Encountering problems with the new build during installation of Windows 11?
I gathered the components I needed for my new PC setup. The CPU cooler is Thermalright Phantom Spirit EVO, storage includes a 1 TB Samsung 990 Pro drive, and the video card is a Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 7900 XTX with 24 GB RAM. The case features a Fractal Design compact RGB ATX mid tower, and the motherboard is an MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK Wi-Fi ATX AM5 model. Memory is Corsair Vengeance RGB with 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30. The power supply is a 1000W 1080W ATX unit. I started installing Windows 11 from a USB drive created via the Windows tool on their website. After the installation, a prompt asked for drivers to recognize hardware. My drives are listed in the BIOS, so I wasn’t sure what was needed. I searched online but found mostly upgrade guides rather than straightforward installs. When I tried Windows 10 first, it worked fine. Now I’m hoping to get Windows 11 installed directly, but there’s no obvious upgrade button. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sure, you can bypass the installation driver step. Windows 10 should work now. Just reinstall from the USB drive, and you should be good. When installing Windows 11, feel free to remove the existing drives.
Hello! Have you attempted installing from a self-created bootable USB with an ISO file that you downloaded? Sometimes this method succeeds by chance. Additionally, during installation, you might use the older installer and select the 'use old option' or similar setting. In the most unlikely scenario, updating your BIOS could resolve the issue.
Ensure the installation media is set up as a GPT partition, which is essential for the primary system drive. Opting for a stable setup like this enhances performance and reliability. Even better, choosing a version that maintains connectivity through updates can prevent major disruptions. For instance, the newest Win11 release sometimes causes internet issues, but a simple rollback often resolves the problem.
