Hello YouTube. This is Praveen for TechEmpty. Here In this video, we'll show you how to
install Windows 11 on a new PC or an unsupported computer without the need for editing registry
files or coding. This is super simple to follow. First, watch the full video and then
follow the instructions later by replaying it. Step 1: Gather the necessary files and tools.
To install Windows 11 from a bootable USB, you need to have three things:
First one, Windows 11 ISO file: To download, visit microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
and navigate to the "Download Windows 11 Disk Image" section.
Select Windows 11 from the dropdown menu and click "Download Now."
Choose your preferred language from the list, confirm your selection, and finally download
the Windows 11 ISO image. (I've already downloaded the latest disk image file.)
Second one, Rufus tool: Download a free tool to create a bootable Windows 11 USB drive.
Visit rufus.ie, scroll to the middle and choose to get the portable version of Rufus
(it's about 1.3MB). Third one, USB pendrive:
You'll need at least an 8GB USB pendrive to install Windows 11 from a bootable USB.
Step 2: Create a bootable USB using Rufus
Open the Rufus tool and select the pendrive in the "Device" section.
In the "Boot Selection" section, set it to "Disk or ISO Image"
and select the Windows 11 ISO that we just downloaded from Microsoft's website.
Keep the Image option as "Standard Windows Installation."
Choose "Partition scheme" as MBR. You can rename the "Volume label" if you wish,
but there is no need to change any other options. When you're ready, click "Start."
Step 3: Customize the installation settings
Pay close attention to this dialogue box: If you have a new generation computer with TPM 2.0
module enabled, uncheck the "Remove requirement for 4GB+RAM, Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0" option.
If your computer does not support Windows 11 and lacks a TPM module, check this option.
Since my PC doesn't have a TPM module, I'm checking this option.
Click "OK" when you're ready. Rufus will format the entire drive in this step.
Make sure to back up your pendrive if it contains any important files.
Step 4: Create the bootable USB
Rufus will now create a bootable USB pendrive with Windows 11. The process should take around
10 minutes. Once completed, close Rufus, and your Windows 11 installation media is ready.
Step 5: Boot from the USB drive Insert the pendrive into the
computer that needs a fresh Windows 11 installation and restart the computer.
Change the boot priority by pressing the BIOS key (usually F2 or Del key).
Look up the specific key for your laptop model with a simple Google search.
In the BIOS, go to the "Boot" option and set the pendrive as the first option under "Boot
option priorities." Save your selection by pressing the appropriate key (F10 for me).
Step 6: Install Windows 11 The system will detect the
installation media and boot from it. Select your language and click "Install Now."
Enter your product key if you have one, or select "I don't have a product key." Choose your desired
Windows version (e.g., Windows 11 Home or Windows 11 Pro) if you chose I don’t have a product key.
Since my product key is for Windows 11 Pro, it automatically detects the version.
Accept the license agreement and choose "Custom Install" for a fresh
installation of Windows 11 from USB. This will delete all files from the C drive only.
Be careful not to select any other drives, as this will erase all files stored on them.
Delete the first four partitions related to the C drive.
If you need a dedicated video about this step, please let me know.
Create an empty partition from the unallocated disk space by selecting "New,"
then click "Apply." This will automatically create a few system and MSR reserved partitions.
Choose the partition with the most storage and click "Next." Windows
11 will now install on your PC from the bootable USB in about 10 to 20 minutes.
Step 7: Configure and update Windows 11 Follow the onscreen instructions to
set up Windows 11 (e.g., your name, password, Wi-Fi, privacy options, etc.).
After reaching the Windows 11 desktop, go to Settings and select Windows Update. You can
download updates without any issues, even if you installed Windows 11 on an unsupported computer.
That's it! You've successfully installed Windows 11 from a bootable USB. If you found this video
