Windows 10: Windows 11 install exe, how to recognize storage?

Greetings,The windows 11 install, listed here: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11for the first option, allows somebody to upgrade without mounting the iso or requiring a boot from bios.I am attempting to install windows on some computers, and they do not allow me to complete the install due to a lack of storage. To remedy this, I plug in a USB, and for some computers, this allows me to proceed with the install.For others, despite the computer recognizing the USB, I cannot continue the install.Is there any hack for getting the computers where the executable still says I don't

:)

Unable to install Windows 11 on dual-boot system with openSUSE Tumbleweed

I'm trying to install Windows 11 alongside my existing openSUSE Tumbleweed installation on a Lenovo laptop. However, I'm encountering issues during the Windows 11 installation process.

When I reach the "Where do you want to install Windows?" step during the Windows 11 installation, I receive an error message stating: "We couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click Load driver." After clicking "Load driver," I get another error: "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK." followed by "To install the device driver for your drive, insert installation media containing the driver files, and then click OK. Note: the installation media can be a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive."

Steps to reproduce:

1. Boot from the Windows 11 installation media (Ventoy USB drive).
   
2. Follow the prompts until reaching the "Where do you want to install Windows?" step.
   
3. The error messages mentioned above appear, preventing me from continuing the installation.
   

Expected behavior: The Windows 11 installer should recognize my storage devices (SSD and HDD) and allow me to proceed with the installation process on the desired partition or drive.

Actual behavior: The installer fails to detect any available drives or storage devices, and the error messages suggest missing or unsigned storage drivers.

Environment details:

• Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed (latest version)
  
• Kernel Version: 6.8.4-rc1-1-default
  
• Laptop Model: Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6
  
• BIOS/UEFI Version: H4CN34WW(V2.03)
  

Relevant configuration:

Attempts and research:

• I have downloaded the latest storage drivers for my Lenovo laptop model from the official Lenovo website.
  
• I have added the extracted driver files to the Ventoy USB drive alongside the Windows 11 installation files.
  

Please let me know if you need any clarification or have additional details to provide. I appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue and successfully installing Windows 11 on my dual-boot system with openSUSE Tumbleweed.

 

Can I still upgrade to Windows 11 if I change the storage drive, CPU, and motherboard?

My PC does not meet the minimum requirements to upgrade to Windows 11 (Pro). In order to accommodate this upgrade I've bought a new storage drive, CPU, and motherboard. The new drive is much faster than the other drives, so I'd like to use it to store Windows instead of the original drive.

• Is it possible to immediately activate Windows 11 after I install it on the new drive using an installation disk?
  
• In case activation isn't possible because I don't own Windows 11 yet, would it work if I installed Windows 10 first and then upgraded to Windows 11 instead?
  
• Or would it not activate either copy of Windows 10 or 11 because my PC isn't recognized as the original due to the changed parts?
  

I would very much appreciate any help or suggestions.
