So, here are some findings and wanting to get some feedback on possible causes.
After a lot of weirdness with the Windows 10 Pro update process I finally got it updated to v22H2
Applied the latest patches and such and have the BIOS and Drivers updated to the latest.
Specs are as follows:
Threadripper 2950X CPU
64GB of Corsair DDR4-3200 running at default of 2133 for the time being
ASUS x399-E Gaming Mobo
AMD Radeon VII GPU
Samsung 840 NVMe SSD (main boot drive)
Samsung 2TB SATA SSD
Corsair 240MB SATA SSD
Issues now is that I can’t get Windows 11 installed without it generating a Driver PNP Watchdog error message.
So resetting and the Windows 11 setup reverted back to my current version of Windows 10 Pro.
I did confirm that the system met the requirements and even the TPM settings were enabled in the BIOS and seemed to be supported.
My question would be IF maybe one or both of those SATA storage devices is causing a problem and if I can just disable them within the BIOS ?
But really I maybe looking at just replacing the machine as I thought I would be using all those I/O lanes but have found I really didn’t need them for my use.
I would be better off just getting the mainstream AM5 platform with a 7950x or waiting until Zen5 releases to see what is available then.
I think doing a new/fresh install of Windows 11 on a new NVMe storage device would be ideal in this case and then copying over any data I need from the old NVMe storage device.
Thoughts ?
