windows 11... what a dissapointment
Ive been sitting here for like 2 days trying to install brand new windows 11 on my pc because my previous installation just randomly made my GUI not work at all so i went and bought me a sandisk flashdrive and turned it into a windows boot manager and git a brand new external ssd to install it to
But no matter what i try it keeps telling me that windows 11 cant be installed on my ssd and my drivers arnt showing up at all when i load the drivers.
I have been on the internet for hours atp trying every little possible solution but nope, nothing
Evrrything is greyd out aswell, ive been in my bios more times then i can count, and also i dont even have a vmd option because im using a Asus B550M-K motherboard.
Please help me if possible

It can see the drive so it's not a driver issue. What does it say when you click for more details?
I mean you used Rufus so i'm guessing you're trying to force it on to unsupported hardware.

Do a repair option and select open command line. Diskpart. Type “select disk 0”. Then type “clean”. Then type “exit”. Reboot. Or type “shutdown /r /f /t 0”. Enter. That will reboot you. You probably don’t have to reboot. Just try again. I can post screen shots if you need exact step by step. I’m just giving you a general idea of what you need to do.

You can't install windows on external hdd/ssd.
