I recently bought my first pc, and built it. I put in my flash drive with windows, and start it, but is says I don't meet the minimum requirements. I have a B550 phantom gaming 4 motherboard from asrock, a ryzen 5 3600 from amd, 2 16 Gb ram sticks, an RTX 3050, and a 1Tb sata hard drive. I don't have an m2 or ssd right now, as I built my computer before they arrived, and as far as i can tell, they aren't needed. and wanted to make sure everything else worked. I looked on the internet, and other threads, and I do have secure boot enabled, and AMD cpu ftpm selected, though i do not know if it is tpm 2.0. I have CSM disabled. I also do not currently have any internet set up, as I am setting up ethernet to my room. Is there something else I need to do?

edit: Windows 11, I forgot to be clear.

And I can both click I dont have a product key or put in my product key, and I get this:

The ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard should have the necessary BIOS settings to install Windows 11. However, there are a few settings you may need to adjust before installing the operating system:

  1. Secure Boot: Make sure Secure Boot is enabled in the BIOS. This will ensure that only trusted software is allowed to boot up.
  2. UEFI Boot Mode: Choose the UEFI boot mode, which provides better security features and faster boot times compared to legacy BIOS boot mode.
  3. SATA Mode: Set the SATA mode to AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) mode. This is necessary for Windows to recognize and install drivers for the storage devices.
  4. TPM: If your CPU supports TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module), enable it in the BIOS. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 to be enabled.
  5. Virtualization: If you plan to use virtual machines, enable Virtualization Technology (VT-x) in the BIOS.
Once you have adjusted these settings, save and exit the BIOS, and proceed with installing Windows 11.

Please don't do that.

Currently, the AI bots are NOT always correct. Period.
I've seen them give completely wrong info. Which might lead an unsuspecting user to a busted PC.

If you don't know the solution, do NOT rely on and post the output from these current chatbot things.

I read the results and they are legitimate. Half the people posting answers on here don't know what they are talking about and could result in a busted PC. I also noted that it was courtesy of Chat GPT so that anyone would know that it may or may not be correct.

I get that.
And in this particular instance, that text is mostly correct.

But we've had more than a few instances of people posting AI bot results, that were factually wrong. Or totally irrelevant.

If a person does not know enough to answer the question out of their own experience, they lack the experience to know if the Chatbot is correct or not.

I'm just trying to discourage use of that thing to post results around here.

I get it. It's not about not knowing the solution. It's about not remembering all the settings required to install Windows 11 and foregoing the time it takes to go look myself, and asking an AI to help out. I suppose that is counter-intuitive to the concept of this forum. So, I'll heed your warning and not do that.

And thank you for identifying the ChatBotness up front.
I think you're the only person I've seen do that.

Does the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 support tpm 2.0? and when I turn TPM on, I get 3 options, AMD CPU ftpm, Route to LPC tpm, and Route to SPI tpm. Which should I choose? Right now I have AMD CPU ftpm
