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.
