Question New AMD Windows 11 prep-list

[Paul Anderegg]

Wanting to make sure I don't overlook anything.

New MB, first boot into BIOS and activate TMP functions, and force boot to the USB attached Windows 11 install USB drive.

For the system SSD, it is an NVME from another Windows 11 PC that I "deleted" so it appears in Disk Manager but has not been formatted...this is how the installer would want it to move forward with formatting for install? The disk is already GPT from the old PC, and it is a PCIE 3.0 970 EVO so I may also need to set it to x4 in the BIOS?

Other than that, anything I am forgetting? It is a TUF B650M with 7600X, so if there are any ready made BIOS change suggestions that are pretty standard I can do them before I install Windows.

Shouldn’t need to mess with anything in bios before installing windows. Boot to usb and install.

Install went fine, but the thing I forgot was to set it to UEFI for boot mode!
