  1. Fresh Win 11 install question


    I currently have two Windows 10 Pro retail from the MS store on two PC's. I keep hearing I can upgrade to Win 11 with this key. Once I make the necessary changes in BIOS, can I do a fresh install VIA Media Creation Tool USB to install Win 11 Pro and activate with my Win 10 Pro keys? TIA

    :)

    Install Win 11 alogside win 10 question

    1. I called the support phone number and was told they do not support dual booting to Win 11.

    2. I keep getting the message from the installer "we couldn't create a new partition or locate one".

    3. What I am trying to do is install a fresh copy of Win 11 on a second hard drive. Win 10 is on "C". I want to put Win 11 on "T". I have tried the media creation tool. I have downloaded an ISO and used Rufus to burn it to a USB. I have tried most of the suggestions posted over the internet, but none have worked.

    4. One of the solutions I can think of is to disconnect or remove the "C" drive, do the installation, and re-connect the drive. The downside to this process is the fact the PC needs to be disassembled to accomplish the process. ( remove the graphics card and one heatsink ). Another is to use xcopy with the switches k/h/e to put the files from the USB on the "T" drive and try to boot to the installer

    5. I need advice as to possible solutions.

  3. Fresh USB Windows 10 Install - Failing

    I am trying to install a fresh copy (reformatted the hard disk) of windows 10 using a USB

    • Created an installation media on a USB flash drive (Win 10 pro) from this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
    • Changed the boot order on the other PC so that it boots using USB
    • Selected custom install
    • Installing Windows goes through the following steps successfully: Copying Windows Files, Getting Files ready for installation, Installing features, Installing updates and before the last step (Finishing up), it restarts
    • Then it goes back to the start of the installation steps

    I am stuck and have read numerous posts but don't know what to do to install a fresh copy of Win 10.
