Asus is working on a new firmware version for some of its motherboards that will allow PCs that have them to be able to officially install Windows 11. These motherboards will not have to meet minimum requirements such as the much talked about TMP 2.0 that Microsoft asks to install the new version of Windows.
Microsoft's Windows 11 system requirements have been quite confusing since the update was announced on June 24. Apart from the fact that the base requirements are not very great, the big problem is the TPM 2.0 security protocol that they ask for, and that is only in CPUs after 2016. Knowing that without Windows 11, many computers are left to their own devices to have updates to Security, that Asus has released a firmware update so that their motherboards can install it is going to help many users.
Asus to Windows 11 installation help
Asus appears to be working on firmware updates for its Intel motherboards, releasing beta versions that will allow Windows 11 to be installed on certain products despite not having a TPM 2.0 base. The company is working on firmware updates that will allow users to upgrade to Windows 11 on their PC, explaining in a note for its STRIX Z270F motherboard: «Compatible with Windows 11 by default, no configuration changes required in UEFI BIOS«.
This ensures that the TPM 2.0 that is giving you so many headaches will be activated by default and will make installing Windows 11 a little easier. Note that this is a beta version of the motherboard BIOS that is still undergoing final testing before its official release.
The board in question is a motherboard that supports the Intel Kaby Lake CPU series, along with the Celeron G3900 and above and the Core i3-6098P series. While Windows 11 officially supports 11th Gen Intel Core processors at a minimum, Asus is taking this opportunity to support XNUMXth Gen Sky Lake CPUs and XNUMXth Gen Kaby Lake CPUs for their users on certain motherboards. This may also mean that Asus isn't done, so your motherboard may soon be eligible for a future firmware update that could soon be compatible with Windows XNUMX.
