Hi there, I hope you're well. I just finished setting up my PC and now I'm trying to boot Windows 11 Pro, but the installer keeps saying my system doesn't meet the requirements. It looks like my specs are a bit low, even though it's my first build. Could you help me figure out what might be missing?

Yes, Secure Boot and TPM are activated.

Yes, it is in UEFI-only mode with the CSM disabled.

It seems the problem might be due to insufficient storage. Which hard drive or SSD model are you using?

If CSM won’t disable it, it’s likely your disk uses MBR formatting. Are you moving storage from an older setup? Disconnect any existing drives and set CSM to disabled. Once disabled, you may need to register keys for your TPM. For your specific motherboard: turn off CSM, navigate to Secure Boot, enable it, then go to Key Management to enroll your TPM keys. At this stage, Windows 11 should be installable.

It functioned, apparently. Thanks everyone.
