ivan:
Did you open the bios and set it to compatibility mode?  Sorry I can't remember where it was in the bios now but that I what I had to do to get ArcaIOS to install and as I said the install was from a DVD because most of the USB are not available until the drivers for them are installed.

If you don't set the bios to compatibility mode nothing except windows will install.

Eugene Tucker:
Ivan CSM is a given on any newer computer that has it. So yes I did. Also Secure boot as well.

ivan:
Secure Boot needs to be <b>off</b> because we don't have the security key necessary to activate it

Secure Boot is completely irrelevant when booting in CSM mode - it is only supported under UEFI. Plus, many BIOS's disable or ignore it when CSM is enabled since CSM violates the Secure Boot protocol.

As far as having a "security key", that too is largely irrelevant for the intrepid user. I'm running an older 5.1 beta under Secure Boot (along with Win11 and Kubuntu) on a UEFI-only machine. Since my version wasn't signed, I created my own keys, signed the UEFI binaries, then enrolled my public key on the machine. I understand that AN is now signing its UEFI binaries and distributing its public key, so this shouldn't be a major issue for most users - when the time comes...

ivan:
That is fine Rich, you are a programmer and know what to do us other poor slobs don't have that knowledge so use what we were told when UEFI came on the scene.  Anyway it worked for me so I am a happy camper.
