin modules are available from asus which will work, TPM is baked into cpu's from roughly 2018 onwards, laptops have had them a while but may not be 2.0.
