You can indeed install tpm 2 by adding a tpm module. They are available on ebay. However you still cannot upgrade to win11 as the I7 6700k is not on their approved list. Very sad. I have it as well and installed TPM 2.

I think I know the answer but there is no way to get a windows 11 authorized CPU for this motherboard? I think we were near the cutover? I wasn't even aware you could add a TPM 2.0 board? What does it plug into?

No I cant, it appears my information on this is incorrect.
Knowing the differences between a TPM 1.0 chip and a TPM 2.0 chip aren’t really necessary for the enthusiast PC owner, but Microsoft points out several differences: TPM 2.0 supports more sophisticated cryptographic algorithms, provides a more standardized experience, and, most importantly, can be integrated into a CPU.
In a Twitter post on Thursday, Weston pointed out that almost every CPU in the last five years includes a TPM, either called the Intel PTT, or the AMD PSP fTPM. Microsoft has required such a TPM to certify PCs since at least 2015. However, you may need to go into your BIOS and enable that functionality. Robert Hallock, director of technical marketing at AMD, also noted that most PCs already support a first-gen TPM.
Editor's Note: Microsoft removed the "soft floor" mentioned earlier in this article. This means that the TPM 1.0 has been removed from the minimum requirements, and only TPM 2.0 PCs will be eligible for Windows 11.
This is totally unrelated to any Operating System, but I've been trying to find out why my Z170-A + Intel Core i7-6700K BIOS 3802 has no PTT in the BIOS (there's no PCH-FW either).
