OS, BIOS.
You don’t necessarily need to adjust the BIOS before or after installing OS. Just follow the standard steps for your system, and the installation should work fine. If you're unsure, checking the manual or using a reliable source will help you avoid mistakes.
Are you certain it's a brand new machine you've just assembled? Then verify your RAM operates at the proper speed by activating the XMP profile, and confirm the SATA configuration is set to ACHI.
When setting up several hard drives, ensure only the operating system drive is connected during installation. After installing, correctly arrange the remaining drives in the BIOS boot sequence. This prevents the computer from attempting to start from a non-existent HDD while the OS runs on the SSD.
However, if compatibility with Windows tools is an issue or you only verify minimum requirements, most motherboards now include the correct BIOS and flashing processes, though installing a new one can still be tricky at times and might brick the system if not done correctly. Just install the operating system once you meet the necessary specs. Ensure your drivers are compatible with the OS installation. It would be useful to share your system specifications.
