    Cannot keep personal apps and settings when installing Windows 11 through USB flash drive...


    I've been trying to install Windows 11 from a USB flash drive but the setup will not let me keep my personal apps and settings when installing. Setup tells me the issue is a mismatch with the setup.exe language and my OS language in settings, even though I have checked several times to make sure these both matched up. the "setupact.log" file in C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther shows that both the host OS language and the target language are en-gb the target language though is en-GB in caps, don't know if that matters and that the installer is trying to install the correct edition, profession

    :)

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk
