So yesterday I finally got my Strix Z790-e motherboard, which was the last piece I was waiting for to build my new PC. After getting it together I went to install my new copy of Windows 11, and it promptly told me my PC didn't meet the requirements to install WIN 11. Scared me at first, because I thought this board was supposed to be Windows 11 ready out of the box. So, I had to venture into the BIOS and couldn't find the TPM setting to enable.

Had to look up some videos about it and turns out in this new BIOS version, it's not called TPM. I think it was PTT or something like that. The part that was strange, is that it was already enabled in the BIOS, but Windows didn't seem to recognize it. So I disabled it, rebooted into setup again, then re-enabled it, and that worked. No idea why Windows didn't pick up that it was enabled the first time, but I though this might be a worthy note if anyone else has this issue.

where did you get installer from?

did you make a new one?
https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

Do you have latest bios on motherboard as I would assume that is set up already

not sure if you need this after that step - https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1048887/

I bought a new Windows 11 USB at Best Buy. It's working fine now, after I did the Disable and Re-Enable on that PTT setting in the BIOS.
