OK, after much chest pounding and hair pulling, I got the USB installer to finally delete all partitions and successfully install Win 11 Pro on the new ssd. Now to try to figure out the mess the old...
The BIOS doesn't give me a choice. CSM is disabled. Secure Boot is disabled. There are no disk boot choices, just CSM and Secure Boot. Before this fiasco, there were boot disk choices and, if it was...
The USB is FAT32. CSM is disabled in the BIOS. Only 1 small unformatted partition and the main formatted partition. Partition was formatted within installation environment.
I'm getting confused...
Boot PC to USB drive.
Click Install.

Just a quick question. I tried to install a clean Win 11 Pro via a USB Media Creation Tool to a new 2Tb ssd. The installation failed saying the needed Windows files were missing.
Should I try...
Well, it looks like I'll try the clean install to a new ssd and keep the old one to try with jumanji and see what works best (the most optimal one would have been to be able to restore the C: drive...
Would really like to retain the data on the C: drive but if the only option is a clean install, I'll go that route.
Disk 2 is an old, old storage drive, nothing that was used for the OS.

This all goes back to trying to get the Win 10 Pro drive ready to upgrade to Win 11 Pro. The original drive was MBR because it was created years ago on an upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10.
I used...
OK, the original drive was MBR and I converted it to GPT. I am using a Win 10 USB created by the media creation tool. During installation I selected keep files, etc. and it was working to somewhere...

So then I'd have to do a 'clean' install, losing all the settings, documents, etc? If I boot into the windows ISO and try to do the install 'saving user files, settings, etc', it tells me that I have...
But see, I can't get to the C: drive. The boot file is corrupted. The BIOS shows no OS available.
I've used Macrium to back up the drive but somehow there's a corrupted file in the backup and...
I was performing an upgrade to the Win 10 Pro PC from USB. Successfully performed the ISO build. However, when I came back to the PC it was off. I restarted the PC and I get the following:

OK, going to quit this thread as I have a more pressing issue and will create a new thread.
OK. I wish they would make a line item regarding the disable in the tutorial. Anyway, where do I find the winre.wim and reagent.xml files. A search didn't come up with anything.
Entered the command and got this:
Windows RE status: Disabled
Windows RE location:
Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: 86806547-7e9a-11e9-ac72-ff692d089b75

I believe I went to Windows Repair and then to an offline command prompt where I issued the MBR2GPT command.
I'm getting ready to upgrade my wife's PC to Win 11 Pro. I performed a MBR2GPT on the C: drive and it completed successfully. However, when I went into Disk Management to make sure the properties of...
Thanks, guys. Figured out it was a bad fan. Never had a new one that was bad but this one will start spinning if I twirl it with my finger, then stops after a while. Rinse and repeat.
PC running Win 10 22H2 build 19045.3570 with a Ryzen 9 3900X CPU on a Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming K7 mobo with a 750W PS. I have the rear fan connected to the SYS Fan port on the mobo and have the BIOS...
Thanks. I'll give Fences a try.
I need to upgrade my wife's Win 10 Pro PC to Win 11 Pro. Her biggest concern is losing her current desktop icon location setting (she has arranged the icons on the desktop to where she is familiar to...
Great replies. I will begin this weekend with all your ideas.
Many thanks.
My wife's PC is still running Win 10 Pro (I know, I have to update it to Win 11). For the last several months the PC has gone into sudden lockdown and the only way out is holding the PC case power...
I'd like to play some PS/4 games (like Horizon Zero West) on my PC using Playstation Now. However, PSNow says it requires a compatible controller.
I started PC gaming back in the 90s with only the...
