Check your setup and configurations carefully. The issue with 2200G support may be due to driver or compatibility problems, even though you see it enabled in BIOS. Secure Boot might be working in the BIOS but not showing up during health checks—this can happen if there are conflicts or missing components. First-gen Ryzen systems seem fine, which suggests the problem lies elsewhere. Installing an ISO on USB is a common workaround for Windows 11, especially if your system isn’t booting normally from the OS.
The AMD xxxxG chips follow the earlier core architecture, making them function more like standard processors in terms of silicon support. These aren't compatible with Windows 11 yet. * = Some unexpected behavior appears around 5xxxGs; core type isn't clear to me.
There are alternative solutions. It's unclear if Microsoft plans to leave users like you without support, which means no new updates. This is because the CPU isn't officially backed. Keep in mind that Windows 10 will remain stable until 2025. My mom's computer is similar, so I'll keep it on Windows 10. Once 2025 comes around, we'll decide. Noticing her machine was a $300 Lenovo model from Office Depot and looks like it needs an upgrade, I think she might be ready for one.
