ok. maybe none of you know, which is ok. Asrock support certainly didn't know anything I couldn't google and hadn't tried allready.

Instead I will tell you what I ended up doing.

Windows 10 installed perfectly, first try no special settings, on the right disk and worked with most if not all drivers.

I fixed the rest of the drivers to have a flawless device manager and then I ran the Windows 11 installer from the usb directly from within Windows 10 and then it ran through perfectly. So now I have Windows 11 and have moved on.]]> Wed, 21 Jan 2026 05:21:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113432&PID=200822&title=b860-proa-windows-11-installation-issues#200822 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113432&PID=200788&title=b860-proa-windows-11-installation-issues#200788 Author: dotmatrix

newest version of bios, 1.27.
have contacted asrock support, not much help there.
windows 10 can also be installed on the nvme drive in m2_1 slot
I have tried running the windows 11 installer with the bios set to defaults, won't install]]> Sun, 11 Jan 2026 03:49:41 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113432&PID=200788&title=b860-proa-windows-11-installation-issues#200788 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=113432&PID=200786&title=b860-proa-windows-11-installation-issues#200786 Author: dotmatrix

Hi. new user here. I have a problem with my new PC build and I would be very happy if you could help me.

Hardware:
- G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DDR5 SDRAM 48GB kit CL40 On-die ECC DIMM 288-PIN (F5-8000J4048F24GX2-TZ5RW)
- INTEL Core Ultra 5 245KF 6+8 Kerne 4.2 GHz Sockel LGA-1851 CPU Boxed (ohne Kühler) (BX80768245KF)
- Asrock B860 Pro-A Intel B860 LGA 1851 (Socket V1) ATX (B860 Pro-A)
- PSU MWE Bronze V3 750W (MPE-7501-ACABW-3BEU)
- Asus GT1030-SL-2G-BRK graphics
- Kingston NV3 M.2 NVMe Gen 4 internal SSD (500GB)
- Kingston SA400 960gb SATA ssd drive

I'm trying to install Windows 11 on either drive.
- When the drives are visible on the simple front page of the bios.
- Both setup with empty gpt partitions.
- when running the windows 10 installer it sees the drives and I can install windows 10 on the sata ssd at least
- when running the windows 11 installer it cannot see the drives initially
- after loading the correct driver it sees the drives in both diskpart, they can be accessed via cmd and the "browse for device driver" window but the windows 11 installer does not want to continue.

I have tried a lot of different bios settings.
disabling VMD
global mapping
disabling secure boot
all sort of things

why does the standard windows 11 installer on a bootable usb build with the newest windows media cration tool not want to install?

any help is much appreciated.
thanks in advance
