    Partition changes between Win10 and win11?


    I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop I had to change hard drives in (256GB NVMe) the replacement I received from Lenovo was, of course, a Refurb. first try at SCCM imaging resulted in a failure that I get sometimes (sorry don't remember the number) which is usually taken care of with a Diskpart, clean, and then creating 3 partitions after converting to GPT. 1 - EFI size 512 formatted as Fat32 2 - MSR size 128 and 3- the rest is primary and formatted as NTFS. Now I am getting a 8007000F which according to CMTRACE is "windows cannot find the drive specified" . SCCM and Image is Windows 10 latest build. Drive was diskparted on a windows 11 Machine. so the question is ...

    is anyone aware of any changes in how windows 11 created partitions that would cause a disk formatted on windows 11 to not work on a windows 10 machine?

    Its always best to clean the disk so its blank then let windows create what it needs you can use partition software after if you need to change it

    8007000F = invalid drive

    Supported installations of Windows 11 require BIOS: UEFI / Drive: GPT

    Default partitions = 4

    Partition layout
    The default partition layout for UEFI-based PCs is: a system partition, an MSR, a Windows partition, and a recovery tools partition.

    You don't need to clean the drive and create partitions. The installation does it for you.

    I suggest you build the USB Win 11 23h2 installation drive using MCT

    Windows can be installed in two ways: Legacy-MBR or UEFI-GPT
    To install as Legacy-MBR you must boot the installation drive as Legacy
    To install as UEFI-GPT you must boot the installation drive as UEFI.

    As you have a UEFI BIOS, you should install as UEFI-GPT

    During POST, press F12(?) to launch the boot menu. You will see two options for the USB drive. USB UEFI (Name) and USB (Name). Select USB UEFI (Name) to install as UEFI-GPT.
    Go to install and delete ALL partitions on the main drive till you have one and only one unallocated space and then proceed.

    Don't enable updates or connect to the internet during installation.
