I think your system cannot be upgraded to Windows 11. There are no drivers available for it.

 

There are drivers available for that board. See the pic from the support page for that board. The problem is the processor. According to what I have found, that cpu does not have integrated TPM. That is why you do not see the option in the bios.

 

Well, I did some more checking and found conflicting specs. Some say yes the cpu has TPM and others say no it does not. From the absence of an option in the bios, I would tend to believe the cpu does not have integrated TPM.

 

Found it.
Security tab. Intel platform trust technology=enabled I used a compatible 2.0 tpm hardware module and left the bios setting disabled.


Should I enable secure boot?

 

Before enabling secure boot, what bios mode are you running ie legacy or uefi?

 

uefi

 

It must be UEFI -I think as IMHO
as if it was legacy he could not have enabled TPM even with a hardware module
It is shown UEFI
in screenshot of system info on opening post

As his processor is 9th generation
Intel® Core™ i7-9700F Processor

the system must have TPM
What Is Trusted Platform Model (TPM) and Its Relation to Intel®...

Many people are confused thinking that TPM must be in the CPU
that is not correct

A TPM, or a trusted platform module, is a physical or embedded security technology (microcontroller) that resides on a computer’s motherboard or in its processor. TPMs use cryptography to help securely store essential and critical information on PCs to enable platform authentication.

If your computer is based on the 8th Generation or later Intel® Core™ Processor family, then your system has Intel® PTT, an integrated TPM that adheres to the 2.0 specifications.

On your board UEFI setup
it is on security tab
Intel(R) Platform Trust Technology Enable/disable Intel PTT in ME. Disable this option to use discrete TPM Module

ME means Management Engine. (Intel)
So unless the board already had the discrete hardware module - you actually did not need one.

as on your board the support for TPM 2.0 is in he chipset.

HOWEVER well done on sorting it
It is a setting that confuses MANY people.
I congratulate you.

Should I enable secure boot?

 

Well? Should I enable it to upgrade and then disable it or not enable it at all? Really don't know what I should do or not do. It is currently disabled.

 

1. YOU can leave it off for now

2. If you are going to upgrade to 11 using the upgrade assistant
Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)
or via windows updates if you have received such update to upgrade to 11 -
IT COULD if it was ON be left ON.

2. If you are going to upgrade with a clean install using the installation media from the link above then it is best doing that when secure boot is OFF

3. After the upgrade turn secure boot on AS IT IS PART OF THE PROTECTION SYSTEM for windows which together with ELAM (early launch anti malware) prevents - or at least attempts do prevent malware infecting the boot process firmware.

4. Here is the guide for 11 upgrade or clean install
(11) Upgrade to Windows 11 Tutorial | Windows 11 Forum (elevenforum.com)
The preferred method on that tutorial is setup from the ISO when IN WINDOWS 10 and check keep personal files and apps

and the clean install
(11) Clean Install Windows 11 Tutorial | Windows 11 Forum (elevenforum.com)
of course ensure you have the below mentioned image and a copy of your personal data.

5. OR the method outlined with upgrade assistant
(11) Upgrade to Windows 11 from Windows 10 with Windows 11 Installation Assistant Tutorial | Windows 11 Forum (elevenforum.com)

6. CAUTION
All usually goes OK
However from experience both on this and other sites and my personal experience of setting it up for family and firends
MAKE A FULL IMAGE before you even attempt it.
You will be unlikely to need it but - upset and heartache may follow if it goes wrong and you do not have a full image to return to.

7. Ensure before you start that if you are using Bitlocker you have your key and your recovery key.

Sorry it is a long post but MANY people, just jump in and then regret it, when it has gone wrong.

FInally ANY QUESTIONS please ask.
