Windows 10 in settings mentions the PC doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. I’m considering an i7-9700K CPU, 32GB RAM, and ample SSD space, but think it might be the absence of a TPM module that’s the issue. Could this explain why I can’t install Windows 11? My ASRock Z390 Taichi board lists one TPM header. Are all TPM modules identical? Is there a preferred brand or model that works better? Do they offer right-angle versions to avoid interference with shrouded fans on my 4090 and a TPM module? I’m planning an upgrade but can’t afford it until 2026, so I’m stuck with my current ASRock Z390.
