    Hello all!

    Just finished building my new system (Corsair MP700 M.2 as main drive), AMD 7650X CPU, Asus ROG STRIX X870E-E mobo, & Asus TUF 4070 Super OC video card. Right now, ALL I have in the system is the M.2 drive - which is recognized by the BIOS (but NOT as a BOOT device, as it's not formatted), and my DVD drive.

    I'm using this Win11 disk (from UPP) -
    26100.2605.241206-1409.GE_RELEASE_SVC_PROD1_CLIENTPRO_OEMRET_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO

    For some reason, the MULTI I built (the same way), won't boot -
    26100.2605.241206-1409.GE_RELEASE_SVC_PROD1_CLIENTMULTI_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO

    And I was advised to use this version by one user, then told NOT to use it (because of the N version) by another user -
    Win_Pro_11_24H2.2_x64_Eng_Intl_Pro_Ent_EDU_N_MLF_X23-92021.ISO

    When it goes to install, it says Windows can't be installed on the system, but it does not provide any reason why - just that it doesn't meet system requirements (there is no current internet connection, maybe that's why, I don't know).

    I tried a 3rd disc that I had created earlier, it it a multi-install - tried Edu Pro and got the same message.

    I've no idea what "requirement" it is looking for :-(

    Any ideas, or a specific image that will allow me to boot, partition, & format? Ideally, I'd like to end up using the Education Pro version, as I understand it's the "best" option, but the Enterprise or Pro version would do.

    Thanks!!!!!

    UPDATE: Well, I guess it had something to do with the BIOS & TPM. I updated the BIOS, that got enabled, and now it's installing :)
