Gigabyte's TPM 2.0 SPI 2.0 module is compatible with Gigabyte motherboards featuring a TPM connector, including the Intel 400, 500, 600, 700 and Z390 M GAMING series, as well as some AMD models. However, the GA-Z97X-Gaming 3 motherboard is not on the official list of boards compatible with this TPM module. What's more, this motherboard does not appear to have a native TPM connector, making installation of this module uncertain or even impossible without a specific adapter.
In short, this TPM module is probably not compatible with your ZA97 X Gaming 3 motherboard, as it does not have a standard TPM header supported by this module.

The TPM module is compatible with the Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X motherboard, as it is intended for Intel Z390 M Gaming and similar models. A TPM 2.0 module is generally required for the installation of Windows 11 Pro, as Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 support as a prerequisite for installation. Your Intel i9 9900K processor and RAM are compatible, but Windows 11 Pro cannot be officially installed without TPM 2.0. Therefore, you need the TPM module to install Windows 11 Pro on this system.

The Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P motherboard can be retrofitted with a TPM module as it has a TPM header. However, it is important to choose a suitable module that is compatible with the 20-pin header.

The GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 module is compatible with Gigabyte motherboards that have a TPM connector, such as the Intel 400, 500, 600, and 700 series. The Aorus Z590 Pro AX motherboard has a TPM connector, which means it should be compatible with this module. Be sure to check the exact specifications of your motherboard to confirm compatibility.

The TPM 2.0 SPI V2 module is compatible with the Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi motherboard, as it is designed to work with Intel Z390 motherboards that have a TPM connector. Make sure your motherboard has such a connector for a successful installation.

Your motherboard is too old, it does not have the necessary interface to connect this module to the board.

This module does not fit on your board, you need this one:

See manual p. 31.

When it comes to Windows 11, it is almost certain that the CPU is the problem. Here is the list to check:

There are lots of instructions on the internet on how to install Windows 11 anyway.
Yes, and maybe you don't even need to buy such a module.
Currently, there are very few mainboards or none that have a TPM 2.0 module installed coming directly from the factory when it's not a buisnessdevice. This refers to mainboards for self-build PCs with mainboards of the size of ATX/mATX. However, some offer the option of buying a TPM 2.0 module as a separate module and retrofitting it on the board in a designated slot ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...).
In addition to physical TPM modules, there are also fTPM (firmware TPM, called PTT at Intel).
Intel and AMD have been integrating TPM version 2.0 into their CPUs for several years. To be able to use this, the BIOS of the PC/notebook must support it and it must be activated there.
Intel CPUs from the 8th generation onwards usually have TPM integrated. Intel calls this PTT (Platform Trust Technology). AMD has integrated TPM as fTPM in the CPUs since the use of Socket AM4 from around 2016.

FAQ about TPM 2.0 https://www.heise.de/select...
Before buying a TPM module for the mainboard, which might be unnecessary, you should check whether the BIOS allows fTPM / PTT via CPU and whether this only has to be activated.
Help pages for (f)TPM from various mainboard manufacturers:
ASUS https://www.asus.com/ch-de...
MSI https://www.msi.com/blog...

Perhaps a TPM module is already installed on the mainboard (onboard), activate it under BIOS -> Security -> Security Device Support (Enable). Then restart and open Windows with the command "Windows key" + "R" in the field "tpm.msc". The information on the TPM module should then be there. (Alternative: youtube.com/watch?v=6myfVPI...)

Hello,
Normally your motherboard does not need an adapter, have you looked in the bios and enabled PTT. Have you done the Microsoft test?
But don't rush, many settings will change by then.
