GIGABYTE Motherboards Feature TPM 2.0 Function to Support Windows 11 Upgrade
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards, and hardware solutions, announced that the BIOS of their series motherboards, including Intel X299, C621, C232, C236, C246, 200, 300, 400, 500 lineups, as well as AMD TRX40, 300, 400, 500 motherboards are TPM 2.0 function ready, which can pass the upgraded Windows 11 OS. verification.
Windows 11 is the latest operating system from Microsoft, and features dozens of exciting new functions and Android APP support to effectively improve productivity, system security, and gaming performance. However, most of the users might be confusing that Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 support means they need a TPM module on board for Windows 11 upgrade.
In fact, TPM 2.0 hardware is not a must to pass TPM 2.0 verification. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable Motherboards are not only known for their world-renowned durability, but also play a leading role in product design, especially when it comes to the TPM 2.0 support in the BIOS. Lots of GIGABYTE Intel and AMD motherboards can pass the TPM 2.0 verification of the Windows 11 by simply enabling the TPM-related function in the BIOS, on which Intel X299, B250 chipset and above platform will be the Platform Trust Technology (PTT), and fTPM function on the AMD AM4 and TRX40 motherboards. By this advanced BIOS setting, GIGABYTE motherboards can pass the TPM 2.0 verification of Windows 11 to prevent TPM 2.0 support becoming an issue to users during their system upgrade.
The Windows 11 will be coming later this year, user can check for the compatibility and minimum system requirements via Microsoft website. Certain features may require specific hardware and CPU support, please see details on system requirements.
Windows 11 CPU Support List, please check：AMD Processors / Intel Processors

Use this one to get far more detailed overlook: github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11
Then post the screenshot here.
It's possible that you fail with some other check. Possibly using MBR partitioned drive etc.
Tho i agree there needs to be a cutoff point somewhere. I feel like Skylake and newer are good enough. I doubt Conroe or FX users are really instrested in upgrading to Win11 anyway.
What's interesting is in the BIOS I have TPM fully disabled and Secure Boot disabled. So they simply need to be present and not necessarily enabled.
Spec's say "Capable" of secure boot....
Don't believe bitlocker is mandatory to use
TPM (PTT) enabled on my sig rig.
First, it's because Windows 8/8.1/10 all have GUIs that look like poopoo. Windows 11 GUI changes are shaping up to be very good looking and the functionality changes are equally appealing.
Second, telling most of the world's people, whose PC's would otherwise run the OS perfectly, that they have to now upgrade their PCs for no reason other than because microsoft says so(the excuses of security are utter rubbish) is a slap in the face NO ONE likes and MANY will NOT tolerate, myself included.
