If it helps anyone else on AsRock, I needed to enable both ā€œSecure Bootā€ and ā€œPTTā€ in SECURITY (depiste the text saying to deactivate PTT to enable TPM).

Then in ADVANCED > TRUSTED COMPUTING enable ā€œSecurity Device Supportā€.

Then restart.

Thanks for the help @StopIt :heart:

Thanks for sharing, Cerys.

That is some bad menu design by Asrock. Hiding it under so many nested menusā€¦

Indeed, and annoyingly the only mention of TPM (which the test does not even tell you you need to activate anyway) was that a setting that needs to be enabled should be disabled to use a discrete TPM module. So without some help to say someone else on my chipset and CPU had got it activated I may never have known of its compatibility.

Mine is an Asus Tufgaming series Ryzen with an Nvidia GTX 1650.

BIOS by American Megatrends.

To enable secure boot:

Enter. Advanced Mode

Security >> Secure Boot >> Secure Boot Control ā€“ Mark as Enable.

this is definitely not good. :disappointed:

Good lord.

Hehe .

What is preventing it, any idea? Just the CPU make or is there more to it?

8th gen or newer sounds like a made up criterion. Good fiction.

I bet I can install the leaked version of Windows 11 on any of these.

Idk :man_shrugging:. it looks like they want to force people to buy new hardware.

Anyway - it is targeted for 2022, so it might be effective by then. People will stock up on the leaked image of Windows 11, if they stick to this silly condition.

They should relax a few of those generational constraints (8th gen and beyond or 2000 series and beyond). Those are artificially introduced. Which means they are looking at CPUs less than 3 years old.

Make it 6th gen and later or something like that, instead. They are anyway asking for 64bit dual core. That particular definition should suffice.

2022 should be fun.

Ok - so it is not mandatory. That is good.

Full release is slated for October 19th according to Zac Bowden. A gradual rollout will mean most people will get in 2022. Contemplating if I should join the insider build, very tempting.

Same here.

Iā€™m definitely getting it on the insider preview. Iā€™m actually this close to install the leaked build lol XD

Iā€™ve just joined the beta channel. I remember doing insider previews of Windows 10 years ago. They were pretty stable most of the time.

Yeah, the leaked build is not guaranteed to get an auto update but I think MS will still upgrade them.
