PC Doesn't meet the requirements Win 11 - Although it is already running Win 11!

So my system was upgraded to Win 11 earlier this year and I had to enable the usual TMP/Secure boot settings.
I now come to reinstall with a copy of Win 11 and it tells me the system doesn't meet the requirements!
Asus Prime Z690 -latest Bios SEcure boot enabled.
Help!

It should tell you where you are failing to meet the requirements, or download and run the tool from MS that tells you.

For me, it was a hard drive! I had it formatted the old way (gpt) when it should have been uefi .

The weird issue is that when I boot the system which has a windows install on it says it meets the requirements!
I may end up having to install windows 10 and then update to 11.
I had the GPT issue with my sons PC but this should be OK.

Did you create USB installation media from an ISO using Rufus? There is a setting in Rufus, which I only just found out about, to disable the the TPM and Secure Boot requirments.

I created the regkeys at Windows setup.

This guide covers both methods.

I just used the Microsoft Media Creation tool. I think this is a Bios bug whereby the Installation tool can't see TPM and Secure boot enabled. Thanks for the link and guide.
