Thanks! I turned on Secure Boot, but now my computer won't start and says "No bootable device." What do I do?

This solution worked on my system too. Thanks!

Yeah, What specific requirement is it failing on, like TPM or Secure Boot? Let me know if that works.

+1 Did you manage to check if TPM 2.0 is enabled in your BIOS?

Yeah, that's the first thing to check. Also, make sure Secure Boot is on in the BIOS too—it's another common requirement that gets missed. Good luck!

This. You could also try creating a fresh Windows 11 installation USB with the Media Creation Tool, as that sometimes bypasses upgrade blocks.

I had the same problem with a similar older build. I ended up doing a clean install from USB and it worked.

You could also try enabling TPM and Secure Boot in your BIOS, since that's a common blocker for older hardware. Let me know if that works.

Same here. I had the same problem with my 7th gen CPU. I had to manually enable both TPM and Secure Boot in the BIOS before the upgrade would even start.
