Both machines do it, and, only once macOS starts up, OC picker, etc., start normal then as macOS loads and takes over it stops. Both have new wD970 M2 installations. One is running nvmefix and one is not. Both exhibit the weird disk activity LED ... side note how are you testing disk speeds on the macOS drive. If i try to run BlackMagic it won't let me use the root drive as it is read only.Might be good to see this:

I've connected the HDD LED jumper on my Z490 board to the LED in the case and it just flashes constantly at about 4Hz. Is this normal? With my old hack it seemed to work normally i.e. accordingly when there was disk activity.www.tonymacx86.com
If we have Windows 10 already installed and everything working, is there an upgrade option? Do we use PTT or TPM, I'm reading PTT may be better? My Windows 10 is currently installed on a .M2 drive and so is my macOS on a separate .m2We can certainly enable TPM (Intel Platform Trust Technology or PTT) in BIOS, then install Windows 11 alongside macOS. It may be a good idea to format the Windows SSD in macOS first as:
Then shutdown, flip power switch to OFF, and physically remove/disconnect all macOS SSDs. Then power up and install Windows 11.
- Name: Windows
- Format: FAT32
- Scheme: GUID Partition Map
Microsoft provides the ability to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 directly within Windows 10. You may be placed on a queue, however, because of the high demand for upgrades.If we have Windows 10 already installed and everything working, is there an upgrade option?

Yes I know that. I'm just wondering if anyone with this setup has done a Windows 10-11 upgrade as well as running the latest macOS and if I will experiencing any issue, also if there is a step-by-step guide, I'm still on 10.15 macOS.Microsoft provides the ability to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 directly within Windows 10.

We must enable PTT for Windows 11.
It may be okay to leave the macOS NVMe SSD plugged in during the Windows upgrade, but it's always safer to physically remove it ahead of time.
Because this is a macOS website, I do not provide any guides for Windows other than how to prevent Windows from interfering with macOS.Yes I know that.

Totally understand, I guess I wasn't asking how to install it, just if anyone has issues after trying all of this. Sorry for the confusion.Because this is a macOS website, I do not provide any guides for Windows other than how to prevent Windows from interfering with macOS.
On the Gigabyte B550 Vision D (AMD Ryzen Processor), I was indeed able to install Windows 11, but I did so on a separate SSD. Windows 11 simply merged its boot loader into the already-existent Windows 10 EFI boot folder.

Good to know info here. Thanks. Have you had a chance to try this on the Designare MB?On the Gigabyte B550 Vision D (AMD Ryzen Processor), I was indeed able to install Windows 11, but I did so on a separate SSD. Windows 11 simply merged its boot loader into the already-existent Windows 10 EFI boot folder. This means:
I described my experience here:
- On AMD motherboards we enable fTPM, but on Intel motherboards we enable PTT.
- Windows 10 SSD has its own EFI partition and hence its own boot loader
- Windows 10 and 11 do not interfere with OpenCore, which is located in the EFI partition of macOS NVMe SSD
- OpenCore shows boot options for macOS and Windows, but not separate options for macOS, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
- This is due to the manner in which Windows 11 merges it boot loader into the pre-existing Windows boot loader.
- When we select Windows from OpenCore, we immediately see a Microsoft boot selector where we can choose between Windows 10 and Windows 11.
- However, if you simply upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11, then you will have a simpler, one-step boot process.

Right, thats what i thought! :)www.tonymacx86.com
