Restarting Windows 11 fresh is a thorough process, which naturally extends its duration.
Restarting Windows 11 fresh is a thorough process, which naturally extends its duration.
Your recent Windows 11 installation is progressing slowly. After switching from Windows 10, you upgraded to 11 and then initiated a format or clean install. It has now been over an hour and ten minutes, with only 25% completion. I’ve experienced similar delays before, typically taking between 30 minutes to an hour for multiple formats. Your system specs are: 9700k RAM, 500GB SSD, 1TB NVMe Samsung 970 drive, 2TB Toshiba HDD, and all drives are around 50% full. Thank you in advance.
you are preparing to format the ssd by unplugging all non-os disks.
Currently it's "resetting this PC" – displaying the Asus rog logo and the progress bar. All other formats or reinstalls I've tried used the media creation tool or something similar. Since I wanted to make backups, I used the only flash drive I had. This time I opted for the built-in feature in Windows – "reset this PC" – and then proceeded via the cloud download method. I haven't formatted my PC in four years, so I thought it would be a good idea to clear everything out, including the SSD. I'm not sure where I went wrong because it's taking a long time.

I didn't understand that explanation. The point was simply to mention using the flash drive for backups since it was the only one I had.
