Your system is posting correctly. You've installed Windows 10 and are currently formatting your HDD, which is fine since it's using a SSD. No additional steps needed in the BIOS beyond setting the boot drive. Just make sure drivers are updated and proceed with formatting.

Visit the manufacturer's site for the motherboard, download the newest drivers and BIOS files. Be cautious as installing the BIOS on a USB drive can be challenging. Ensure the USB is formatted with FAT32.

I can assist with a wide range of options. Check out the Intel H97 Anniversary page for more details.

You don’t have to flash or update the BIOS unless there’s an issue. Focus on drivers and Windows updates. In the BIOS, only verify the boot queue. From the driver list, check audio, INF (chipset), and the first two Intel entries. Everything else isn’t necessary. VGA is required only for iGPU use, and HDD should be enabled if you want alerts when connecting an HDD.
