I updated the BIOS like you said and now I see an "AMD fTPM" option, but enabling it made Windows ask for a BitLocker recovery key I've never seen before.

Can confirm. Oh, that BitLocker prompt is a common snag—did your Microsoft account have the recovery key saved online?

Yeah, and for that CPU, you might be out of luck—the FX series doesn't officially support TPM 2.0.

Can confirm. I had the same problem with an older system. I ended up having to stick with Windows 10.

Agreed. You could also try using the official Microsoft media creation tool to bypass some checks, but it's not guaranteed. Another option is to look into a small, inexpensive TPM 2.0 module if your motherboard has a header for it.

This. I had the same problem with an older AMD system. I ended up just sticking with Windows 10 for that machine.

You could also try using a third-party tool like Rufus to create a Windows 11 installer that bypasses the TPM and CPU checks.

Yeah, Before you try that, have you double-checked for a setting called AMD fTPM or PSP in your BIOS?

Agreed. I had the same problem with an older AMD system. I had to update my BIOS to even see the fTPM option. Good luck!

This happened to me. I ended up using a workaround with Rufus to create an install USB that bypasses the TPM check.
