Problem with installing Windows 11 because of old boot setup?
The system reports an issue during BIOS/LEGACY UEFI boot: GPT SSD, GPT UEFI flash. During installation it seems to work, but after a reset the error appears. Attempts to boot directly from BIOS also fail. The device is an AMD R7 3700u with 24GB RAM.

It seems the issue is linked to the USB drive. Where did you obtain it from?

i just bought a 16GB USB drive and then got latest version of windows ISO from m.s website and made the flash with Rufus 4.2 .
and yes, your right, but unfortunately i am not familiar with AMD chipsets, this is a laptop asus fx 505... 3700u+24gb ram+1650GPU.
it came with 128nvme+1tb.
i took out the nvme and swapped it with a 512gb one.
any suggestions?
it would be better not to claim the answer yourself
consider using a media creation tool instead. This tool handles both options.
in Rufus, the settings appear to have set it as MBR, whereas UEFI is required. If you had used a media creation tool, the installer could support either drive type.
It isn't a Rufus issue. You need to start from the USB drive using UEFI settings.
You're entering legacy mode.
Note [UEFI] appears before the USB flash drive name.

UEFI mode has to be enabled in BIOS.
