I recently had my power supply go out and it was replaced. Then the SSD died, so I purchased a new WD Blue 1tB drive, a UEFI. I booted and went into the bios to try to set it to look at a USB port to re-install windows, a purchased win11 home OS and of course it came on a USB stick.. . The motherboard is an Asus 77 series. I do not have a manual for it, the computer was built a few years ago.
I could not get it to see a USB port in bios. I also set it to UEFI thinking that since the new boot drive was no longer legacy, that would be necessary. Now my computer seems to be bricked. Is there a way to go re-set the CMOS or something? This a computer I built several years ago, so not the latest and greatest at all. Should I just get a new motherboard or can this be re-set somehow? I need some advice
from guys more experienced in resolving this than I am. Before I start buying parts to up grade.
Also what all is involved in moving to Linux? Not a big fan of Microsoft.
