Its just the hdd. I use a weaker system as a webbrowser machine and its nice and fast. Hard drives are just terrible to run an os on these days.

So i plugged in my old pc with i7 4790, rx 580 8gb, 16gb ddr3 and an 465gb HDD, i wanna give it to my little cousin but the pc just stays on 7% complete, i was wondering if i need an ethernet cable or i just let the pc do its thing?

also it said "restarting" and it took a long time and it still didnt restart so i restarted it manually, did i mess it up by doing so?

Just let it run for a few hours. "Working on updates" is installing stuff that was already downloaded, so no need for a connection.

Since it's running an HDD it's likely stuff will be excruciatingly slow.

Would also probs be a good idea to force win 11 using rufus on it so they arent unsafe on the web. A cheap ssd will also like hilariously speed up the process.

 

Good chance it will take days to complete with a hdd.

you either give it some time and try to fix the install, OR plug the windows 11 USB burnt with rufus with the option to bypass the TPM control and reinstall everything in a new partition of the same HDD, after installing the new partition just copy the old data you can't lose and format the old partition, then extend the new one into the old one.

 

OR buy an SSD and plug it in, unplug the HDD, install windows 11 with TMP control bypassed in your new SSD, plug the HDD in an enclosure, backup the data you need to backup and forget about that HDD.

 

i would go the cheap SSD route to be completely honest (something on the line of a silicon power ones, they are good, not the fastest but reliable and cheap)

then it's just a matter of time, sometimes even on very fast nvme drives windows likes to take it's time, at work i have a pcie gen 4 nvme and for some reasons it can take up to 5+ minutes to update, i don't know why honestly

it's a mix of everything but the HDD it's most likely to be the biggest slowdown, specially if it's a 5400rpm, in that case it's probably 70% of the slowdown culprit

I have a machine running a cpu a generation older than that and on SSD it works. Currently use it as a Plex media server, but it boots up fast. You be surprised what an SSD can do. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
