Hello

It seems you're encountering an issue with reinstalling Windows 11 even though your computer meets the requirements and has been running it for over a year.

 

Firstly, ensure that your computer's firmware is up-to-date. Sometimes, BIOS/UEFI updates are necessary to maintain compatibility with the latest operating systems.

 

Secondly, check that Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are enabled in your BIOS/UEFI settings, as these are required for Windows 11 installation.

 

If you've already checked these and the issue persists, you might want to consider using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or the Media Creation Tool to create a fresh installation media. Sometimes, the USB boot media can become corrupted or outdated, leading to such errors.

 

Additionally, there's a possibility that a recent update or change in the system configuration might be causing compatibility issues. You can use the PC Health Check app to reassess your system's compatibility with Windows 11.

 

For more detailed technical information, you can refer to the Microsoft documentation on Windows 11 installation errors. These resources provide a comprehensive guide on troubleshooting various installation issues, including steps to use the Installation Media and resolving error codes.
