      If you are using multiple storage drives, watch a video on how to format the disk. I have 3, m.2 (1TB) and a 1TB ssd, one of the m.2 is the boot drive and the other 3 needed to be formatted.

    Good info here, thanks for the video. I do have a question though and I haven't seen any other tutorials touch on it. Regarding TPM, how do I know if I need to add the extra step of enabling TPM? I imagine I would need to do that in the BIOS prior to beginning the Win 11 installation. I'm still ordering components for my build but to provide context; the MOBO is an Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero paired with a Ryzen 9 5950X.
