Official W11 support? That only requires a legit Windows key, nothing more.

I've hot swapped a lot of gpus on w10 and 11. The Windows install is UEFI, but can swap in any card that does not support UEFI and Windows is perfectly fine with it. The board automatically boots CSM, a quick notification before post, Windows posts right up without changes to the OS with the exception of it installing a generic display driver.

That being said, if the card holds a value, then maybe a flash for UEFI isn't a good idea.

I could probably mod the bios for OP, but won't do such things without a test subject, and unfortunately do not.

We will see if op does come back, now that there was a bios cooked up. I also accidentally found a workaround for 2.93 to work in w11 for polaris and older it would seem.
