you were using windows 11 about 4 months ago? on this computer?

#

so what happened? You formatted your computer and it wouldn't install again, or what lead up to today where you can't install it?

#

I see. Is it perhaps your BIOS/UEFI is still set in Legacy/Other OS Mode instead of WIndows Mode?

#

and also "Secure Boot" enabled in there as well

#

does it have an option to reset the original defaults?

#

or if not, just explore in there for those words like secure boot or legacy mode

#

if everything there seems okay, another thing I can suggest is to try a tool on GitHub called "WhyNot11" that does a scan and quickly tells you what's not meeting the requirement, it does a great job.

#

I sure hate BIOS that have such a highly styled UI 😁

Can you go to to the advanced at the top (F7) and check inside there

#

sure looks good to me

#

What OS is running when this is displayed? Is it Windows 10 by chance?

#

Okay, can you try that tool I mentioned, it should help determine this more easily

#

I'll get a link

#

And pinpoint what's "REALLY" the problem, instead of the pretty unhelpful message Windows gives

#

Hmm, can you restart your setup.exe for Windows 11 again?

#

how weird

#

That should be okay, or the alternative is also the "Media Creator Tool", which is almost identical of a tool (I honestly don't know why they even make both), but sometimes one works better

try that one instead

#

when you run it, just choose "upgrade this PC now"

#

Sometimes it works better for no good reason 😂

#

nope no loss if you use the upgrade option

#

it lets you keep everything

#

choose ISO please

#

and then save the file anywhere on your drive, it doesn't matter. Desktop is fine

#

you can delete it after using it

#

oh... I'm not sure. probably at least 4-8 GB I think

#

great! Would you open that .iso file and then just click setup.exe inside

#

choose to "keep everything" when asked

#

I assume Delej means next 🙂
