I completed assembling my new PC yesterday after spending three hours working hard. When I turned it on, I felt relieved when it entered BIOS, but soon realized it was causing issues. It starts up, all fans activate, and every part shows up—RAM, storage drives, and the SSD is present. However, it fails to progress beyond BIOS. Each time I disconnect or restart, it jumps straight into BIOS without loading properly. I've tried swapping the SSD, changing SATA connections, and even disabling legacy mode, but nothing resolves the problem. The drive won't recognize the SATA as a boot device. Assistance needed!

Create a USB Windows installation drive using the Windows Media Creation Tool. Reinstall from the ground up. Ensure your M2 drive is included.

Thanks for the question! I’m not sure about the reason behind it, but I’m curious to understand why it works that way.

Windows 11 doesn’t allow legacy MBR support, so many makers removed it from the BIOS. This simplifies their work. Microsoft included mbr2gpt.exe in both versions to handle this change.

It's tough when things don't go smoothly, but I appreciate how it helps developers. I faced a few hurdles today—had to reshape the storage and install some questionable tools—but it finally worked! My new PC is now up and running. Thanks for being my hero!

Indicates CSM/UEFI mode is enabled. Turn off CSM, reinstall the system on a fresh NVMe drive, and then link your SATA connection to a port that isn't blocked by M.2 slots.
