Does your computer have an ASUS motherboard and you want to make sure if you will be able to install the new Microsoft Windows 11 operating system without any issues? Following this guide you will be able to know if your PC is compatible, and if you still don’t own an Asus motherboard or are considering buying one, here we also include a list of Microsoft’s Windows 11 compatible ASUS motherboards so you can purchase confidently.
Just to get this out of the way, ASUS is one of the companies that produces the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) the new Windows 11 requires, so in theory, you should not have compatibility problems trying to install it. However, there are a few exceptions and unfortunately not all Asus motherboards will be able to have it (more on that further ahead).
You shouldn’t have any problems installing Windows 11 on an Asus computer
Computers produced even a few years ago, like the ASUS ROG GL552VW gaming laptop, has support for TPM 2.0. ASUS has integrated a TPM 2.0 module in most of these models since a long time ago. However, this module is not part of the minimum specifications from this manufacturer and this doesn’t mean your ASUS laptop is not capable of running Windows 11 directly.
In the event that you have an Asus desktop PC, it is likely that it has a standard motherboard included, and therefore you have the TPM integrated. Unless the TPM module has been removed manually or is faulty, you shouldn’t have any problems installing and using all the functions of the Microsoft Windows 11 operating system.
If you want to check if your TPM module is active, you just have to follow the following steps:
- Press the Windows and R keys simultaneously, the Windows key bears the operating system logo and is usually found between the CTRL and ALT keys to the left of the keyboard.
- Once this is done, a dialog box will open in which you must write tpm.msc in it, this will invoke the TPM configuration program.
- If you have the TPM installed, you will get another window with an layout just like the image above. In the event that the TPM 2.0 is not in the system or is incorrectly installed, you should see something like the image that appears below.
What should I do if I can’t find the TMP installed in my Asus computer?
It is also likely that the hardware vendor has made a series of adjustments in the BIOS and has disabled this function from there. So it will be necessary to go to the Asus BIOS, check this and in the case it is turned off, to activate it again. To do this, you have to press the DEL key on the keyboard, when the ASUS or ROG logo appears in the boot-up sequence. Once inside the BIOS, go to the Advanced tab and from there select Trusted Computing. You should get a list of security options which will tell you if the TPM device is present on the board, as well as its specification.
In the case that you have an Asus motherboard with an Intel processor you can also use the Intel PTT as a substitute to perform the functions of the TPM chip, you just have to go into the BIOS to Advanced and from there to PCH-FW configuration and set the PTT option to Enable. This Intel technology does the same functionality as a TPM chip, but it is less secure while storing keys and sensitive information than a TPM module. It will still be useful for installing Windows 11.
When you have activate it, the following message will appear, reminding you that the keys will be stored in the same memory space as the BIOS firmware.
What happens if you have an AMD CPU? Well, here you can activate the TPM firmware or fTPM technology, likewise going to the BIOS, through Advanced and then AMD fTPM configuration. From there they will let us choose what type of TPM we want to activate. If it is a TPM module we must select Discrete TPM, if we do not have it physically installed then we must select Firmware TPM.
How do I know if my Asus motherboard is Windows 11 compatible?
First of all, the brand recommends updating the BIOS firmware to avoid problems when running Windows 11 on our PCs with an ASUS motherboard. If you have followed the steps above there is almost 100% chance you will be able to install the OS. Below you will see a list of all Windows 11 compatible Asus motherboards, so if you see yours on the list, make sure you have the latest version of the BIOS installed.
