I am trying to update my BIOS to update from Win10 to Win11. My MoBo will not do so but ASUS says it will. I am 85 and not the least bit of a Geek. My first computer was Commadore 64 all others were built for me. I downloaded ASUS EZ Update but it disappeared so I downloaded AI Suite 3 and updated (online) with it, but I did not know that I should look at the BIOS to see what the Tech changed when he assembled my computer. I followed ASUS’s advice and pushed F5 To set everything to default. I tried to get it set for Win11 and failed. [Settings>>> Windows Update] says that I still do not meet the minimum requirements.
I also had other problems. Next, I downloaded “PRIME Z390-A BIOS 2004” and flashed it off one of my HHD’s but still cannot update to Win 111. My BIOS is setup with; TPM 2, Secure boot is on, CSM enabled - - Device Control = UEFI & Legacy OPROM, OS Type = Windows UEFI Mode, and it is not ready for Win11 yet. I very seldom go into my Adim user profile. Guess what I found in it. ASUS must think I am a geek.
Under the “Drivers and Tools” ASUS has updates for the LAN and Chipset I haven’t got those though I expect that I should do so. I have yet to download the MEUdateTool also.
This BIOS has Thunderbolt; What are the pro's and con's of enabling it
Items that I cannot answer, and I have tried; Is the BIOS setup property for the SHGP-31-!00GB SSD? Also, is the BIOS setup OK for the DDR4 memory? I spent a lot of time search for to see if these are setup correctly and have not succeeded.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
