Yes that's the one. Asus supply two modules confusingly. One with a keyed pin at the end and one with a keyed pin two from the end.

@swarfega I hope you can purchase it from Amazon.ca. Some online stores are weird
Can you see it on Amazon.ca? Still showing available.

Yes they're showing available but they're much more expensive than here. $59 for one! For Amazon Spain its €22. but out of stock.

Hold on, why is the mobo failing the requirements? TPM isn't an issue with that board.

I don't know, it was fine previously. This is my B550 we're talking about not the x570.

The B550 is fine.

BTW I took your image out of the first post as it had your email in it.

Did you run any of the compatibility scripts?

Just ran it and here is the results.

So you just need to find secure boot in your bios and turn it on.

Yea the trouble is I dual boot with Manjaro and it wont boot with secure boot enabled. However I have found a page of instructions.

Crazy prices for sure

Did you try to clean install 160 as I don't have Secure boot on either and it installed it fine as an update. I wondered when they would enforce secure boot

I havent yet, I was planning to clean install 11 when it was released.

I tried following the Linux instructions to make it allow secure boot but something must've gone wrong as it doesn't like it and gives an error message.

I am not sure what to do when 11 is released, whether to continue dual booting or give my second machine over to 11.

You may need to do a fresh Linux install.

Can't you just install it in a VM?
That's how I use Ubuntu, just don't use Hyper-V if you need sound.

I will wait until it's had its real test by all the non enthusiasts before I trust it with my day to day needs.

I have it running on a Hyper-V VM but it has issues running as I use 4K 32Bit HDR monitors and either end up with a small 1920x1080 screen in the centre of my monitor or a screen so big I can't see the edges, including the Taskbar .

I think it's just an issue with the VM not understanding the monitors, but I've found an old 256 GB SSD I can fit into my caddy and run it native and see what happens

I'd rather have it on bare metal, as it's backed up to my NAS. It's a fair amount of work to get Linux to how you want it.

You could just drop everything you need for the VM into a partition or two and include the partitions in your backups
