For FUCK sakes....
I have a 256GB SATA SSD machine here, that I want to put a fresh install of windows on a 1TB M.2
And NOW is the fucking time windows puts out this fucking Win11 24H2 garbage... that's BSOD'ing peoples computers, having other issues, and now this.

Microsoft has definitely not been a great tenant on dual boot systems over the past year. Usually you get the occasional MBR overwrite, but it’s been pretty bad. Windows has been assuming it’s the only OS.
-
I fixed a windows install for an old guy, and windows patched the BIOS to prevent F11 loading the boot menu....
Never again
-
That seems extremely unlikely. That is controlled by the BIOS itself. Windows Update does deliver BIOS updates, but only as provided by the OEM.
-
BIOS exists no more. It's all UEFI which is controllable from the outside.
-
Technically yes, but most people still say "BIOS" to refer to any system on a PC that fills the same role.
Some true BIOSes are also externally controllable, too, it's not exclusive to UEFI.

Microsoft has incredibly been doing stuff I'd consider unlikely just a decade ago. They're at the point where I go "unlikely but far from impossible. Likely in a while".
