Please upgrade the BIOS first so that there are fewer issues for upgrading Windows.

Either order may work.




For an in place upgrade repair the iso can be installed on the desktop or on a flash drive or both.

The flash drive has the added advantage for Windows Recovery Environment (RE).

If you've not already started upgrading the BIOS choose F13 instead of F15b.


I'm heading to bed and will catch up sometime tomorrow.

Please comment about the BIOS and Windows upgrades.

If the Windows upgrade is successful that will complete the troubleshooting.

If there are Windows 11 upgrade error messages or codes run setupdiag: SetupDiag - Windows Deployment

BTW went on BIOS to enable Secure Boot, I got this message:

Now you can wipe the 465GB drive and use it for storage if you want.

You could delete it to unallocated space and make 2 partitions on it, 1 for some images and 1 for Data

But you will have to see if windows boots on it`s own with Disk 2 unplugged.

Just to add to what Ghot stated...

Note that if you enable CSM you are enabling legacy support. That is the whole point of CSM - Compatibility Support Module. If at all possible, especially with a clean install, I would suggest turning off CSM unless you have hardware that absolutely requires it. However, you will be fine having it on - you are still running in UEFI mode, you are simply adding legacy support into the mix by enabling the CSM.
For the record, you can have CSM enabled or disabled and STILL get use UEFI. Been there, done that. For the most part, CSM will generally affect the GPU (If a GPU does not support UEFI, CSM will need to be enabled as it supports legacy (non-UEFI GPU's).

However enabling/disabling will not affect the ability of the OS to be installed in UEFI mode. Again, been there, done that. That said, I am running my system with CSM disabled since my GPU supports UEFI, and I use Secure Boot (also requires CSM to be disabled). My OS is also in UEFI mode.

1) Enable your TPM. Note that this would only apply if you purchased and plugged in a TPM module. You would know if you did this!
2) In lieu of #1, enable the Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT). This is described on the same page. Basically, this is a firmware implementation of the TPM and can be used in place of a physical TPM.
Whether you bought a TPM module, or the system has firmware built in (PTT), you may still need to enable it as many boards featuring firmware TPM (built in TPM aka PTT) have it disabled by default. All 3 of my Gigabyte motherboards I bought featuring PTT is off by default in the BIOS.

Unfortunately this has cause massive confusion with many buying something (TMP module) they already have but don't know it because the feature is usually off by default in the BIOS.

Now, this last point may be a sticking point. Normally, I would also tell you to enable "Secure Boot" in your UEFI firmware, but I don't see any reference to it in the user guide. I guess that you will just need to see what happens without any such option.
The feature "may" appear only if CSM is disabled. On my Gigabyte Z390 (shown in my system specs), the "Secure Boot" option won't be shown unless CSM is disabled as shown in my BIOS screen shots below...

CSM enabled (no Secure boot option)...

CSM-Enabled.jpg

CSM enabled (Secure Boot option shown)...

CSM-Disabled.jpg

Also notice you still have to ability to install the OS in UEFI mode as shown by the attached USB drive (UEFI).
