    You forgot the part where you have to dig into the motherboard’s software to enable Windows 11.

    I love building PCs but it’s simple until it’s not.

      My last build involved nearly losing everything on my RAID5 array.

      The discs were set up without partitions, which isn’t recommended, but some guides STILL show it that way, and the new motherboard was like, “Eh, I’ll fix that for you…here’s a new partition table!” Fortunately I was able to recover it, and I rebuilt the array to use disc partitions. But for a few days there, I was nearly in a panic.

      That was almost two years ago now, still using it! And making sure my backups are working.
