Following ASUS, the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer ASRock has released a list of its own motherboards that are compatible with the upcoming Windows 11 operating system.
To get started, remember that the latest Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module). However, as it turned out later, TPM 2.0 verification can be passed without hardware solutions using the TPM firmware. Similar methods are implemented on both the Intel platform (PTT) and the AMD platform (fTPM). Thus, in theory, a hardware TPM 2.0 might not be required to install Windows 11.
ASRock Intel platform:
| Generation: | Chipset support: |
| *Intel 100 series | Z170, H170, B150, H110 |
