First,

A qualified motherboard / NUC / Laptop.
Qualified motherboards & NUCs are listed in the following list:

Then,
Quote:
A suitable CPU.
If you buy a NUC or a laptop, ignore this step, since they have already integrated a CPU.
(Z170 & Z270 motherboards only accept Kaby-lake CPUs. Coffee-lake modding is incompatible.)
(Z390, Z370, H370, Q370, H310 motherboards don't support R0 stepping 9th Gen CPUs, unless you know how to mod their Intel ME FW.)

Third,
Quote:
A qualified 4K UHD BD playback supported optical drive.
A 4K monitor/TV supports both HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0 / DP 1.2.
A PowerDVD (Some qualified optical drives bundle an OEM version.)
(No internal optical drive for laptop available, unless you buy some specific models only for sale in Japan.)

Last,
Quote:
Go to BIOS settings, set SGX option to ON.
(If your laptop / ASUS motherboard only have the Software Controlled option, or no SGX option exist, ask me for SGX05311.7z download.
