Question: Cannot install Windows 11 on new build
Question: Cannot install Windows 11 on new build
I'm wondering if you have another computer available to test your Windows USB installer on.
You might transfer your SSD to a borrowed machine and check if Windows installs there. Plug any SSD or hard drive the host uses regularly.
If it successfully installs Windows 11, it indicates the installer works properly.
Continue the process as needed; if it finishes without issues, proceed.
When the installation screen shows a countdown to shutdown, turn off the host computer.
Remove the USB stick and take out the SSD from the new system.
Reconnect the host's regular SSD, ensuring the new setup remains unaffected.
Insert the drive back into your new system and observe whether it triggers a BSOD or completes the installation.
Avoid reinserting the USB drive during the boot process; simply start the system and monitor the outcome.
I don't have a way to go too deep, so I had to visit a friend's place to update the GPU. I'm unsure if they'd be okay with me going further. Today I'll install a new CPU and motherboard. I hope debugging after the BSODs will confirm whether I can return the CPU. I also read about compatibility problems between the MSI B550 and Ryzen 5600X, but I have the latest BIOS, so I'll test it. If that doesn't work, the only option left would be the crucial P3 Plus.
