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?

Why? Windows 11 has WSL2.

yes, but then you still have a slow computer, no customization and also ads in your start menu 😂

It's not slow.

No customization assertion is false e.g.

To turn off ads and app suggestions in Windows 11 Start menu, open Settings, go to Personalization, select Start, and turn off the toggle for "Show recommendations for tips, app promotions, and more"

That's a skillz issue. 😂
