Your system setup looks solid overall, but there might be some compatibility issues affecting Windows 11. Check if your RAM supports the latest Windows version and ensure all drivers are up to date. Also, verify that your GPU drivers for GTX1080 and GTX1050 are compatible with Windows 11. Sometimes minor BIOS updates or hardware quirks can cause this problem.

You may have to turn on Secure Boot or TPM within the BIOS. (PTT) Although Windows 10 remains functional through 2025, you could switch to Windows 12 afterward. Spoiler

I attempted to turn on secure boot for the first time. Because I rarely change the BIOS (just a bit of adjustment), it’s likely there was an issue. Overclocking and fine-tuning the BIOS are areas I should explore more, but since I haven’t done much, I feel a bit confused.

TPM 2.0 is required, which was included in a BIOS a few years ago. Your CPU model is similar to theirs. About three to four years ago you had to update the BIOS for Windows 11 compatibility. If your system hasn't been modified yet, you'll need to do that as well. Obtain the latest BIOS from the mainboard vendor and save it to a large-capacity USB drive formatted with FAT32. Access the BIOS menu and look for the upgrade option. Locate the file and begin the installation without shutting down your computer—it will boot automatically.

I’m taking this used motherboard for a shot—I haven’t tried it before, and the previous owner didn’t either. I’m going to attempt it again tonight and hopefully get 11 running.

I turned on secure boot, but it isn’t listed until I turn off CSM (may depend on my motherboard). When I disable CSM, my BIOS stops recognizing the M.2 drive. It’s unclear if TPM 2.0 is an option I should see, but it doesn’t appear anywhere.
