With Microsoft in the news about their extensive redesign of Windows in their new Windows 11 operating system, manufacturers are hard at work to ensure their users are not going to have issues with any of the hardware on their computer.
To help to distinguish which ASUS motherboards are compatibile, ASUS does release this disclaimer about Windows 11:
Wccftech would like to remind our readers to please use caution when upgrading to any new OS, and to ensure backups of computer data and other important settings are made before updating.
First, let’s look at the minimum hardware requirements needed to run Windows 11:
Hardware Requirements for Windows 11
When looking at the above table, the TPM, or Trusted Platform Module 2.0, is required to ensure full compatibility with BitLocker and SecureBoot with Windows 11. It is (currently) a minimum requirement by Microsoft. All ASUS motherboards utilize TPM version 2.0. ASUS stresses the importance of checking to make sure your system settings, especially the Trusted Platform Module. The TPM is a secure cryptoprocessor that is an international standard on all computers, but it is disabled by default on a majority of motherboards and can cause major issues when installing Windows 11. The TPM acts as a dedicated microprocessor for carrying out various cryptographic operations, embedded in a packaging with multiple levels of physical security, giving it a degree of resistance to any flaws in it becoming manipulated.
Here is the current list of TPM 2.0 supported ASUS motherboards:
