    Can’t clean install windows 11


    I’ve recently put together a new pc but in the middle of setting it up i’ve accidentally selected windows 11 pro rather than windows 11 home. I’ve tried to clean install to select windows 11 home but the selection screen won’t pop up when I reset the computer. I’ve even tried to do ei.cfg on my files in my USB.

    Clean Install Workaround for Vista

    You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:
    • Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
    • When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
    • Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
    • When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
    • This time enter your product key
    • When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
    • Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it
    Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

    clean install of windows 11 on a laptop!

    Hello Paul,

    It depends on if you wanted to "Reset" or "Clean install" Windows 11. Both will result in a fresh install of Windows 11.

    The tutorials below can give you step by step details on how to do either.
