Try enabling TPM2.0 in Windows settings. Go to Device Manager, expand "Trusted Platform Module," and ensure it's enabled. If you're using Safe Boot, make sure it's not interfering. You can also check the Windows Update or Settings app for TPM configuration issues. If the problem persists, consider reinstalling Windows or checking your hardware compatibility.
According to Biostar's FB page, the B250 board doesn't support TPM 2.0. It might be feasible to install an external module, though details differ by manufacturer. Note: I couldn't read the text; check the BIOS for an option to enable it, as some Asus boards seem to offer this.
I believe this might be a warranty issue. If the product was marketed as fully compatible with Windows 11 and it came pre-installed, but lacks the TPM 2.0 certification, it doesn't satisfy the official requirements for Windows 11. It's possible they installed Rufus to bypass TPM, which could explain the setup. Perhaps this version has been available for a long time with Windows 10, and now the reseller switched to offering Windows 11 to meet sales demands before the end of support for Windows 10.
When an SI attempts to sell without a valid setup, I'd doubt both the product key and the seller's credibility.
Cut down your effort and expenses by checking the original release notes. They clarify that Windows 11 wasn't part of the initial launch in 2017.
Intel 6th and 7th generation CPUs aren't officially backed by Windows 11. It's unclear who provided this setup, but it looks like they circumvented compatibility checks. That practice is questionable and should have been made clear. Regarding TPM, enabling it might not be feasible since firmware TPM was introduced only for the 8000 series Intel processors. The board would require a genuine TPM chip, which isn't present here. The 8th generation is the last supported for Windows 11, making this a challenging condition. Microsoft has made this decision despite the doubts.
Many individuals purchasing new technology lack knowledge and are vulnerable to manipulation. Scammers are increasingly using questionable methods to profit from unsuspecting buyers. Even trusted brands sometimes engage in questionable practices today. It's a challenging environment right now.
