- If you have not run the Windows11 compatibility checker yet, please run it first.

- If Windows already cleared your PC to run Windows11, then install it by upgrading from your licensed Windows 10 system.

This is what i did.  Sat through the upgrade process in Windows update.  tried it for a day then installed it again fresh from a USB stick (windows STILL can't handle 'upgrading' from one OS to the next XD

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!

While in BIOS mode, enable your TPM (virtual hardware 2.0) and under Secure Boot, select "Standard". Then in Windows boot sequence, select Windows UEFI(OS). Save and Reboot. Then running PC health again for Windows 11. If it already passed this time, then install Windows 11.

From what you are showing, you have multiple drives on your system.

 

If I were to guess: Windows Setup installs it's boot process to the first drive that the motherboard reports. Every motherboard reports this differently. Some will be NVMe drive, other SATA0/1 (which ever is the starting point number).

 

If you have installed Windows with multiple drive, then there it could happen that Windows was installed on a drive that is different that the reported "first drive" returned by the motherboard to Windows setup.

 

If that is the case, it too needs to be converted from MBR to GPT as well.

 

If that is indeed the problem, to avoid this problem in the future, it is best to just leave 1 drive in the system when installing Windows, forcing the motherboard to return the only drive on the system, so that Windows setup installs completely there (and not split), and then connect your secondary drives.

 

Yes it is annoying, they should give you the option, or better yet, assume that the selected drive is where you want Windows. But it is what it is, Microsoft never updated the installer since Vista, sadly. (Beside a background change for WIn7 and Win8)
