Clean install of W11 (and also W10) won't work !


Just a note, the Microsoft MCT process saves the .iso file used to create a bootable DVD+R/DL disc, too big for a standard DVD disc. The USB process is best when the Thumb drive is 8GB or larger, it is not downloaded but writes the USB drive from their site. Also important is to choose that it will be used on a Different computer. The USB process wipes the drive completely and formats as it desires and does the streaming writing, not from a download to the computer. I've never had an issue with it and I use Verbatim 8GB Thumb drives [that company has reliably been producing floppy disks, CD discs, DVD discs and Thumb drives for a long time].

Good morning to all,
I tried all options to create a W install usb key and the result was proper. However all installs ended up in the same error message from the system. I could not install on any disk, even on the M2.
I checked the SDD with my old trustfull Linux spare laptop and the "faulty" disk looks ok: all files are there, they can be reached and opened.
So now I suspect the MSI mother board to have gone wrong somewhere. I will change it this afternoon.
Strange thing is that I could install Linux on this M2/Motherboard easily. Probably it is less touchy than W.
