  1. Incorrect screen resolution on install, cannot see options


    I am carrying out clean instal of windows 11 after having to replace motherboard and cpu. The motherboard only has HDMI out. for display The problem is that the resolution is not adjusted correctly and the screen does not really fit on the display correctly. This is okay until about the third screen prompt when it asks to connect to the internet. I cannot see the options and cannot tab through to select them even? I cannot find a way of changing the resolution to enable me to be able to click the options needed??

    :)
