Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

If you're encountering issues with installing Windows 11 despite having seemingly compatible hardware, there are a few potential reasons and solutions to consider. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

Check System Requirements

First, ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11:

• Processor: 1 GHz or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC).
  
• RAM: 4 GB or more.
  
• Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device.
  
• System firmware: UEFI, Secure Boot capable.
  
• TPM: Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0.
  
• Graphics card: DirectX 12 compatible graphics / WDDM 2.x.
  
• Display: >9” with HD Resolution (720p).
  
• Internet connection: Internet connectivity is necessary to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features.
  

Steps to Troubleshoot

1. Verify TPM and Secure Boot Settings:
   
   • Enter BIOS/UEFI Setup:
     
     • Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup (usually by pressing Delete, F2, or another key specific to your motherboard).
       
   • Check TPM:
     
     • Ensure that AMD CPU fTPM is enabled. This setting might be listed under a security tab or an advanced options menu.
       
   • Secure Boot:
     
     • Ensure Secure Boot is enabled. This is usually found under the Boot menu in UEFI settings.
       
2. Update BIOS/UEFI:
   
   • Check for Updates:
     
     • Visit the GIGABYTE website and check for the latest BIOS/UEFI update for your B550 Aorus motherboard.
       
   • Update the BIOS/UEFI:
     
     • Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to update the BIOS/UEFI. This can resolve compatibility issues with Windows 11.
       
     • Disclaimer: Microsoft provides no assurances and/or warranties, implied or otherwise, and is not responsible for the information you receive from the third-party linked sites or any support related to technology.
       
       If you are going to modify BIOS Settings, please back up all your personal files first to ensure you do not lose data.
       
3. Check Windows 11 Compatibility Tool:
   
   • PC Health Check:
     
     • Download and run the PC Health Check tool from Microsoft to ensure your system is compatible with Windows 11.
       
   • Check Results:
     
     • The tool will provide a detailed report on why your system might not be compatible.
       
4. CSM (Compatibility Support Module):
   
   • Disable CSM:
     
     • In the BIOS/UEFI settings, try disabling CSM support. Windows 11 requires UEFI mode, and CSM can sometimes interfere with the installation process.
       
5. Windows Update:
   
   • Ensure System is Up-to-Date:
     
     • Before attempting the upgrade, make sure your current Windows installation is fully updated. Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
       
6. Clean Install:
   
   • Create Installation Media:
     
     • Use the Windows 11 Installation Assistant to create a bootable USB drive.
       
   • Perform Clean Install:
     
     • Boot from the USB drive and perform a clean installation of Windows 11. This can sometimes bypass issues related to upgrading from an existing installation.
       
     • Disclaimer: At this point, we have exhausted all troubleshooting and I recommend that we try to perform a clean install to get your computer back into a working condition. Please ensure that you backup any important data, including Documents, Pictures, Videos, and more.
       
7. Motherboard Manual:
   
   Consult the GIGABYTE B550 Aorus motherboard manual for specific instructions on enabling TPM and Secure Boot.
   

If all else fails, consider reaching out to GIGABYTE Support for further assistance. They may provide additional insights tailored to your specific hardware configuration.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Amazon AppStore claims my CPU does not meet hardware requirements

I have tried this on two different Windows 11 systems. One of them has an Intel i7-9750H CPU, and the other has an Intel i7-8550U CPU.

Microsoft Store does not allow me to install Amazon AppStore, claiming the processor does not meet the minimum requirements.

However, the minimum requirement is listed as Intel i3 8'th Generation.
