    Setting up computer for windows 11


    Over the past week, I have been trying to get my Asrock H470 Phantom Gaming 4 Motherboard ready to run Windows 11. My week-long work has had my computer doing startup, BIOS, repeat, and Windows 11 advisor always saying this is not ready or that is not ready. Today it was Secure boot has to enabled, but nowhere in the BIOS can I find that setting. I got this computer 13 months ago, so it is not that old. I think I finally came to the decision to say Windows 11, can take a slow leaky boat to China, I do not want it. Every Commercial I have seen for Windows !! is it running on touch screens, and my monitors are not touch screens. I will just let Windows 10 remain on my SSD until it reaches its end of life, then when that time arrives, I will use Gparted to erase the OS and carry using the Linux Family of Operating systems.

    How do I enable Secure Boot in ASRock BIOS?
    Enable Secure Boot

    • Enter the BIOS: Reboot system and press Del repeatedly at system start. ...
    • Go to Advanced-> CSM Configuration-> Set "CSM Support" to Disabled.
    • Save and exit.
    • Enter BIOS.
    • Go to Security ->Secure Boot-> Set "Secure Boot" to Enabled.
    • Save and exit.

    Enable Secure Boot and enable Platform Trust Technology

    Then, go here: Releases . rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11 . GitHub


    ...and scroll down and download WhyNotWin11.exe
    Save it to your desktop.
    Then run the program, and when it finishes, post a screen shot of the results.

    If I disable CSM, my computer loses the ability to find the C disk, and goes into an endless Restart, Bios restart Bios and repeat until I intervene. The way I have this Motherboard configured, Windows 10 and Manjaro sit on an SSD in the system and Linux Mint sits on the M2 drive.

    Thats because you need to first convert that MBR disk to GPT. Then change it to UEFI

    That sounds like the best plan of all!
