Remember that MakeMKV is your friend! And that you might need to load a custom firmware onto your drive to be able to rip 4K BluRays.

The MakeMKV forums actually have a ton of good info on getting set up to rip 4k. Ripping a 4K copy of Ghostbusters Afterlife that just landed today as we “speak” on my LG WH16NS40 that’s been flashed to think it’s an NS60, courtesy of the MakeMkv folks. I tried a much more expensive Pioneer drive before getting the LG, which went back to Amazon after I discovered it wouldn’t access my inaugural 4K disc - Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. The LG was less than half the price and has worked great on every disc I’ve thrown at it. I play my rips on my computer to confirm function, but I watch on my projector, which I finally ceiling mounted this summer.
After years of indifferently having half-set up Plex servers running on various computers in the house I’ve been bitten a bit by the disc acquisition/ ripping bug. Been having a lot of fun scouring eBay for the cheapest/highest res version available of all my favorite movies.

I looked into 4K playback on PCs. It’s all rather pointless as Intel took the security checks needed for playback out of CPUs a while back.

I’m afraid you’ll have to research although the video creator I linked has another video onto how to get around this problem. I’ve no idea about AMD though I’m afraid.
