    Unable to keep personal files and apps when attempting Windows 11 installation through...


    I've been trying to install Windows 11, but the Windows 11 Installation Assistant gives me error 0x8007007f, while the Media Creation Tool crashes on startup. I ditched those two options and created my own installation media, and burned it with Rufus, but when trying to execute the setup file inside my installation media, I'm told that I can't keep my personal files and apps because "Your files, apps, and settings can't be kept because you've chosen to install Windows 11 using a different language than you're currently using."This is not true, as I downloaded the English US ISO, and my compute

    Unable to keep personal files and apps when attempting Windows 11 installation through installation media.

    I've been trying to install Windows 11, but the Windows 11 Installation Assistant gives me error 0x8007007f, while the Media Creation Tool crashes on startup. I ditched those two options and created my own installation media, and burned it with Rufus, but when trying to execute the setup file inside my installation media, I'm told that I can't keep my personal files and apps because "Your files, apps, and settings can't be kept because you've chosen to install Windows 11 using a different language than you're currently using."

    This is not true, as I downloaded the English US ISO, and my computer's language is set to English US as well.

    Unable to access Zip folder created by "Steps Recorder" in Windows 10

    Thank you for the reply. I already have "hidden files" checked. - - - Updated - - - To clarify : 1) Attempting to open file by clicking on it in the "Recent files" list I get the following:
