This PC can’t run Windows 11<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This PC doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements to install this version of Windows. For more information, visit windows 11 requirements<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to BIOS and enable:
TPM Device and TPM State – any setting with TPM enable it.
Also Windows 11 MUST run with UEFI, and is not compatible with BIOS or Legacy Compatibility Mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You cannot install on external USB drive, so you have to insert the storage media into sata interface install and then boot of usb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIOS vs UEFI windows install MBR vs GPT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firmware (first piece of software run by a computer)\u00a0 : UEFI \/ BIOS
Basic Input\/Output System (BIOS)<\/strong> – can acces 16bit mode and 1MB of RAM
Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)<\/strong> or Unified EFI (UEFI) – native 64 bit mode<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UEFI has a\u00a0CSM(Compatibility Support Module)\/legacy BIOS mode, which enables an EFI to boot BIOS-mode OS-es.
ESP = Efi system partition<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disk partition table (stored on the first bytes of the storage device – hdd,stick,etc) :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Master Boot Record (MBR) – can only have 4 primary partitions, and hdd size of max 2.2TB
GUID Partition Table (GPT) – supports hard disks bigger then 2.2TB, 128 partitions etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

note : some storege devices are delivered from factory not initialized = without  a partition table and your os will  not see the storage device until you initialize it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bios will only boot either from a hdd that has a partition table of MBR with Legacy mode<\/strong> (or CSM\/legacy BIOS mode on an EFI-based computer) or GPT with UEFI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EFI\u00a0<\/strong>– can only boot\u00a064 bit<\/strong>\u00a0versions of Windows and only with\u00a0GPT\u00a0<\/strong>partition table
BIOS\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Legacy\u00a0mode<\/strong>\u00a0– 32\/64 bit versions of WINDOWS with MBR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filesystems :<\/strong>\u00a0a set of data structures that facilitate naming files, locating them on a disk, and so on- that partitions are formatted with: NTFS, FAT32, FAT, ext2 (linux) etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you arrive at partitioning – you will need a GPT partition style.
You can use AOMEI Partition Assistant:<\/strong> http:\/\/www.disk-partition.com\/download-home.html<\/a> – to convert a MBR partition style to GPT without losing any data. It only takes around 30seconds-1 minute for the operation to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To open CMD during install press SHFIT + F10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get a storage error that disk is not GPT go to cmd
– type diskpart
– list disk
– select disk 1
– clean
– convert gpt <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: this will erase everything on your storage device so backup first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windows user – microsoft account or local account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During setup you will be asked to connect to the internet – either you have an ethernet cable pluged in or you will be asked to connect to a wifi network.
If you connect you will only be able to continue setup by using a microsoft account.
If you do not want to use a microsoft account and just use a local account disconnect from the internet and press back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you connected to a wifi network press SHIFT + F10 to open cmd and disconnect from wifi with: netsh wlan disconnect<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add new local user<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

net user myuser mypassword \/add
net localgroup administrators myuser \/add<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legacy windows 32 bit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you need to run some old app that only runs on 32bits and you want to installa a 32bit version you might run into this error:
<\/strong>Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
