  1. Since bypass nro doesnt work as of 25.08.2024

    %systemroot%System32oobeBypassNRO.cmd should work as well as
    MSOOBE/BYPASSNRO

  2. How do you update your bios if you dont have windows installed to download the bios files?

  3. If u guys have the same issues do u guys know safest way to solve this or do i really need to start all over again with clean install and how can we format our drivers first to gpt b4 installing windows 11 again so that it will save windows files on a gpt format not mbr?

  4. I dont know this drawback after installing windows 11. I just build my new pc and Im on windows 11 now with mbr as default format and if i have to enable uefi i have to disable csm first and to do that i have to reformat my primary drive to gpt first which i still havent tried yet cuz my windows files are all on my primary c drive which mbr format.. suckss. Do i have to do a clean install?and im to afraid to do that know cuz it may cause issues since fucking mbr cant edit my bios to enable or disable this uefi csm fuckers, cant play valorant with windows 11 on mbr format, and i fucking partitioned it i still have no idea what todo with it if i want to unpartition it would it be the one be formated if i convert it to gpt or not? Can u guys help?

  5. During all this Setup Where is your Monitor Plugged in? Into the Onboard Motherboard HDMI or your Graphics Card Display port?

  6. How does he update the bios if you don't have an OS installed? ๐Ÿ˜‰

  7. Another reason to disconnect all other drives during Windows install is that if any of the other drives have/had Windows on them and the boot partition remains on them Windows can end up using the wrong drive to boot the install. I saw this happen where Windows was on a HDD, and a new install on a SSD. It decided to use the boot partition on the HDD to load Windows on the SSD.

  8. Way better than the total mess that is LTT video – this is exactly what folks should do instead of the disjointed and lacking mess LTT badly edited and tried to correct/update which still had bad info in it.

    Well done HC, top tier content creation as always ๐Ÿป

  9. Uhm after i switched the ddr to 3200 and saved and reboot it nothing wont show on my screen what did i do๐Ÿ˜…

  10. why did you activate the igp when you have a dedicated gpu? You're only losing ram and performance

  11. You should use the xml config file for your win10/11 installs. that way you can tell the installtion program to do alot of settings and remove bloatware sonyou dont have to foxnit afterwards

  12. No need to smash Delete key to enter BIOS, just press and hold it.
    I Install ExplorerPatcher utility to make Win11 look and behave like W10.
