OK. I’m going to risk making another mistake.

Is this kind of what you’re looking for?


Both your CPU and ASUS would be fine with the above tutorial.

no .. not really at all

" ... bypass the Windows 11 CPU, RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0 system requirements allowing you
to clean install or upgrade to Windows 11 on a PC that doesn't meet these requirements. ..."

I went to a good deal of effort to change ASUS Bios settings, C: drive GPT , etc
to have that PC pass (MEET REQUIREMENTS) the [ WIN 11 REady Tests..] ( see my snippits in O.P. )
..... if not, I'l repost that here

If you look at the other link .. there is know issue with ASUS injecting?
some s/w during the boot process.
I want to understand this better before moving foreword in any routine solution

thank you

I can respect that, but I believe you’re making this more complicated than it needs to be.

However, it’s a fair call.
I am not savvy enough to help with that. 🙏

thank you for response
1 - my O/S does NOT show "Apps & Features" link..
2 - I can reach 'Windows Security' form via " Settings 'Privacy & Security' "
3 - NO "advance Options " shown, so NO " ReSEt " options either.
4 - In below snippet, you can see the "pop UP message " behavior ..
--- if any " Protection Area " link is pressed.

Regards, Have a nice day.

Are you the Administrator of this Account? I see it's your own build, but if it's not registered with a MS account this might not work:
It's up to you to try it.
