Windows 10: finding key to a Win11 partition

Hello! Having bought an HP laptop with Win10 installed, an upgrade was made to Win11. So far so good. Then I wanted to install Fedora beside Win11. Fedora was installed into a separate partition on the same drive, GRUB is running now. However, Fedora sees the Win11 partition, but cannot read it: it requires a key to it. And since Fedora cannot read the partition, it also cannot include it as a possible boot version. Grub can only see the Fedora partitions to boot from. How could I find out the key for Fedora so it could read the partition? Thanks for your support!

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

Win11 Health Check won't run due to 'my organization'

Thanks ... very useful. Here is what I got ...

• Sure, my current boot method isn't right - using CSM
• Disk partition is off - fine ... just looking to install Win 11 to a brand new SSD and build my PC install around it
  might due boot between win10 and win11 for a while
• secure boot - I guess I can turn that on

Any suggestions? All I want to do is install Win11 on a new SSD and then think about which PC to put it in. Does it really matter if the installing PC isn't up to snuff / specs?

You need to list the hardware for the computers you're considering.
