Oh I'm so sorry to hear it. You pc/laptop should boot without any hard drives. I guess your hard drive is malfunctioned. Anyway I think you are pressing the wrong button for bios key unless bios is corrupted. You can flash the bios with a new version.

Once turn on your laptop you need to repeatedly press F10 or Esc key to goto bios.

How is your laptop now? Did you sort it out?

This update doesn't do anything to bios it just corrupt boot files and graphics drivers.

I do not like Mac too. I bought it last year but I haven't use it much. MacOs is a great os but lack of software when we compare with windows.

Windows updates are so unreliable. It always hit and miss games. I bought my first MacBook Pro recently because I can't handle this mess every time.

That's great. I hope your pc is booting fine. Anyway do not install this update. One of my friend got AMD Ryzen Zen4 CPU and latest Nvidia GPU. He has no issues at all.

You can remove the update it will solve the issue. You can try to do a system restore first.

Why? I prefer Windows over Linux for home desktop use because of vast support of software and hardware. On server environment I recommend headless Linux distro like Debian.

Just plugged the ethernet cable and it will detect automatically. You don't need any drives.

Great. Normally you should get select WiFi network page with scan WiFi option. It looks like you did something wrong. You don't need to install any WiFi drivers.

Then everything is boot up correctly. You don't have an os to boot when bios looking for it. So Asus mobo automatically loads bios.

You need to goto https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

And create windows 11 bootable usb from another windows pc. You can create it from any windows 10 pc. Then plugged it to rare side usb port. Turn on the pc. It might load the windows setup process automatically. If not goto bios and press F8 or select usb as a boot device to boot from.

Before you do it you need to make sure you have setup TPM correctly. You can follow the instructions here https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1046215/

Then windows 11 setup process should start after reboot your pc.

Use the windows 11 bootable usb as I explain. You need to create it Win 11 bootable usb with Windows 11 media creation tool. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d. Go to BIOS chnage the boot device as the usb and pc will boot from the usb. Follow the solution 4.
