PC Passes All Checks...Until Install

Trying to do a clean install of Windows 11. All checks say I'm good to go...until I run the installer. Any ideas? I know I can bypass the checks and force an install via regedit. Do I really want to do that when everything says my PC is Windows 11 compatible?

Did you turn off secure boot in order to boot from the installer? If so, then that is not necessary. It should boot with secure boot turned on.

Are you sure you have booted the install usb in UEFI mode and not CSM legacy mode? If you have CSM support turned on in the bios then the usb should appear twice on the one-time boot menu, once as a legacy device and again as a UEFI one. You need to select UEFI.
