Yeah, You could also try using Rufus to create a Windows 11 installation USB that has those requirement checks removed.

You could also go into your BIOS and make sure Secure Boot is actually enabled. Another option is to check for a BIOS update from Lenovo that might add the proper Windows 11 support.

This. I had the same problem with a similar model. A BIOS update from Lenovo's support site finally enabled Secure Boot properly for me.

This happened to me. After the BIOS update, I also had to go in and manually enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 in the settings.

Agreed. I had the same problem. Even after enabling those, I had to change my disk partition to GPT before the installer would finally take it. Good luck!

This happened to me. I ended up using the official Media Creation Tool but selecting the "This PC" option for the upgrade, and it finally pushed through. Let me know if that works.
