What steps should I follow to exit BIIOS and install a Windows 11 flash drive on my PC?
I recently completed constructing my initial gaming computer and carefully followed each stage from a YouTube tutorial. When I powered it on using the Windows 11 flash drive, it immediately launched the Windows installation window. However, upon reaching the driver section, it failed to recognize any drivers, prompting me to investigate further. I navigated to the repair section of the computer settings and proceeded with disk cleaning and formatting. After closing the session and restarting the PC, it automatically appeared in the BIOS menu, yet the SSD remained invisible.
Additionally, I have a WD Blue SN570 1TB Internal SSD installed inside my PS5 console. After removing it from the console and inserting it into my PC, the BIOS detected it, which surprised me since it wasn’t identifying the other SSD.
As a console gamer, I’m still learning about gaming PCs, so I relied on that YouTube video for guidance. Here are my current specifications:
Motherboard: MSI PRO B760-P WiFi DDR4 ProSeries ATX
CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K with Vetroo V5 White CPU Air Cooler
GPU: GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB
Power Supply: PowerSpec 650W Semi Modular 80+ Bronze
SSD: WD Blue SN570 1TB M.2 (used)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 at 3200 MHz
I have already tried several steps:
- Removing the CMOS battery
- Resetting BIOS settings to default
- Ensuring the Windows flash drive is set as priority boot option
- Disconnecting all components except the keyboard, D-Pad, and the Windows 11 flash drive

If you encounter issues during the Windows 10 clean installation, it may be related to specific steps or configurations.
The question refers to two distinct possibilities regarding the setup.
I successfully set it up now. I installed Windows 10 on my flash drive and used my SSD from the PS5 temporarily until I can obtain a replacement.
