    Cannot reinstall Windows 11 on SSD seems to have residu from upgrade


    Hi,I have a minisforum AMD Ryzen 7 PC with a 1TB SSD. The computer ran fine with Windows 11. However, after a recent update, the computer got stuck in boot. I tried various things to "repair" or go back to the previous version. After using all the tools in boot, I decided to go for a fresh install. I created a USB for a fresh Win 11 install and booted from the USB. It does start with the installation, but I keep ending up in a loop where Windows Set Up states that "it looks like an upgrade was in progress" its actually in Dutch so I freely translated it.

  2. Upgrading SSD and reinstalling windows 11.

    I recently purchased a refurbished Dell OptiPlex 7020 with a 3.6ghz Intel i7-4790 and 32 GB RAM. It has Windows 11 Pro installed on a 500 GB SSD. I'm trying to upgrade the SSD to a 2TB SSD.

    I've created a USB disk with Windows on it, but when I try to boot up the PC, the software says the system doesn't meet the minimum spec to support Windows 11. How can I go forward?

    Upgraded Windows Transfer from HDD to SSD

    Hi

    My windows was upgraded from 8 to 10 on my laptop few years back. I was trying to get the HDD replaced with SSD. During the copy process, the technician said windows cannot be moved to SSD as it is an upgraded version from 8 to 10.

    Kindly guide if there is a possibility to copy the windows to SSD ? If so, please suggest the steps.
