Windows 11 on Ryzen

[Flex]

So upgraded new mobo, CPU and RAM. Got a Ryzen 7 7700X, and want to upgrade to Windows 11. But I am having troubles with enabling the Secure Boot / TPM. I finally got my secure boot enabled in my BIOS, but when trying to upgrade to W11, it still states that the secure aspect does not meet the requirements. Now I want to get back into my BIOS and double check settings, but the Boot screen is completely MIA :?
So 1st, anyone else had issues upgrading to W11 on Ryzen
2nd, What could be casuing missing boot screen? already changed from DP to HDMI to ensure it is not display related.

Do you have Fast Boot enabled? If so, disable it. It can cause horrendous issues.

It was enabled, but that did not change since the Bios Boot screen went MIA. Will however turn it off and try again to see what happens.

What motherboard?

Tapping F2/F10/Delete on startup should get you in to the BIOS. If not, you can remove a RAM stick. System will detect the change and prompt you about a change in RAM.

Never did an upgrade to W11, I always do a fresh install.

Yeah spamming Del does not work. Will try the Ram removal as well.
Can't determine what trigerred the boot screen to not appear

Stay away from windows 11..

I don't know who would willingly install windows 11..

I'm due for a "free upgrade" but I want to somehow prevent my pc from asking me for that upgrade. Windows 10 is great and I've yet met somebody that has told me it's worth moving over. In fact, I know a few people that have reinstalled back down to windows 10.

Do you mean you don't see the POST screen at all and can't get into BIOS?

Are you restarting the PC or shutting down from Windows and then pressing the power button? Whichever one you're doing, do the other one.

Else google "PC skips POST screen," I think there is a way inside Windows to do "advanced startup" or something that ensures you get the POST screen.

When you say upgrade, do you mean from win 10 -> 11? Or fresh install?
Did you check your boot option? Should not be on Legacy/csm, but on UEFI, and then secure boot enabled etc.
Note if you toggle from legacy to uefi, your existing windows won't be able to load, thus you cannot upgrade from _within_ windows.

There is a way to convert your current os partition from MBR to GPT to make it work, but that is a mission in itself, and could risk data loss.

I moved to amd, and wanted to enable SAM, but could not enable it on legacy bios mode. So my pc would just boot loop (or just get stuck on black screen.. cant remember exactly) But changing it back to legacy booted fine. Ended up just doing a clean install with all the correct goodies enabled.

Nonsense.

If your motherboard support BIOS flashback, might be good to just load the latest stable (non beta) version available using that

What motherboard is it?

Once you can get into BIOS, use optimised defaults, turn off CSM and fast boot. Turn on XMP/DOCP. fTPM should be enabled by default. But look for it in the settings.

Secure boot will only enable once you do a fresh install of Windows or boot into existing Windows, the BIOS is waiting for Windows to tell it, that it's installed.

Do a fresh install of Windows 11. Upgrading is a terrible idea. BAD @Flex (Blaps)

Nonsense.

Windows almost always has two releases based on history. A kak one then a better more refined version..

I'm fairly certain (I speak without any prior research so mostly speaking out of my ass) but I'm fairly certain that windows will make a better version, probably a version 12 or something.

When they released windows 8 it was so kak they released windows 10, same with vista and windows 7..

I honestly don't like the new windows (it's obviously a preference thing) but I've tried using it for a whole 15 minutes to realize that I'm not a fan..

I agree that this guy needs help fixing his bios load up, but I wouldn't do it to install windows 11.

but to get back to what you said, it's probably nonsense yes..

1. No
2. Don't know

I'm using a Ryzen 5 5600 and Ryzen 5 3600 perfectly fine with Windows 11.
