Windows 11 PC Health Check Results

Hello - I have 2 questions related to the Windows 11 Health Check. I would very much appreciate an answer to both, regardless of the answer to the 1st one.

Here goes:

I ran the Health Check, and my PC does not meet the requirements for 2 reasons.

My motherboard (Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Ultra) does not support the TPM 2.0 protocol. It has a header for an add-on card, but they are not available for purchase  currently, and Secure Boot is currently disabled in BIOS.

My BIOS however, does support PTT.

Question 1 - If I enable PTT and Secure Boot in the BIOS, will that satisfy the requirements for the Health Check Utility and allow me to run Windows 11 ?

I have already seen a couple of Internet posts indicating that people have run the Health Check with PTT enabled and it works.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On to question 2

My current configuration has EUFI Bios Enabled and Active, CSM Enabled, OS installed on an NVME drive on NTFS and a GPT partition structure.

In order to activate PTT and Secure Boot, I need to disable CSM in order for the options to appear in the BIOS. I have seen conflicting reports regarding Enabling or Disabling CSM on an existing system including possibly having to reinstall the OS.

Question 2 -  What will changing the CSM status do to my system in terms of the OS, booting to BIOS on restart, or accessing BIOS through UEFI ?

Thank You

Likely yes. TPM 1.2 is mandatory which you have, 2.0 is recommended.
