    17:50 Extra tip: After you kill that splash screen, go into Settings > System > Notifications and scroll to the bottom and find (It may be under Additional Settings depending on your version) a checkbox that says something like "Show the Windows welcome experience after updates yadda yadda" and then "Get tips and suggestions when using Windows" and untick both of them. This ensures (probably depending on how much you believe microsoft will honor their own settings) that you don't get prompted to buy Office 365 or Game Pass or whatever other bs they want to upsell you.

    Maybe it's the almost undetectable hint of rage and sarcasm accrued from years of this hobby that we all know too well. Maybe it's the fact that every scientific aspect of what he is doing is explained so thoroughly as he sardonically mocks the entire PC industry and their greed.

    This guide is missing something that is a "feature" of Windows 11. Please upvote this so other people see it!! (Hopefully Jay sees it also)
    Windows 10 used to notify you of "Optional Updates" on the main updates page, which can include important driver updates. Windows 11 has buried this in the Updates menu.
    To find it go to Settings > Windows Update > Advanced Options. About halfway down the screen you'll see "Additional options" and under that is "Optional updates"

    Tip: At 14:00, you can proceed to connect to a network. When prompted for a Microsoft account, you can enter "user" as the email and a random letter as the password. After pressing enter, the process will fail and prompt you to create an offline account. You can then continue to follow the setup process. This works for both Windows 10 and 11.

    Just completed my first PC build with the help of your guide. It went swimmingly. BIOS flashed, Windows and drivers and all that jazz updated, XMP enabled, monitor at 240Hz, and a Windows local admin account where I haven't been forced to log in with my Microsoft account. Ran several benchmarks and zero crashes. Now I just need to see about tuning my fan curves and getting the rest of my data transferred from my old PC. Thank you!

    Hey guys, I have to thank you so much. Just finished my first build and I have to say I relied heavily on you and Austin Evans to get it done. I also have to say when it came to the nitty gritty of everything, you were the MAN!!! I don’t know if I ever would have gotten through all of the downloads and updates and needed programs if it wasn’t for you.
    Thank you again!!!

    3:50 most of the time it shouldn't matter, but it's a good practice to check the manufacturer's manual first. I had a lot crashes, BSODs a L O T of memory issues with an ASRock B550 because I didn't read the manual and installed the RAM sticks on A1/B1. After changing to A2/B2 as the manual stated, everything went smoothly.

I upgraded from a intel i5 3470 that I built in 2012 with a buddy to a Ryzen 7700. Now I have to save up for the gpu.

    One thing to mention is installing all your motherboard and chipset drivers. I go into device manager and ensure all devices are recognized. Usually unrecognized devices are motherboard drivers in my experience. Recently I also had issues with my intel Wi-Fi cards needing a driver as well to recognize the bluetooth capability.

    Fun additional note, if you are using ethernet, you will need to unplug your ethernet cable first. Otherwise windows will reboot back into non-bypass mode if it detects an internet connection, instead of letting you proceed without an account.

  • @Iamkaden

    Great guide Jay! I’m a seasoned veteran when it comes to building PCs, but I love watching these types of videos anyway. 🔥
    This is also making me want to checkout BIOS updates for my board. If there’s anything useful or important, I might just want to update it. But I’m also the same way as you, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. Still worth checking though, since it’s been years.

    My friend told me that setting up and building my own pc is way more complicated since I am not good with technology and had said the wiring parts, with connecting it all up together would be difficult for me. I spent 2 and a half hours looking at people building their own pc’s for the first time, I always see they cut the screen time down. So I wondered what do you do then, do you just set it up and go on downloading the things you want? Then I saw this video, I decided to watch it, I was confused on some parts, but going through it a few times made it more clear to me. This was easy to comprehend even when I am lost with technology. This has been the most helpful and educational experience I have had from a video in my own personal aspects. Thank you for clearing this up and doing a video as educational as this. This has really helped me come to a more understanding of what to do. And is helping me with my choices of building my own pc.

    13:48 You can still connect it to the internet, then select "Setup for work or School". When it asks for the Microsoft account, go into sign-in options and use "Domain join instead". This lets you set up a local account while Windows goes through and starts with parts of updates.

    11:50 if you need to know what disk is what. You can open the command prompt during install and run diskpart. Then select a disk and run detail on it. It will tell you some additional identifying information about the disk. Which may make it easy to figure out which disk is which. As long you don't have multiples of the same disk

    I can usually fit the BIOS firmware update on the same USB stick the windows boot installer is on; it's not like BIOS images are very big even on a small 8GB drive. Just slap it on the root of the USB drive, and you're good to go. You may also have enough room to put recent drivers for your GPU, motherboard chipset, and whatever other devices you're planning on using.

I couldn’t load WiFi drivers on the motherboard during first boot in spite of loading the drivers on the flash drive. This bypass method helped me to move forward. ❤

      I heard of customers PC builds a few months ago, but I didn’t really pay them much attention. Then a few weeks ago, it came to my attention that I needed a new PC. I been using a MacBook Pro for the last 5-6 years. But it was very limiting from the programs I wanted to use and the games I wanted to play. So in the last 3 weeks, I learned all about the main components to a gaming PC/PC’s in general, and I also built my VERY FIRST gaming PC. In a little over 2 of these last 3 weeks, I educated myself fully on all the main components, what they are, and how they work. Then in the last week I just finished building it 😎
      As I type this, I’m sitting at my desk finishing my necessary software installs. This whole process has been super enjoyable, satisfying, and definitely worth it! 💯 👍

    I'd also say, make sure your windows install sets up guid partition table to enable BAR, e.g. if using intel ARC GPUs. As I found having mbt partitions results in lots of head scratching when BAR causes crashes if you don't already know to do that.
