How to install windows 11
I never imagined I'd be setting up Windows 11. The health check suggested just installing the TPM component, but the BIOS only offered two choices: AMD CPU TPM or a route to LPC TPM. I’m leaning toward the CPU option, though I’m not sure if there are additional steps beyond that. I’m wondering if Windows 11 can handle secure boot and CSM settings automatically. I don’t have any tutorials that walk through this without extra configuration, like dealing with legacy BIOS modes.
Windows 11 doesn’t strictly need a constant internet connection for installation. You can install it once and use the PC without an active connection afterward. However, if you're in areas with unreliable or limited internet, you might face issues later.
There are still options available to navigate around that issue.
Begin by avoiding this process. You'll need an internet connection for: installing the newest OS update, obtaining the latest drivers for your device, and accessing built-in applications. Activating Windows might require you to visit the web directly to download specific drivers if the maker hasn't sent them through Microsoft's updates. This is especially relevant for frequently changing drivers such as GPUs. To get the most current versions, you may have to download and install drivers manually from the manufacturer instead of relying on the standard Windows ones. Some features are updated through the Store app (like built-in apps). After everything is configured properly, you can safely go offline.
Great! It’s good to know you have a checklist. After installation and updates, there’s no indication of issues.
