Problems with installing windows 11
Hey there, I'm attempting to set up Windows 11 on my newly built PC without using the official key. Initially, I used the Microsoft tool to generate an installation media from the provided XML file. However, when I tried a USB drive with 16GB and followed the BIOS settings (disabling secure boot, TPM), it failed to meet the system requirements. Later, I switched to a Rufus-made USB that didn't require an XML file, which created a local account and bypassed TPM checks. Now I'm encountering an issue where the installation shows no drivers and claims my SSD isn't recognized. My hardware specs are: Ryzen 5 5500 2x8GB, Kingston Fury Renegade 3200mhz, CL16 DDR4, ASRock B450M Pro4, 2TB NV2 3060Ti, and a 600W cooler.
Set up a partition on the desired SSD using alternative methods such as a live Linux distribution or another machine. After installation, remove the partition and choose the available free space. Ensure no system requirements bypass are required.
Enable fTPM in the BIOS settings. BIOS menu → Advanced → AMD fTPM switch. Change it from Disabled to AMD CPU fTPM. Also, make Sure Secure Boot is activated.
The reason for skipping the TPM is that the system works fine without it. You haven’t used the Media Maker with XML files yet.
The Windows installer is having trouble locating completely empty drives. Drivers probably aren't required and won't assist much. Check that the SSD isn't configured in RAID within the BIOS settings. The "create a dummy partition" method has successfully helped me and others multiple times.
