Dear John A Duvenez,
Thank you for your comment.
We do understand your disappointment with this motherboard and the inconvenience this may have caused if Windows 11 will not load. This motherboard is definitely Windows 11 ready. If Windows was installed previously from another motherboard and is not booting up on this motherboard, this is most likely cause by a driver or a software conflict. We recommend to install Windows 11 clean or fresh from scratch using this motherboard to eliminate potential driver or software conflict. Additionally, check if all your third-party hardware are compatible and working properly, and optimize default was loaded inside the BIOS setup page to initialize these I/O devices properly. Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.
WiFi and Bluetooth not working is a known problem. My board showed up with WiFi and Bluetooth inop. Searched for hours on line for fixes; reloaded drivers multiple times; did magic “static reset”; nothing worked. Had to use a WiFi dongle to get internet and begin to troubleshoot. Obviously poor testing at the factory.

This motherboard has very easy to work with, and there is more than enough connections in the io port which makes connecting accessories a breeze wether for recharging or wireless connectivity. The battery is also located in a very accessible spot to make troubleshooting easy. I give it a solid 5
Nice board however the onboard video is glitchy. Likely have to buy a Video Card to correct. Bios interface is user friendly
