The list of Windows 11 compatible motherboards from ASUS, ASRock, and MSI
After Microsoft released the Windows 11 operating system through an online event on June 24, it soon released the first Windows 11 version available for download and installation, but only for devices participating in the Windows Insider Program. During this period of trial, what annoys users the most is the requirement for TPM 2.0 in the Windows 11 hardware configuration requirements.
To this end, Microsoft has also explained related issues many times and says that Windows 11 supports Intel’s seventh-generation Kaby Lake series and AMD’s first-generation Zen series processors to respond to users’ demands. In any case, TPM 2.0 seems to have become a problem that ordinary users cannot avoid when installing Windows 11.
Recently, major motherboard manufacturers have issued announcements to confirm which motherboards they own are compatible with Windows 11. Some motherboards do not necessarily need to install additional TPM 2.0 hardware modules. The firmware TPM can be built-in through the BIOS (Intel platform is PTT, AMD platform is fTPM )approved.

MSI
MSI stated that motherboards that support TPM 2.0 do not require additional TPM modules. Users need to enable the “Security Device Support” option in the BIOS to enable TPM 2.0. Supported motherboards and corresponding processors include Intel Z590/B560/H510 series (10th and 11th generation Core series), Z490/B460/H410 series (10th and 11th generation Core series), Z390/Z370/B365/B360/H370/H310 series ( 8th and 9th generation Core series), Z270/B250/H270 series (6th and 7th generation Core series), Z170/B150/H170/H110 series (6th and 7th generation Core series), X299 Series (X suffix Core 10000/9000/78xx series), AMD X570/B550/A520 series, X470/B450 series, X370/B350/A320 series, TRX40/X399 series.
MSI emphasized that only the motherboard BIOS supports TPM 2.0, in addition to Intel’s 6th and 7th generation Core series, X suffix Core 9000 and 78xx series, AMD Ryzen 1000 series, and Ryzen Threadripper 1000 series processors not in the list of Microsoft Windows 11 compatible processors for the time being.
Asus
For the compatibility of the above different motherboards corresponding to the processors, please go to ASUS’s official website to learn more. ASUS said that Windows 11 has not yet been officially released, and the Insider Preview version may have stability issues. Because it has not passed the formal hardware verification and qualification certification, users need to make their own decisions and take risks.
ASRock
ASRock stated that users do not need to worry about the lack of a TPM module on the motherboard. The firmware TPM built into the BIOS can be verified by TPM 2.0. The Intel platform enables the “Intel Platform Trust Technology” under the UEFI BIOS, and the AMD platform adjusts the “AMD fTPM switch” option to [AMD CPU fTPM], supported motherboards include Intel 500 series (Z590/H570/B560/H510), 400 series (Z490/H470/B460/H410), 300 series (Z390/Z370/H370/B365/B360/H310/H310C), 200 series (Z270/B250/ H270), 100 series (Z170/B150/H170/H110), X299 series AMD 500 series (X570/B550/A520), 400 series (X470/B450), 300 series (X370/B350/A320), TRX40 series and X399 series.
The above is a summary of the current information of several motherboard manufacturers. If users have any questions, especially related to the compatibility of specific models of CPUs, it is recommended to check with the manufacturers.
