Sorry for making a post for such a basic question but I wasn’t able to figure out my own so I’m come here as last resort.

I bought a new CPU, RAM, and motherboard combo and I migrated all my non-conflicting parts from my previous machine, which had a Linux install and a Windows install.

When I booted into the PC, I did not see an option in the boot menu or in the boot order for Linux whatsoever. Only my windows 11 IoT install and my new nanokvm.

I had a asrock x570 extreme4 and switch to a Msi Pro x870E-P WiFi. I have updated to the newest BIOS.

I was previously using systemd as my boot manager until I tried switching over to grub but neither trying to fix system D or installing grub seemed to work for me.

So I was hoping that I could delete my boot partition or somehow start from scratch without deleting any data in my root partition (Btrfs sub volumes) . and get a step-by-step installation guide for me since I can’t seem to understand the arch wiki at my current state.

I would like to give you guys more information about the scenario and more context of what I’ve done, but i’m sadly not capable.

/dev/nvme0n1 is my linux install while /dev/nvme1n1 is Windows 11 IoT

    Switch from bios to uefi boot mode (or vice versa)?

    Sometimes called legacy bios or something? From a quick google, might be called CSM

      This is most likely it. Seems some newer boards don’t just nicely support both UEFI and legacy booting and will straight up only do one or the other

      By default my motherboard came in with UEFI and I switched it to CMS and I did see more boot options they are USB Key,USB Floppy, and Network. I’m going to get a random 128gb SSD and use archinstall on it to see if show up on my system.

        Odd that the disk didn’t show up in the list there. If there are other options near CMS maybe have a play with them?

        Another option to checkout is to disable secure boot?
