1. Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P version 1.0 with latest F12 BIOS, Phenom II X4 830, 8GB RAM, USB mouse/keyboard, and 1GB Seagate SATA HDD. No other device connected to MA770T-UD3P.

2. Windows 11 (24H2) LTSC 26100.7462 (x64) on USB drive using Rufus with MBR/BIOS, remove requirement for 4GB+ RAM, Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, remove requirement for an online Microsoft account, disable data collection, and disable bitlocker settings.

3. Boot with Windows 11 LTSC USB drive. Shows blue Windows 11 logo on monitor. At this time, data is pulled from the USB drive for about 1 minute then the PC reboot.

4. Boot with Windows 10 LTSC USB drive. No problem installing windows using MA770T-UD3P board.

Attempted to install several versions of Windows 11 LTSC using USB drive. Same reboot issue with this MA770T-UD3P board. The same Windows 11 LTSC USB drive works with a Dell Optiplex 7010 running A29 BIOS.

I suspect the issue is related to the MA770T-UD3P V1.0 F12 BIOS. Has anyone found a way to install Windows 11 on this board?

TIA

The processor lacks the sse4.2 instruction that Windows 11 24h2 and later versions require. You will never be able to install Windows 11 24h2 or later.

Edit: Try windows 11 23h2.

    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to mechanical deterioration this PC has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

The OP wants to run Windows 11, I listed their only available 23H2 options.

They've already said that they can install W10 LTSC, but that's not what they want.
