Yeah, You could also try using the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool, as it sometimes gives more specific error messages than the PC Health Check app.

Yeah, Agreed, and one more thing—double-check that Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS too, since that’s a common snag. Let me know if that works.

Also, what's your CPU? The 1060 is fine, but the processor needs to be on Microsoft's supported list.

Agreed. I had the same problem. For me, it was my older CPU that wasn't on the list, even though I had TPM sorted. Let me know if that works.

+1 Yeah, the CPU list is super strict—what processor do you have?

Agreed. I had the same problem. For me, it was my older i7 CPU that wasn't on the supported list, even though I had TPM 2.0 sorted.

+1 Yeah, that CPU list is super strict. Have you double-checked your exact processor model against it?

Agreed, and also make sure Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS too—that one trips up a lot of people. Let me know if that works.
