Do you have a question about the 970A-G46 Series and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Can I install windows 11 pro on my SSD, I can't find Secure boot option in my Bios(970A_G46)
The MSI 970A-G46 Series motherboard is based on the AMD 970 & SB950 chipset and does not appear to support Secure Boot, which is a requirement for Windows 11. Additionally, Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0, which this motherboard does not natively support. Without these features, installing Windows 11 Pro may not be officially supported. However, some users bypass these requirements using unofficial methods, but this is not recommended for stability and security reasons.
