So Windows 11 is finally out and we can all download and install the full version and
take advantage of it which is great so in this video I’m going to show you from start to finish
how to create the install media and then how to install Windows 11 on your pc newer old so
let's get started so first off we'll click on the start button and just type TPM.MSC
and press enter now this will tell us if your computer supports TPM okay so we can see right
over here TPM is ready for use so TPM or trusted platform module is a security a device placed on
your motherboard it would have already come with your motherboard or can be enabled through bios
updates that puts a form of encryption on your storage your m.2 SSD your mechanical hard drive
your regular SSD so that if your drive and your motherboard become separated that information
on the drive is essentially worthless I’m sure somehow it can be decrypted but for the most part
that drive is worthless that information is worthless and a hacker or whatever can't
get to it supposedly anyway let's check that that was on an AMD platform let's
check on an intel platform real quick so that was on the EVGA x570 dartboard
this is on the EVGA z390 dartboard this is an intel platform the last one was an AMD platform
thankfully both are ready for TPM use let me show you what it looks like on intel in the bios
so come over here under advanced configuration and then we'll go over here into advanced
trusted computing and then we'll see security device support enabled
TPM 2.0 UEFI spec version TGC underscore 2 and then of course to show you that it shows up here
TPM 20 device found to let you know that TPM is enabled on this board so as I mentioned before
the first one was an AMD platform the second one being an intel platform so it'll work both ways
now it just has to be if your board is supported some boards are supported some boards aren't you
can find out for sure on your motherboard support site so Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, Asrock, whoever it
may be check on their websites for your board and check on the support site for your motherboard
manual your motherboard manual will tell you for certain if your motherboard supports TPM now let
me know down in the comments below if no matter what your board still doesn't have TPM I’ll see if
I can put together a guide on how to make Windows 11 work even on boards that don't support TPM
so now with that out of the way let's go ahead and create the media to install Windows 11.
I’ll have a link to this website down in the description below but first check out the video
and then of course you can follow along afterwards so we'll come to this website and then we'll click
create Windows installation media and download now then we'll just go ahead and open that up
make sure to read through all of this and accept if English is not your native language uncheck
this and create whichever version you'd like but I’ll leave this unchecked regardless of that
then I’ll click next okay USB flash drive it is an eight gig drive so I’ll go ahead and click
next here I already have one inserted by the way and so it picks it up here it's already a
Windows 10 drive I’m just going to go ahead and reuse it for Windows 11 and click next
so creating the media is going to take a few seconds depending on your bandwidth
and of course your pc speed now the Windows 10 of course when I bought it it has a key
I have the legal key right over here like Windows 10 you don't have to put in a key to install it
and it will let you use it for whatever period of time and then of course you're going to get
that watermark on the bottom right hand corner of your screen regardless it will still work
all right now my flash drive is now ready so click finish make sure because if not it won't
be complete it does its little thing towards the end now we'll go ahead and just close out of here
we'll come here file explorer and you can see this is the Windows 11
installer so we'll go ahead and restart the pc and go into the bios
now mind you every single motherboard is going to have a different sort of bias but
the method is going to be relatively the same we'll go into advanced configurations
enter setup and we go into advanced now you're going to want to make sure to
come into trusted computing make sure your security device support is set to enable
and below that your TPM 2.0 UEFI spec version to tcg-2 then coming out of here on AMD boards you
are given the on some AMD boards you're given AMD fTPM configuration that's more for working with
bitlocker a feature of Windows I don't myself like to use bitlocker so I’ll just leave that disabled
you can go ahead and enable it if you'd like now coming out of there we'll come over to boot
if you have a new motherboard it's always going to be on UEFI older motherboards you want to make
sure that you're not on legacy you're set to UEFI, UEFI will give you this kind of GUI bios
though there are different methods of achieving it that motherboard manufacturers have enabled but
for the most part it'll give you this GUI so just make sure it's set to UEFI you can see right over
here we have boot option number one that's my USB thumb drive boot option two since my SSD already
has Windows on it the one that you saw me already downloaded from you're going to see Windows
boot manager and that will be there when you do Windows 11 but you'll see that during the install
and then you want to make sure that UEFI generic flash is the first boot option and
then in case you have multiple just select it here under boot option number one so now
we'll go ahead save and exit under boot override we're going to go ahead select UEFI generic flash
select your language time in currency and keyboard input method and we'll go next
install now if you have a key you can enter it here now for me since I do so many of
these install videos I generally don't use my install key I use the free version they
let you use for a while the key I use more from my workstation and select I don't have a product key
select your version of Windows 11 or the version that you're going to buy a key for if you do
end up buying a key mine is pro make sure to read through all this incredibly important information
click I accept next if you already have Windows 10 installed on your SSD or mechanical drive
you can always choose upgrade I don't like to do that because if you have a tiny issue on your
previous install when you do an upgrade it becomes a tremendous issue or can over time so I always
do custom brand new install so I select custom now all of those drive zeros are part of the
same drive they say drive zero and then all the partitions under it so I like to delete each and
every partition to create one entire drive now if you have other drives in the machine I recommend
you unplug them all just from power or data whichever of the two you don't need both probably
data if the machine is on disconnect all of those and then click refresh that way that your current
drive the drive that you want to install Windows on is the only drive because if not the Windows
blue partition is going to be spread across all the other drives so if you disconnect one later
on it might create an actual issue when you go to boot from your SSD anyway let's get back to it
under drive 0 on allocated space next
now if this is like Windows 10, this part the install will take probably less than seven minutes
all right and you can either wait for it or just click restart now I’ll click restart now
all right so this already looks a little bit different than Windows 10 so we'll select our
language or our country of region and yes keyboard layout us we'll go ahead and skip keyboard layout
all right let's name your device
and we'll do next
all right so we'll set it up for personal use and next
let's add your Microsoft account so let's see sign in options sign in with a security key
offline account forgot my username for now I’m going to do offline account
and then one account for everything cool skip for now
enter your name, Iggy and I don't want a password so I just press enter on that and
make sure to read through all of this but for now I’m just going to go ahead and click accept
this looks nice
all right so we're now in Windows 11 a lot of people are kind of weirded out about everything
being moved over to the center I kind of like it it's different it's new it's you
know you'll get used to it these are all the pinned apps which is nice used to be over here
and you'd have to scroll through it now it's in the center your settings now one of the
first things you're going to want to do aside from install the drivers and everything which
I have a separate video I’ll go ahead and link that up but after you install all those drivers
one of the most important things you're going to want to do is a Windows update and then you know
download all of the updates now a new update just came out it was probably this one just came out
so this is definitely important to do now mind you the video I linked up above a few seconds ago
shows you how to install all of the drivers for your particular motherboard to make sure
you get the most performance out of your system Windows update is going to have all
or most of those drivers but they're generally not the best for your system if they do work perfectly
they're going to give you mediocre performance at best if you use the specific drivers you're
going to get the most performance that you can out of your system of course aside from
overclocking and all that other stuff you could potentially do and as always please do go ahead
and leave a comment below if you have any kind of questions comments or concerns I do reply to
every one of them and as always please do click like and subscribe it helps me out a ton that way
I can keep bringing you bigger and better videos just like this this is Iggy with ThisBytesForYou,
showing you how to install Windows 11 from start to finish, Iggy out, see you guys
