Thank you for your work. Hopefully you will fix it and share it.

Amazing work, and without help from anyone. I'm not too proud to accept a updated bios.

I have the same as servo128

I was going to try putting the tweaked version of Windows 11 (made using Rufus) on my GK1, which is essentially the exact same thing as a GK3, just in a different case. I read that if a unit has Secure Boot it needs to be disabled for the tweaked version to install, so I went into the BIOS to check if it had it, and if so, to ensure it was off. When I did, not only did it have Secure Boot, I also found out that it had fTPM. While Secure Boot was already enabled, I had to turn on fTPM. I then ran the PC Health Check app and it passed with everything.

I put a 250GB Samsung SSD in the drive expansion carriage on the bottom and performed a clean install of Windows 11 to it. It worked perfectly.

My GK1 is actually a bit Frankensteined. I had both a GK1 and an AK3. The GK1 had the better case, IMHO, but the AK3 had the better system board. J4105/4GB/64GB vs J4125/8GB/120GB, respectively. So I swapped the boards, as they're the same layout and dimensions. So this GK1 case has the AK3's system board.

In the chance it might help anyone, this is the BIOS...


Now I just have to do what I did with the Frankensteined AK3, as this thing runs quite warm.

Edit: I should add that the revision of my system board is likely different than the revision of the board in the current GK3. The following is the revision of my system board...

Greetings guys. According to your comment, the bios of the AK3 board is the one that has secure boot and tpm which makes it compatible with windows 11. Now we would have to see if this AK3 bios is compatible with GK3

Your post made me remember that the revision of my system board is almost assuredly different than the current GK3 system board. I don't know whether this would make any difference though.
