You'll need an update, X299 Creator BIOS, now working
Day One,Was moving from an MSI Creation MB to this one since mine stopped working. Put my drives in (raid config 0) and it recognized the raid setup although stated that it failed.Day Two:Tried to install windows on a separate drive and Windows 11 installation stated 'not ready for windows 11'.One might think a 'renewed' MB would have the latest bios right? Nope.Off to the MSI website: obtained the latest bios for the X299 Creation and it was not recognized when using the bios flash feature. Searched on the web and found out the bios that was installed is for an X299 MSI 'CREATOR' motherboard. Completed a web search for the 'Creator' version and found the bios update on the MSI website (not found when selecting the product through the 'Creation' product page / support.Still find it interesting that the motherboard has 'CREATION' stamped on it.Installed the 'CREATOR' bios update and the Windows 11 install stopped complaining (TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot turned on).So I'm of the mind that this MB screwed up my raid 0 setup with the very old bios and/or being a 'Creator' as opposed to 'Creation'. Pretty annoying.Feedback to 'renewed' workers... update the BIOS . (lettering in the BIOS file will give away which one to install 'Creation' or 'Creator' BIOS)

Best motherboard for gaming & professional options with tremendous future expansion capability!
The highest quality parts & capabilities in a motherboard, except for not having a 10G ethernet. 2.5 is OK, but for the money, 10G should be a sure thing.
