Windows 11 BSODing after first boot during install, tips? process1_initialization_failure

Hello!

I'm trying to install Windows 11 on my parents laptop, it's a Lenovo V130 14" Model 81HQ, series V130-14IKB with an Intel i5-7200U and TPM 2.0.
After the install is finished and it goes for the first restart/boot it instantly BSODs after the windows spinning wheel with process1_initialization_failure.

Any tips regarding this?

As far as I can tell the machine should be able to run Windows 11, tho I do not find the CPU in the list MS have, but I assume this isn't a hard limit?

 

If it cannot run Windows 11 I will either see if I can teach the basics of a Linux or setup one of those LTS Windows 10 editions. But hoping to just get Windows 11 going so things are familiar.

Bootable USB and I'm doing a fresh install so I wiped all the partitions before I installed

I have also tried with an unattended install to not have a MS account, trying again now with a new ISO that I made sure checked the SHA hash as well, just in case.

Did you try to install it again, twice?

Yes, two times with the same USB/ISO to just see if it was a one time thing, cleared the partitions both times. But made no difference, so I assumed maybe it was either the unattended setup or the image that was the problem.

Used unattended setup from here https://schneegans.de/windows/unattend-generator/ (link contains many arguments, removed from visual to not fill the whole page).
Worked fine in the past, with the exact same USB and image, so I was a bit confused on why it suddenly was a problem, which I at first (or sort of still think) maybe is a problem with the laptop and not the image.

Do you have a second drive to install Windows 11 onto your PC? I mean a boot drive, not the USB ISO.

No, it only has one and I do not have any spare right now. Do you think the drive is faulty or lack of drivers?

you could try download the iso image if windows 11 and using Rufus to turn it into a bootable drive on the usb.

That's what I did, using both a local iso and the english international iso

Did a full manual install now and it seems to be running fine, looks like the unattended setup is behind it, odd.
