    I suspect this is a driver issue. Does your pc use special drivers for its drives e.g. do you have an optane memory drive?

    Thanks for all the help guys.I tried elevenforums suggestion and still showed nothing for disks.This is getting way to technical for me to even try.Think I will call Dell and see if it's a setting in the bios.Other than that I will let it go.Not to comfortable trying these things but thank-you all for trying to help.

    You are making assumptions about OPs pc, and requirements. To get decent performance on a virtual machine requires a moderately powerful host pc.

    More than one computer. I'll bet the computer that won't install the second Windows needs INTEL RST ( Rapid Storage Trchnology) drivers.

    You could simply copy the existing OS partition to a blank partition, add it to the boot menu, then upgrade that to Windows 11.
