Attempting to set up Windows 11 on your latest machine indicates incompatibility issues.
Attempting to set up Windows 11 on your latest machine indicates incompatibility issues.
Locate the "CSM" configuration and turn it off. Ensure Secure Boot remains off regardless of BIOS adjustments. Alternatively, create a Windows 11 installation media using Rufus, which should bypass compatibility verification and allow disabling TPM and Secure Boot during setup.
The BIOS is set to UEFI, but I can’t locate a way to disable CSM. This issue arises because I don’t have a physical drive installed.
MSI follows its own standard configuration for CSM. Each maker has a unique method, which is why MSI implements it this way. The installation disk term generally describes the media used, which might include a USB drive, as I interpreted based on the mention of Rufus.
Don’t have much familiarity with direct from Microsoft USB drives, so I’m unsure if they’re rewriteable or not. You might want to give it a try, but I have no certainty about its success. Instead, you can simply purchase an 8GB or larger USB drive from any retailer (Sandisk, Kingston, PNY, etc.) and format it yourself. Rufus can download the Windows 11 ISO (just enable the option to check for updates automatically). When prompted, choose "Select" and navigate through the dropdown to select the download. Click "Download" and follow the steps to install Windows 11. Be sure to pick the correct USB device and press "Start." The interface will display a warning: this action will erase all data on the drive, so proceed with caution.
Understood, I'm here to help. Just to say, I'm still learning about this stuff. No worries!
