Ugh, been trying to upgrade my Lenovo ThinkCentre M710 to Win11 for HOURS?

Same here. You could also try using the official Microsoft Media Creation Tool to do a clean install, as it sometimes bypasses the checker's strict blocks.

Agreed. Yeah, agreed. Also double-check that Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS—that one can sneak up on you too.

Yeah, I had the same problem. After enabling TPM, I also had to switch from RAID to AHCI for the storage mode in the BIOS before it would finally pass the check. Good luck!
