My first pc build

[SpyderTracks]

Oh ok how do I do that?

Thanks to @Martinr36 for the guide:

Download a new copy of Windows using the (Second option on linked page) to an 8GB (min) USB. Media Creation Tool
Boot that USB and choose a Custom Install.
Delete all UEFI partitions on the system drive (EFI System, Recovery, MSR Reserved, Primary).
Select the unallocated space that results and click the Next button. The installer will create the correct partitions and install Windows.
Run Windows Update repeatedly, even across reboots, until no more updates are found.
You may need/want to download and install the latest graphics driver from the Nvidia/AMD website (they change so regularly the latest version isn't always in the Windows libraries).

This is also worth a watch

Alright thanks, I don’t have a USB so it’s something I’ll have to buy.

I've installed my own copy of windows on my computer now, however in file explorer it only shows one of my drives (the one that I selected during the custom install menu) and the other one is not showing up.

Go into disc management, and you'll see both drives there, the second one probably needs to be initialised, or creating a simple volume

Ah, yeah I do see the second drive there, it's just unallocated. How big should I make the simple volume?

The size of the drive, use all the unallocated space

What should I do if I don’t have any option in settings to turn on Bluetooth (the button to turn it on is missing) same with WiFi. In Device Manager, Bluetooth is also missing.

 

[Martinr36]

Can you post screenshots of both your windows optional update page and also device manager

 

[ColonelMicrowave]

Here we go

 

[Martinr36]

Can you open up the network adapters in device manager

 

[ColonelMicrowave]

Yep, here we go

 

[SpyderTracks]

Yep, here we go

Have you run all your windows updates?

 

[ColonelMicrowave]

Yes, I have. It comes up with "You're up to date" after checking for updates.

That’s weird.

Install the Bluetooth driver from here

When I install the Bluetooth driver, for the MTK and MediaTek ones nothing happens when I "Extract all" and run "Asus Setup". For the Realtek one, I see console open for a split second and close immediately when I "Extract All" and run "Asus Setup", but nothing else. Is this supposed to happen?

It's just installing a driver.

 

[ColonelMicrowave]

Ok, so there's no prompt telling me the driver has been installed?

 

[ColonelMicrowave]

IT'S FIXED! I had to go into BIOS menu and the WiFi controller and Bluetooth controller were disabled. They've been enabled now and I can use bluetooth and WiFi now

Oh, how weird, that's naughty, that should have been picked up in testing.

It's a fresh install of Windows: "I've installed my own copy of windows on my computer now".
