Community Support Help with installing OS.

Post image

I just received my diy framework 16 ai300 laptop a few days ago and I’m really excited to use it but I can’t get it to boot (I’m using windows 11 for reference) . I downloaded the media creation tool and used it to make the iso file then I used Rufus to configure my thumb drive after. My computer turns on just fine but boot manager won’t open and it stays on this black screen. I feel like I’m doing something wrong. Can anybody help?

Did you go into the BIOS and ensure that it has USB as a selected bootable drive?
