So there's nothing gained in using a discrete TPM module when it comes to Win11. If there happens to actually be a discrete TPM module attached onto the TPM header of the board, it will change nothing about Win11 compatibility, since old boards only work with TPM 1.2 modules and newer boards with TPM 2.0 modules, which of course those boards already bring with them in form of a firmware TPM. So if you set the BIOS to 'Discrete TPM', it essentially disables the TPM. The boards don't come with external TPM modules attached, they either have a firmware TPM 2.0 which Win11 requires (almost all boards from the last six years or so), or if the boards are older, they have a firmware TPM 1.2 which Win11 isn't happy with.

My only *guess* is that something about the drive (SSD?) you want to install to is confusing Windows setup, so for troubleshooting you should also describe that drive and maybe whether you can 'see' that drive okay from within the BIOS and/or whether that drive was used previously for some OS. Of course we are assuming that your USB installation media is okay (perhaps you could try to boot it on another PC but of course don't proceed further into setup). Time should be similar if instead of the F11 prompt you had no other bootable drive (for example an SSD fresh from the box or after secure erase) in which case the BIOS would automatically use the USB. On my MSI Z690 Pro-A DDR4 with 12700K processor and internal graphics there is around ten seconds (only) between selecting the UEFI USB drive (from an F11 prompt) and the screen changing to deep blue with Windows setup prompt.

You will need to describe your hardware such as motherboard, processor, etc in order to get proper help obviously your situation is not normal.
