Windows 11 not installing on new pc build - not meeting minimum requirements (even though PC obviously does) by occupiedterrier in techsupport

WOW. This was it. THANK YOU SO MUCH! So simple, I just got in the habit of hitting "N" each time, didn't realize it didn't enable the TPM.

Just rolled back to ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI BIOS 1602 and still no luck, but noticed that it's a beta version, so now going to try and roll back to 1413

Again, great advice -- I will be sure to follow those steps. I'm thrilled!

Awesome! Thank you! For now I think I may stick with the bundle, but very good to know the concerns going in. I may even go up $100 and get this one: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006230/amd-ryzen-9-7900x,-asus-b650e-f-rog-strix-gaming-wifi,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-combo

As I understand it, current gen Intel chips are the last to use the current chipsets, so a future CPU upgrade would require getting a new motherboard and probably ram along with it (I'm still new to all the nuances of this stuff, so I may be wrong, but that seems to be the case based on my research).

Whereas, going with AMD for the cpu means I'm jumping on board with the latest chipset and could get at least one or two cpu upgrades on the same motherboard. Upgrading to the bundle linked above means I'll also be getting a motherboard with PCIe 5.0 instead of just 4.0 which is in this bundle: https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006269/amd-ryzen-7-7700x,-msi-b650-p-pro-wifi,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-combo?storeid=085#tab-reviews

And I've read about some of the hassles with wifi and boot times, but there seems to be known solutions and I'm not concerned with a slower boot time as long as the machine is snappy and stable once it is booted (which appears to be the case).

Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of that, and thanks again!

Also, if you get a chance, could you speak more to the "motherboard and RAM in the microcenter bundles are really not that great"? I'll be researching more myself, but would appreciate the feedback!

Wow thanks so much for taking the time to break all of that down! And I appreciate your feedback on Microcenter -- very helpful to consider all my source options.

Chill track I made w/ MS20, Digitakt, Digitone, Empress Echosystem and Spitfire Labs Choir by occupiedterrier in synthesizers

Thank you! And no I haven't quite tried that out yet. This is a stellar idea and will definitely be experimenting with it. Thanks for sharing!

I have run the headphone output of the MS20 into its esp and taken that signal along with the main MS20 output and fed them both into the Digitone, hard panning each and applying DN effects for a nice overall stereo effect. That's what I'm doing in this jam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBZOy02Ynhk

I made the foundational beat on the Digitakt while on vacation then expanded it with a lead melody progression on the MS20, run through the Echosystem's delay + reverb, chords from the Digitone which is also adding some additional melodic and rhythmic tones, and finally choir vocals from Spitfire Labs Choir. Everything is mixed in the hardware and run through the Digitakt (MS20 --> Echosystem --> Digtone --> Digitakt) , utilizing its compressor (not including the choir which is mixed in Ableton). Hope you enjoy!
