This pc can't run Windows 11

[=XDC=FluphyBunny]

So ive just built my new pc.

Gigabyte z690 board
I5 12600KF

Same setup here.

I had to q flash the BIOS to F6A. Once that was done windows update recognised my system as W11 ready*

A note: the windows BIOS app in Gigabyte App Centre does not give the option of downloading the latest BIOS version.


*I now sadly have this:

Great news—your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Windows 11. Specific timing for when it will be offered can vary as we get it ready for you.

Its Alder Lake, it needs W11 to work correctly!

I finally solved my problem. My hdd wouldn't work in the cpu lane. Only southbridge! I had to download a intel driver and add driver at the drive options page of Windows setup. Then Windows finally sees my drive in the cpu lane.

The more amusing one is people slating Windows 7 on the one hand including how it looks, but then you find them using all kinds of 3rd party software to make 10//1 look and behave like 7..............

My current machine still using 7 lol, new PC wont be though.
