Passing the Window 11 Compatibility Check
GitHub Tool <---- for checking compatibility
1. Download WhyNotWin11.exe from the GitHub Tool link, just above.
2. Run the tool, and see what your status is.
3. If Secure Boot or TPM has a RED X, head to the BIOS.
4. Enable Secure Boot and under the Secure Boot heading, choose Windows UEFI, rather than Other OS.
5. If these settings cause a failure to boot, just set them back to what they were and post about that problem.
6. Then look for your TPM settings. There are a few kinds...
a. Firmware TPM or Discrete TPM (aka hardware TPM). Some motherboards will have both.
b. On some boards the TPM setting will be on the Advanced tab in the BIOS.
c. AMD: Advanced > AMD fTPM configuration > TPM Device Selection : Firmware TPM or AMD CPU fTPM
d. Intel: Advanced > PCH-FW Configuration or PTT Configuration > TPM Device Selection : Firmware TPM or PTT
e. MSI TPM settings
f. Note: Your TPM 2.0 settings may be worded slightly differently.
7. Enable the Firmware TPM, or the Discrete hardware TPM (requires a TPM module)
8. IF you need a TPM Module read this: What to know when buying TPM Module
9. Now that you've taken care of Secure Boot and the TPM configuration... Save and Exit the BIOS.
10. Run the GitHub Tool again. All the boxes should be GREEN.
