This. Yeah, and what does the Health Check app specifically say is the problem?

+1 I had the same problem with an older Ryzen. The health check told me my CPU wasn't on the supported list, which was the real blocker.

Yeah, that CPU isn't on the official list, so what exactly did the health check say was the problem?

I had the same problem with my old Ryzen. The health check tool just said my processor wasn't supported, even though it ran fine. Hope that helps.

Yeah, this happened to me too. I ended up having to use a registry edit workaround to bypass the TPM check on my older CPU.

You could also try using the official Windows 11 Installation Assistant, as it sometimes bypasses checks that the standard installer gets stuck on. Hope that helps.

Yeah, the Health Check tool probably cut off—what specific requirement did it say was missing?

Can confirm. I had the same problem with my Ryzen 1600. The installer blocks it because that CPU is just one generation too old for Microsoft's official support list.

Can confirm. I had the same problem. I ended up sticking with Windows 10 on that machine, and it runs perfectly fine.
