Cannot Reinstall Windows 11

I have been experiencing terrible CPU usage since my computer randomly shut down 2 days ago. I have gotten it to a somewhat usable state and was going to try to reinstall windows 11 to try to fix the issues, however my device is not compatible with windows 11. What's funny is I never installed windows 11, I just woke up one day and it was installed. I am the only person who uses my pc. I attempted to change the registry to skip the check but the AllowUpgradesWithUnsup... tag was already there. I am part of the windows insider program so I think that may have something to do with it. I do not see anything about tpm in my bios and I have an i5-4690k cpu. My motherboard is a gigabyte z97 hd3. Thanks

    Hi SpencerBass,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    You indicate you are trying to re-install Windows 11, what operating system is now on your PC, is it Windows 10 or 11?

    Because your hardware is no supported on Windows 11, you would need to re-install Windows 10, then perform that registry Edit and then upgrade back to Windows 11.

    Also, if you are on unsupported hardware, it would be best to not sign that device up to the Insider program, just install the22h2 public release.

    I need more information about your system,

    Download the tiny utility from the link below, then run that utility and please provide a screenshot of the result of running that scan
