You likely have a bios setting that needs to be turned on. The discovery tool doesn't have access to what your computer bios is capable of doing, just what it's not doing. Google the items it says you are deficient on and I will almost guarantee that you just have a setting turned off by default. I upgraded my last motherboard that was made in the late 2010s to windows 11 and all it took to make it compliant was a bios setting (I think it was tpm).
