Can I boot my new PC build without a dedicated GPU to install Windows?

I'm trying to set up my new PC build that's currently without a GPU since I'm waiting for my order to arrive. I managed to get into the BIOS, but when I try to boot from my USB stick with Windows 11 on it, it just keeps returning me to the BIOS screen instead of starting the installation. The USB is plugged into the correct slot. Is there any way to get this to work without the GPU?

If your CPU has integrated graphics (iGPU), you should be able to boot without a dedicated GPU!

That's good to know; it does have integrated graphics.

First things first, check if you can see your SSD in the BIOS. If it's listed, you're on the right track!

Yes, I can see the SSD.

Am I supposed to see it? This is my first time in the BIOS.

Try using only one stick of RAM to see if that helps. It can be a hassle, but sometimes that's what it takes to troubleshoot. Also, when you check the boot sequence, if the USB with Windows is the only thing showing, that's normal.
