Asus is preparing a series of motherboards for Windows 11. The motherboard manufacturer has released BIOS updates for various chipsets, including those that support Intel Kaby Lake processors from 2017. Both Intel and AMD chipsets are supported, and these new BIOS updates will automatically enable TPM (Trusted Platform Module) on AMD and Intel systems.

TPM is a minimum requirement for Windows 11, and it's a change that caused confusion after many realized their computers didn't have the option enabled in the BIOS, or it was confusingly called "PTT" or "PSP fTPM" in the BIOS settings. Microsoft's Windows 11 upgrade check didn't help with that confusion, so it's encouraging to see major manufacturers like Asus now enabling TPM by default so people don't have to look for it.
While Asus plans to support a wide range of motherboards for Windows 11, not every BIOS update is available yet. Neowin has located a full list of Asus motherboards that are compatible with Windows 11, so you should check to see if your system is waiting for an update.

It's not yet clear exactly when Windows 11 will be available as a free upgrade to Windows 10 users. Microsoft is hinting that the release date will be around October.
