Problem with new motherboard startup
You've upgraded to an ASUS B550F while keeping the same Ryzen 5 3600 CPU. When you boot up, it shows a message about a new processor and prompts you to reset FTPM or keep it. If BitLocker is on, the system won't start. You're trying to decide whether to flash the BIOS, revert to Windows 10, or press Y. What should you do?
Ensure your MB BIOS is current first, and check if BitLocker is activated on your hard drive.
Bitlocker is a file encryption tool that comes pre-installed with Windows unless you disable it yourself. If you haven’t activated it, there’s likely no encryption on the drive, and pressing 'Y' should allow normal startup. Make sure to update your BIOS before proceeding.
