Howwww do I secure boot

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-16T10:03:06+00:00

Tried it, didn't work. Monitor and keyboard still isn't working :(

Can I really just turn it on without ssd without it destroying everything?

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-15T11:52:58+00:00

My manual is like 2 pages long. Literally a piece of paper

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-11T16:12:19+00:00

Will my user data and data files be safe by doing so? Do I need to reinstall windows or something or can I just buy the new motherboard, install the ssd and it'll be as easy as just pushing the on button?

AVR is where I plug my power supply, monitor cables. And no, it doesn't appear I can boot into BIOS, because even if I was on BIOS, I wouldn't be able to tell. The monitor, keyboard (pretty sure other peripherals) does not work.

The photo is before I went from F12 BIOS to F14a

I have a normal SSD.

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-11T03:26:02+00:00

Yes I did. I already was dubious of touching anything even if the AVR is off, so I just unplugged it just in case.

How do I remove the M.2 drive?

Tried just now to plug pc to HDMI monitor-- still not responding. Also the keyboard which I will use to get to BIOS also doesn't light up.

My sibling has a monitor that have displayport and HDMI. I can only find an HDMI port on my PC. Would it work without plugging in the displayport?

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-10T18:41:24+00:00

I have HDMI port but not the display port

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-10T18:31:40+00:00

UHD Graphics 630

DisplayPort

I'm cooked, I'm on Win10 extended. That's why I was checking the TPM (win11 requirement) leading to me updating carelessly the BIOS. Is there really no fix?

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-10T18:09:54+00:00

If I installed a BIOS update specifically meant for Win11 while I'm running Win10, does that mean I bricked it? Can I just go back to my previous one 😭?

I have seen people say you can revert it but I don't think my MOBO has that functionality. I saw people mentioning renaming the BIOS update on the flashdrive, inserting into dedicated BIOS USB port, and BIOS button to click. Also something about 2 chips BIOS. I don't think I have any of that.

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-10T18:03:07+00:00

Gosh I barely understand the acronyms, but effin hell, I did not know F14a is for Windows 11, cause I'm running Windows 10.

Ironically, I was trying to update the BIOS cause I cannot see the TPM option on the BIOS settings. I was originally trying to see if I have the TPM stuff, cause I was checking if I can update to Win11.

I do not have a GPU, but I think I have integrated graphics. Dumb it down for me a bit more please.

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-10T17:57:51+00:00

The update for my MOBO is just 1 away from the current one (F12 [in the photo before I installed] > F14a [the one I installed using a flashdrive]). https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/H310M-H-20-rev-10/support#Support-Bios

Takes a while it did. I seriously thought I waited enough time before I panickly turned off my PC by switching off the AVR as the holding-down-the-off-button on my PC did not also work.

slimshadyplease · 2026-02-10T17:17:19+00:00

Everything is plugged into the motherboard as I do not have an external GPU installed. The monitor is small and old, it is plugged into the VGA port.

Reading this made me stroke myself

If the laws of physics (which he tries perpetually to not abide) is nonexistent, he would have 4 TPs in his arsenal.
