Windows 10: Windows 11 clean install freezes during reboot

Hello.I tried a clean install of win 11 on my Dell XPS 8930 using a bootable dvd media. The installation process goes fine and then the pc reboots. Then during the reboot, the pc freezes at “Getting devices ready 50%”. I had no other choice but to turn off the pc.I tried the clean install again and the pc freezes at that point again. Not sure if the Dell logo disappearing and reappearing may mean something during the reboot, but I wanted to remind myself where the freeze happens.Any help is appreciated.

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.
