Windows 10: Trying to Clean install, Says my hardware is not minimum. I have been using the OS already.

I just made a bootable drive using the Windows 11 media creation tool and While trying to set up a fresh install it says my hardware is not compatible. I have been using windows 11 through insider program for a while now and PC health check app has all check marks for supporting my hardware. Is there a known issue while using a USB to boot? MSI X570 MOBO/3700X CPU all SSDS, is it possible the installer is reading my USB as the only available hard disk and saying there isn't enough space available?

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.
