      Turn on the PC and it will automatically boot into the BIOS if no operating system is installed. Make your changes, then save and exit. Then just turn off your PC. You can do your Windows install any time.

    Fun Fact: I actually discovered that a 3rd generation non-TPM PC can actually boot and run Windows 11 perfectly fine without any issues. I was getting ready to install W-11 on a brand new build I made, then realized I forgot to retrieve the product key off the prior build. I connected the prior ssd boot drive to a 3rd gen pc, not thinking that ahead that it may not boot because 3rd gen PCs don't have TPM, it booted perfectly fine and normal, it even automatically downloaded drivers for the 3rd gen PC and kept on working fine.
    CAN you install Windows 11 on a 3rd Gen PC? The answer is no because the install will detect the 3rd gen PC not having TPM.
    CAN you pull the boot drive with Windows 11 off a 4th gen and 5th gen PC then connect the boot drive to a 3rd gen PC and have it work? The answer is yes.

      As a former linux user, i don't recommend linux to anyone, unless you have a really old computer that doesn't work well with Windows anymore.
      I used multiple Linux distros (basically versions, or editions. For example, linux mint, arch linux, debian, etc) for a year, and then I switched back to Windows.
      Sometimes i did really enjoy using linux, but often times it was just a whole bunch of frustration because Linux has too many compatibility problems.
      Linux has some driver problems/shortcomings with certain configurations.
      Linux has a ton of problems with other software compatibility too. It was very annoying having to run most of my favourite games and programs with weird compatibility layers that would make the performance most often worse than on Windows. Most developers of most programs don't bother too much with creating Linux native versions, because there's just not enough demand, and it's also often difficult to do. There's not nearly enough demand for developers to want to go through all the trouble that comes with making Linux native programs.
      Also, i'll never forget how tedious it was to install some of the distros...
      Overall i don't recommend Linux desktop operating system to people who just want things to work, and i especially don't recommend Linux to people who are new to computers.

    One note - you don't need a Windows machine to start this process. If you go to the microsoft windows 11 website from a non-windows machine, it will allow you to download the iso directly which you can burn to a bootable USB using a tool appropriate for that OS. I did it from a raspberry pi.

    I very recently upgraded Win 10 to Win 11 using the assistant and you have forgotten to mention a step which if you have not performed will cause your Win 11 instillation to fail! (ok over dramatic, it might fail)
    Check your BIOS settings before the install..
    First off I have a ROG Strix X570-E Gaming and I updated to the very latest BIOS the day I decided to upgrade.
    Unlike the old BIOS the new version turns on the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 by default. What I didn't know and after Day 2 of Win 11 failing to install (after hours of waiting to 99% and stuck at > research > do a reboot as MS Forum suggested)... Now with an error code 0xc0000005 I eventually researched that code which mentioned memory access can be blocked, it was jargon to me ?? but I dragged myself back to the BIOS again where there was a section about memory access which was had choices of auto or generic or Windows. Changing that to Windows and Win 11 installed without a hitch.
    So check the BIOS first bro :)

    Another option if your wifi or Ethernet is not working during the install process (mobo drivers not making hardware work) you can get a USB wireless adapter that you simply plug into USB and it will pick up your wifi for around $10. Chances are this will work because it's a more basic driver type that is available in the Windows 11 install files. Once you get the initial OS setup, then you can go get your fancy driver for your fancy (likely very new model so not supported yet by OS install media) mobo! Good to go.

      Yes you can do it, but its a different process.
      You will need your Macbook, a flash drive, Google Chrome, Chromebook Recovery Utility, and the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft.
      Once you have everything you need, plug in the flash drive to your Mac. Then change the extension of the ISO to BIN. Open Chrome and then the Recovery Utility. Click on the gear icon and choose "Use local image". Select the BIN file and then select the flash drive you want to restore to. Let the tool work; it may take upwards of 30 minutes. Once it is finished, you can plug the flash drive into your new PC and it should be able to boot from that flash drive installer you just created.

      The way I've done it is using Google Chrome and the Chromebook Recovery Utility. You'll also need the Windows 11 ISO file which you can get from Microsoft's download page. Change the extension of the ISO file to BIN. Plug in the flash drive and open Chrome and then the Recovery Utility. Click on the gear icon and choose "Use local image". Then select the BIN file. Select the USB drive you want to restore to and then continue. It may take more than 30 minutes to complete. Once it is finished, you can install Windows on your new PC with the newly created USB installer.

    • @JJFlores197
      @JJFlores197 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's a tough one to answer as there is a ton of stuff you can potentially remove. In most instances, its best to leave your PC as-is. If you really want to customize your system by removing unnecessary files and programs, I strongly suggest that you make a system image first. That way, if you accidentally delete or modify something critical, you can re-image your system and back at the point of the backup.

      Lookup Chris Titu s Tech ' s Windows Utili ty. Its a good all-in-one solution to perform many optimizations and install multiple programs at once. There are many other programs and scr1 pts tha do similar things, but there's always the potential to accidentally delete or modify the wrong file. Again, make a backup BEFORE doing any of this.

      No you misunderstood. You don't need an internet connection to install Windows. You just use the USB installer. However, once you get to the screen at 12:08, that's where it gets a bit tricky. Microsoft forces you to setup your PC with an online account to continue with the setup. This requires an internet connection.

      The product key is used to activate your Windows installation. Windows is not technically free software. Microsoft expects you to pay for Windows. When you do so, you get a product key that you enter at the time of installation or after installation in the Settings app. This product key is used to activate the version and edition of Windows.

      You can use a Mac, but its a different process as the Media Creation tool doesn't run on macOS. You will need your Mac, Chrome, Chromebook Recovery Utility, flash drive, and the W10/11 ISO. Once you have everything you need, change the extension of the ISO file to BIN. Then plug in the flash drive to your Mac. Open Chrome and then the Recovery Utility. Click on the gear icon and choose "Use local image". Select the BIN file. Then select the flash drive you want to restore to. It may take 30 minutes or more to complete so be patient. Once it is finished, you can remove the flash drive from your Mac and connect it to your new PC and install Windows as shown in the video.

      If you want a clean install of WIndows, yes you can do this. However, if you want to bring everything from the old drive, you can clone the old SSD to the new one using cloning software like Acronis True Image or CloneZilla or similar. CloneZilla is completely free and open source, but it is not sure friendly though. Acronis has a free version which works well enough for most use cases.
