Before you begin, check for compatibility
If you’d like to check if your current PC meets the minimum requirements, you can download and run the PC Health Check app to determine if your PC is eligible to upgrade to Windows 11.
CPU Support for Windows 11:
If your existing Windows 10 PC is running the most current version of Windows 10 and meets the above minimum hardware specifications, it can be upgraded to Windows 11. Aside from system requirements, please do pay attention to the TPM settings on your system. TPM is an international standard for a secure cryptoprocessor that has been around for years. However, it is disabled by default on most motherboards, and that may prevent proper installation of Windows 11.
How to check if your system supports TPM 2.0
TPM 2.0 is the minimum requirement recommended by Microsoft. TPM 2.0 was introduced back in 2015, and all ASUS motherboards feature version 2.0.
To check, press the Windows key + R to bring up the Run box. Type in "TPM.MSC" to open the Windows TPM management tool.
The TPM Management screen will pop up if the feature is enabled, allowing you to view additional TPM information.
