How can I fresh install window 11

i have 512 gm nvme ssd in my laptop but it is not showing it

Hello Suraj,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community. I’ll be glad to assist you today.

You have shared a screenshot showing that your system does not meet the storage requirements. It shows 28 GB, but Windows 11 requires a 64 GB or larger storage device.

Please follow this link for more details: Windows 11 Specifications.(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows...)

Here is the process for a fresh install of Windows 11:

1. Create a Bootable USB Drive:

o Download the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft’s website.(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...)

o Run the tool and select “Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC.”

o Choose the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit).

o Select “USB flash drive” and follow the prompts to create the bootable USB drive.

2. Boot from the USB Drive:

o Insert the bootable USB drive into your laptop.

o Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F2, F10, Delete, or Esc during startup).

o Change the boot order to prioritize the USB drive.

o Save the changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings.

3. Install Windows 11:

o Your laptop should now boot from the USB drive. Follow the on-screen instructions to start the Windows 11 installation.

o When prompted, select “Custom: Install Windows only (advanced).”

o You should see a list of partitions. Select the partition where Windows is currently installed (usually the largest partition) and delete it. This will remove the existing Windows installation.

o Select the unallocated space and click “Next” to install Windows 11 on this partition.

4. Complete the Installation:

o Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

o Once Windows 11 is installed, you can restore your backed-up files.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Partition Issues: If the partition isn’t showing up, make sure the drive is properly connected and recognized in the BIOS/UEFI settings.

• Driver Issues: Ensure all necessary drivers are installed after the fresh installation, especially for your storage devices.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I will be happy to help you further.

just Just confirm if your hard drive is showing in the BIOS. If yes, and you are using an Intel processor, you need to download the f6flpy-x64.zip file available in the downloads section of Intel Rapid Storage drivers on the Intel website here(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/downloa...). Save it on a different USB device. After saving the file to the USB, plug in the drive during installation and then select the “Load Drivers” option to find and locate the storage drivers from the USB.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know, and I will be happy to help you further.

Best regards,
