Hi All,
I built my first PC with help from the forum. I was very nervous to do it, but it went smoother than I expected. Unfortunately it's been years ago and I don't remember most of what I learned! I would like to upgrade my motherboard to work with Windows 11 and am not sure which board I should choose. I suppose I could go with one that would accept most of the hardware from my original board but maybe that's not the best idea or even possible. I use the PC for photo and video editing. Here is the motherboard I have now.

and here is a list of the components.

This hardware is already compatible with Windows 11.

I'm curious about why the Windows update mentions it's not working. I managed to run the PC health check without purchasing 360 and it suggested enabling TPM 2.0 on my PC, could you help me with that? Thank you. I might still consider an upgrade, but I'll try this first. If I do, I'm planning to look at the link you provided for a suitable processor, as the new board uses a different socket.

Execute the health check.
The equipment works, but certain current configurations may not apply.

Wasn't your goal for the upgrade to obtain Windows 11? Since your hardware is already suitable for Windows 11, why the need for a new board or CPU at this time? Were you not content with the performance of your existing setup? Or are you simply looking to invest in something new?

I'm trying to enable TPM 2.0 I don't have TPM at all. The current system has a few bugs that I haven't figured out but when editing it seems to perform well enough with no freezes. It does have an annoying bug that my mouse cursor disappears. I have not been able to fix it so I have to do a hard reboot.

Interesting, according to the guide on page 3-19, the PCH-FW Configuration is where you set up the firmware TPM. It's the same location as configuring the TPM on the ProArt B760-CREATOR D4. Well.

Thank you for the manual link. I built this PC and it is my first build. It looks like TPM is a hardware piece? If so I don't think I knew about it, and never installed it. I'll open the case and see if anything is in the socket. I looked at Bios and no setting for TPM that I found, unless it's in advanced settings, which I didn't look at.
Well it looks like I need to purchase this card

The location is quite difficult to locate, so ASUS provides an FAQ about it. In short, navigate to Advanced PCH-FW Configuration and turn on "PTT". These boards include both a built-in firmware TPM and a slot for a separate one (both are regarded as "hardware TPM 2.0"), allowing you to select which one to use or not.

You're not required to buy the card to activate TPM 2.0. You can explore the advanced settings in the BIOS to check for PTT support. Thanks.
