PC That ran Win11 not compatible with win 11?

[morytox]

Hi Folks, 

 

i have a system that had some issues with a ssd. It kept disappearing as the system got hot and then stuck in Bios as it did not detect it until it cooled down the system.

So i decided to switch out the SSD and try with a brand new one. 

I started from Win11 boot stick, entered the License code and it told me, it cannot install win11 since my system is not compatible ?!

 

In my bios Secure boot and TPM 2.0 is already activated. (It is an AMD system with a Biostar MB., followed the Biostar steps to verify, that everything is enabled as it should be).

 

I do not understand, why it now has any issues installing Win11 on that damn system...

[bezza...]

specs? custom or prebuilt

[morytox]

Custom, 

Ryzen 9 3900x,

Biostar B550T-Silver

2x 16gb Corsair Vengeance 3200

Former SSD: Corsair MP600 (PCIeGen4), now SSD: Samsung 970 EVO each 1TB

Gigabyte 2070 8gb

 

Should be all imortant specs or did i forget anything important?

just use Rufus and enable the bypass to force the install, Windows 11 is stupid and just doesn't wanna work sometimes.

Rufus is a USB install creator > https://rufus.ie/en/ 

 

use another machine to download the Windows 11 ISO using the windows media creation tool > https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11

 

then use rufus select the USB drive to use, select the windows ISO image and enable the bypass checkbox. then proceed to flash the USB. then you have a USB with windows 11 that should work to install on your pc.

 

 

^^Image taken from rufus website. that first checkbox should be ticked. Rest is optional to your liking.

German is fine  , I think you have to select "Image-Eigenschaft" then select Extended Install

So, I am looking at the BioStar B550T-Silver manual.

Wow... Windows XP mixed with Vista screenshots, and no section related to the BIOS, beside updating it. I mean, there is lazy and not caring, and there is lazy and not caring.

 

So, you have to help us more, if you want to actually fix your problem.

Every UEFI is different, every manufacturer likes to use different terms for the same thing.

Older MSI boards, for example, had an option along the lines of "Windows 8 mode" [Enable/Disable]. Windows 10 was released by the time the board was released. People, as a result, turned it off (was also default state)... as they have Windows 10, not 8. In reality, this option, when disabled (default), would make the UEFI emulate the old BIOS for installing legacy OSs, like Windows XP. And CSM was enabled as well, if I recall correctly. So, the option should be enabled for Windows 7 and up (yes, 7).

 

So, what I am trying to say, is that you need to go through the UEFI, or provide us with a series of screenshot of the UEFI, so that we can hope we can guess what to tell you to set. Typically, I look through the motherboard manual, and the important options are at least mentioned, and describe in some vague fashion, which if enough to help people. BioStar, sadly, doesn't provide anything.
