For the 1st time in decades; I'm struggling to install Windows on my Computer. I've recently moved to a new Motherboard (Gigabyte Aorus Elite B550M). I need to perform a Windows 11 Clean Install from USB Pen Drive. Windows 11 currently is running on this current Setup and the Hardware is completely compatible for Windows 11. On the BIOS: TPM and Secure Bot is Enabled, but Windows Setup will always fail informing that the Computer does not meet the requirements; (but it does).

Any thoughts regading this subject?

Thanks in advance.

  • Check if there's Firmware (UEFI/BIOS) update available for the Motherboard and update the same and retry. What is the source of Windows 11 ISO file from which you eventually created USB installer? – patkim Nov 16 '22 at 14:12
  • @patkim: Thanks for the prompt reply. BIOS is up to date. Regarding the source: I'm not sure I understood what you meant. The Source is from Microsoft Media Creator (wich downloads and creates the Bootable Instalation and Sets it to the USB Drive. – Ricardo Nov 16 '22 at 14:38

    @Ricardo - Use Rufus instead and enable the feature to install Windows 11 on incompatible hardware. – Ramhound Nov 16 '22 at 14:50

    Run [WhyNotWin11](https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11) to find if the hardware is truly compatible. – harrymc Nov 16 '22 at 15:35

Well, It has been over a decade since I worked as IT Technician and there are lots of features in BIOS that are new to me nowadays. I’m feeling outdated…

I Ended up with persistence on trial and error. I deleted Cleared the BIOS, TPM and TPM Key around 10 times; then finally Windows Setup finally ran. The procedures were almost the same every time, with a few other options toggled in each step (testing things I did not know). Analysing my procedures I’m sure the current F15 BIOS version is bugged.

Aside from this thread subject: After installing the OS; I could ensure that this board has some sort of “lag”; maybe CPU and/or GPU throttling. Replaced the Motherboard to the previous; and got my performance back.

Im returning the motherboard. it was an upgrade that decreased performance drastically.
