Upgrading to Windows 11

Got a lot done today but one huge hangup was trying to upgrade my main rig to Windows 11. Been struggling for weeks now, but I think I found the problem.

First off the things I did that probably didn’t help

  • Removed all uneeded USB devices
  • Removed all unneeded PCI devices
  • sfc /scannow
  • Did a memory check.

It is that last step that kind of got me pointed to the right direction. The memcheck I had supported UEFI but I noticed my BIOS has CSM enabled. As I post, I am trying another upgrade but this time in UEFI mode.

A google search says CSM should be powered off.

I am posting on an alternate machine, but I should see if the upgrade is done and will be back to posting on my main machine tomorrow.
