This was the problem. The Sata power cable had different pin alignment. I found the cables that came with this case and it works. Thanks.

After I posted, I realized what that plug was. I plugged it into the 850w PSU. But when I pressed power, the mobo flashed, and then after a couple seconds, only the ram rgb lights up. I tried several times. When I unplugged the cord, everhthing worked. I did it all again, and same...

I installed some Thermalright TL-C12C-S X3 CPU Fan 120mm in addition to the built-in fans. I cannot seem to get the case fans running. I was just playing Arma Reforger 4k and the fans aren't moving. (The cpu air cooler is working). I have messed with the BIOS and Armoury Crate but I think I...

This was it. I overlooked the option to install without a key. It is currently installing in my new SSD. Thanks!

I built the pc myself and have upgraded varipus parts since about 2014.

In the other thread you said there weren't different versions of Windows I could buy. As you can probably tell, I am not knowledgeable with computers. I might have misunderstood you but chat GPT confirms there are different versions. Upgrade vs OEM vs New Build. You also said I was...

The newer one.

I saw a pop-up a couple weeks ago that my windows 10 support was about to lapse and I thought it linked me to a purchase page. I was under the impression that Windows 11 upgrade was not free for me. But to the direct issue, I cannot access my SSD any longer that has windows 10 installed...

*I posted this issue in Storage forum but I think this may be a MOBO issue* Tl;dr: I removed my SSD. I then reinstalled it. The SSD is listed in BIOS as a storage item. Flash BIOS shows me the contents of the drive (so it isnt corrupted). It won't let me choose that SSD to boot from. I've...

That is what I tried. I removed all drives, because I wanted to put them in my new PC. I installed a 500GB SSD into this PC. I downloaded the windows install onto a USB and booted from that. That's when I realized the key I bought was for a Windows 11 UPGRADE, not a fresh install key...

"This PC doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11" This is why I reinstalled the SSD, so it would recognize Windows 10 and the upgrade key would work. But, again, it won't let me boot from the tb ssd.

Well, I can no longer get past BIOS. Windows usb installer says the key is good but then it says " This PC doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11" My PC: CASE: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced ATX Full Tower MOBO: MSI MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK LGA 1200 Intel Z490 SATA...

I took out my hard drives (one had windows 10 installed). I installed a new ssd. I tried to install windows 11 with a usb and a key but then i realized the key is an "upgrade", not a fresh install key. I reinstalled several ssds, not sure which one had windows installed. But now, even...
