[SOLVED] How to fix boot in bios

[Elijahc123]

Ok so when I load into my bios I’m on biostar motherboard and in boot option#1 it shows windows boot manager (SATA1)
When it should be PNY CS900 500GB SSD

No. It SHOULD be Windows boot manager.

No. It SHOULD be Windows boot manager.

But before when I reinstalled windows is was my ssd

Windows 8.1 and 10 systems, when installed in full UEFI mode (Which is what you want) should ALWAYS show and use Windows boot manager as the primary boot device. Some legacy installations that are not in full UEFI mode might show a specific drive as the primary boot device but that is not the desired configuration, and honestly will result in the device not even booting at all unless it is a legacy, non-UEFI installation. If you had the SSD showing up as the primary boot device before, it's because you had a legacy installation at that time. Having the UEFI installation is MUCH preferred and is the correct way for it to be done.

Only boots from Windows Boot Manager

I bought a dedicated server and installed Windows 10(I have my reasons) on it with KVM. The support staff has burned my .iso in a USB drive and I used to do the installation. But the problem is although I've installed the Windows on the server's HDD, it'll only boot to Windows if I select...

Ok so my problem is that secure boot is enabled but when I check in system information it says off but I enabled it in my bios secure tab (biostar)

also when I want to save and exit is says save changes and reset

When secure boot is enabled you can ONLY perform a full UEFI installation. Legacy modes are not supported when secure boot is enabled and like I said, you don't want it the other way anyhow. I would recommend you simply leave it as is.

Just install W10/11 with BIOS in UEFI mode (CSM/Legacy turned off). For less hassle disconnect all other drives temporarily.

If it is enabled in the BIOS, and stays enabled when you go back and check after leaving the BIOS and saving your settings, then it is enabled. Windows system information is probably just misreading the information. Windows isn't always right about a lot of things.

More importantly, as of right now Windows 11 is not ready for prime time anyhow AND there really is nothing it offers that Windows 10 doesn't offer other than a changed start menu and some different visuals. I wouldn't bother with it until AT LEAST the first fully stable version gets released and probably not for a little while after that, if at all. I certainly wouldn't use the current beta release on any primary daily driver system. Maybe on a VM on a primary system or on a backup system, but not as my main device.

Alright thank you I’m good now

[SOLVED] - Satellite S55 C compatible TPM chip.

Have a Satellite S55 C series and on trying to update to Win.11 realized it has no TPM but found out it could possibly be installed, Does anybody know if there would be a compatible chip for this equipment??
