this is what I was expecting...from a video I was watching...

any help would be appreciated

oh, MSI B450 Carbon Pro
Ryzen 3 2200G
no graphics card yet, using ryzens onboard one

BIOS simplified to remove the graphical crap with a later update?

Your in basic mode try the advanced button.

Because of 16MB BIOS chip size MSI removed graphical bloat to support Zen2 Ryzens.

What @EsaT said.

You need the max version of that board to have the better UI.

There's no Max version of B450 Carbon.
Anyway that text based Lite BIOS is cleaner than graphical bloatware.

You know, when I used the work "better" , I thought someone might comment.

My mistake top right hand corner of bottom photo it says tomahawk. Didn't see his follow up comment.

Ric678 · 14 Feb 2020 at 20:09
