@@dreaper5813 As a former linux user, i don't recommend linux to anyone, unless you have a really old computer that doesn't work well with Windows anymore. I used multiple Linux distros (basically versions, or editions. For example, linux mint, arch linux, debian, etc) for a year, and then I switched back to Windows. Sometimes i did really enjoy using linux, but often times it was just a whole bunch of frustration because Linux has too many compatibility problems. Linux has some driver problems/shortcomings with certain configurations. Linux has a ton of problems with other software compatibility too. It was very annoying having to run most of my favourite games and programs with weird compatibility layers that would make the performance most often worse than on Windows. Most developers of most programs don't bother too much with creating Linux native versions, because there's just not enough demand, and it's also often difficult to do. There's not nearly enough demand for developers to want to go through all the trouble that comes with making Linux native programs. Also, i'll never forget how tedious it was to install some of the distros... Overall i don't recommend Linux desktop operating system to people who just want things to work, and i especially don't recommend Linux to people who are new to computers.

Another option if your wifi or Ethernet is not working during the install process (mobo drivers not making hardware work) you can get a USB wireless adapter that you simply plug into USB and it will pick up your wifi for around $10. Chances are this will work because it's a more basic driver type that is available in the Windows 11 install files. Once you get the initial OS setup, then you can go get your fancy driver for your fancy (likely very new model so not supported yet by OS install media) mobo! Good to go.

I've read forums, asked questions in forums, always got answers to the question I didn't ask etc......

Microsoft forces you to setup your PC with an online account to continue with the setup. This requires an internet connection.

Yes you can do it, but its a different process. You will need your Macbook, a flash drive, Google Chrome, Chromebook Recovery Utility, and the Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft. Once you have everything you need, plug in the flash drive to your Mac. Then change the extension of the ISO to BIN. Open Chrome and then the Recovery Utility. Click on the gear icon and choose "Use local image". Select the BIN file and then select the flash drive you want to restore to. Let the tool work; it may take upwards of 30 minutes. Once it is finished, you can plug the flash drive into your new PC and it should be able to boot from that flash drive installer you just created.

(ok over dramatic, it might fail) Check your BIOS settings before the install.. First off I have a ROG Strix X570-E Gaming and I updated to the very latest BIOS the day I decided to upgrade. Unlike the old BIOS the new version turns on the Trusted Platform Module 2.0 by default. What I didn't know and after Day 2 of Win 11 failing to install (after hours of waiting to 99% and stuck at > research > do a reboot as MS Forum suggested)... Now with an error code 0xc0000005 I eventually researched that code which mentioned memory access can be blocked, it was jargon to me ?? but I dragged myself back to the BIOS again where there was a section about memory access which was had choices of auto or generic or Windows. Changing that to Windows and Win 11 installed without a hitch. So check the BIOS first bro :)

Same process.

@MickyD979 Ай бұрын

Can I do this same process but with a mac and not a windows pc, just to download the file on the usb drive?

@JJFlores197 Ай бұрын

You can use a Mac, but its a different process as the Media Creation tool doesn't run on macOS. You will need your Mac, Chrome, Chromebook Recovery Utility, flash drive, and the W10/11 ISO. Once you have everything you need, change the extension of the ISO file to BIN. Then plug in the flash drive to your Mac. Open Chrome and then the Recovery Utility. Click on the gear icon and choose "Use local image". Select the BIN file. Then select the flash drive you want to restore to. It may take 30 minutes or more to complete so be patient. Once it is finished, you can remove the flash drive from your Mac and connect it to your new PC and install Windows as shown in the video.

Writing from California: Great overview, thank you kindly. I've had Windows 11 for about a year now, but have decided to downgrade to Windows 10 utilizing the exact steps as outlined on this video. By the way, I purchased the HP Omen 15 in 2021 from one of your previous reviews PC Centric, take care.

Yes. Each Windows install needs its own product key.

What other things/files should one download and transfer over to the new PC? Like what is safe to delete vs not

@JJFlores197 6 ай бұрын

That's a tough one to answer as there is a ton of stuff you can potentially remove. In most instances, its best to leave your PC as-is. If you really want to customize your system by removing unnecessary files and programs, I strongly suggest that you make a system image first. That way, if you accidentally delete or modify something critical, you can re-image your system and back at the point of the backup.

Lookup Chris Titu s Tech ' s Windows Utili ty. Its a good all-in-one solution to perform many optimizations and install multiple programs at once. There are many other programs and scr1 pts tha do similar things, but there's always the potential to accidentally delete or modify the wrong file. Again, make a backup BEFORE doing any of this. I'm trying to avoid the youtube censors, so that's why some of the words are intentionally misspelled or cut in half.

I've been trying to instal windows for hours now. As soon as it finishes copying windows files and prepares to get files ready for installation. It hits me with different errors each time and nothing I've found online helps at all

I saw it say on the dvd product itself that you cannot install it with an OS already installer. ONLY new computer. I’m a monkey so can’t help you. But info like that is essential.

1:47 he mentions going somewhere to buy a usb drive with it already ready to go. where are the places?

@JJFlores197 Ай бұрын

A retailer like BestBuy or Amazon. Just note that it will be pricey as you're mainly paying for the product key.

I'm getting windows 11 because I can't play minecraft bedrock on windows enterprise 1809 (long story it can't update) and that was all I could get when I got this computer.
