Another option is to check if there's a newer BIOS update for your motherboard that might add the necessary CPU compatibility flags. Let me know if that works.

Yeah, Oh, and did you also double-check that Secure Boot is actually enabled in that BIOS?

Same here. You could also try using the official Media Creation Tool to perform a clean install, as it sometimes bypasses the upgrade blocker. Another option is to check Microsoft's official list to confirm your specific CPU model is excluded.
