Thanks for advice on deletion all old partitions. I didn't do that before (I reused main SSD on new mobo) and after a week windows updatea bricked my PC. I hope I won't encounter any problems now
You don’t have to enter bios settings to change the boot order. On msi you can turn on your pc or restart it and spam F11 to enter a one time boot menu. Select your usb and bam. Does asus not have a one time boot menu?
Do you have to delete those other partitions? I always get scared at this part, you don’t format anything here right? You just click on the drive you want and that’s it? Did you have to delete the recovery drive? I just don’t understand this. I feel stupid. I don’t know what to do. I have one nvme ssd, and one sata ssd. It’s not gonna mess up anything deleting all those drives? Why does the 465 drive have 400 gb of free space? Isn’t there windows on it? This where I’m confused I think. How can you install windows on that drive if there’s one already on it? Do you have to format it like I was saying? Why didn’t the drive 0 disappear when you deleted it ? It just back to unallocated space
Don't mess up anything just clean everything you have on the drive. With you don't have any backup, it's better to delete all partitions. But with you have any backup you can choose what you want to delete
First and for most, you have to make backup; you have to make a partition where your data is on before you make clear install. The other thing i want to tell you is that unallocated space (Drive) has its recovery, system and local disk partition. When you delete other partitions, they are on the old drive, but unallocated space has its drive complete, you just to keep if you make a partition whichs on your data where you enter the data before installation.
Clean installing with a USB is the most thorough method of starting fresh, offering complete control over the installation process and is typically used when fixing more severe issues or setting up a new system.
hey i have a brand new hp laptop windows 11 but am going to change 8gb to 16gb also changed the ssd to 500gb do i have to make a back up before reinstalling windows 11?
I got a generic mini PC with a Intel N100 processor, those have no screen built in so you have to connect it to a external TV via hdmi, so how would I clean install Windows 11 as the keyboard is not built into the thing it would be connected via a wireless USB receiver transmitter
Well it currently already has Windows 11 pro loaded on it and of course so it works with the Wi-Fi keyboard and mouse my problem is I want to do a clean install because I don't trust that there's nothing bad hidden in the software that came from the generic mini PC seller on Amazon that I bought it from
Well i just figured out that I deleted the drivers for wifi and Ethernet when you told us to delete everything except the ssd you want windows on now im in deep shit DONT DELETE FILES/STORAGE WHEN PICKING WHERE TO INSTALL WINDOWS
You may have missed the warnings at the start that specified to back up any data on the drives being used if you want to keep them. But I would also suggest it is best to get the latest drivers from the support website since those would be the most up to date ones to use.
This is when you have a new system that you built or you want a completely clean install of the OS. No old files so always backup any data that you want to keep to another drive.
@@KLEEBZTECH could you still get the same result by doing “reset this PC” once it gets upgraded to windows 11? Or does that not completely wipe the settings
@@SaintJ92 reset this PC will reset back to original install. If on a prebuilt one that can include other software. A clean install is just Windows and no bloat.
@@KLEEBZTECH so last question, if I fiddled with some internal OS settings while on windows 10, and I feel like those changes screwed some things up, would doing the automated upgrade to windows 11 in settings reset those settings back to normal? Or would those screwed up settings carry over with the automated upgrade? In other words do I need to do this “clean install” method to truly wipe the settings clean back to normal
It may or may not. I think it could depend on the settings. But you could do the upgrade and then do the Reset this PC option. You can then have it keep your files but reset Windows itself to default.
I need to ask, I'm currently trying to reinstall windows 11 on my laptop cause I tried the insiders preview, and the only way to get out of the preview quickly is by reinstalling a clean version of windows. I have gone all the way to the select drive to install on, but it doesn't show my laptops SSD (main and only storage). So now I'm stuck and don't know what to do.
When you select "Load driver" you would then need to point it to the driver needed for it to read your SSD drive. It sounds like it does not read the drive because it needs the driver for it.
You will need to go to the support site for the laptop if it is the same drive that came with it and get the driver needed. Then you can point it to that so it should see the drive.
Have confirmed you need 8GB of free space on your computer hard drive. I will mention that if your hard drive is that full you may want to free up some space to improve computer performance.
I made the mistake of selecting WIndows N.... Even though it worked fine and I got on with it.... I could not find a cheap key. So I ended up going back and using Pro, buying a cheap key, then de-bloating. So annyoying that is even neccessary. But we have to deal with reality, not What Ifs.... Not a fan of Win 11, but... its actually ok compared to Win 8, Vista. etc. I prefer xp, 2000, 7, 10.... but.... I'm not running a network anymore so..... pfffff. as long as it runs games and doesnt crash? OK.
@@kylekleeberg6422 Yeah, I FINALLY got my Adobe issue sorted. It wasn't Windows, it was Adobe...not a shock. However, I had to uninstall Nvidia Gforce Experience due to blue screen

Thank you so much
Correct! Everything seems to slow down when one is gazing into the screen watching Windows install or reinstall.
This a good tutorial. thank you for making this clear and easy to follow.
You're very welcome!

As far as I know most boards do. I just prefer to go into the BIOS myself.

When to remove Usb during installation, and do we need to change boot order after installation ?
Tks!!
what's that song in your outro?
whats the difference betwen reseting pc through setting and cloud downloading windows and clean installling windows with usb ?
Clean installing with a USB is the most thorough method of starting fresh, offering complete control over the installation process and is typically used when fixing more severe issues or setting up a new system.
i have windows 11 version 22H2 installed on my pc, can i just simply follow all your steps here to install the new 23H2 version on my pc?
This works for new or reinstalls so should be good.
what’s the difference between between clean installing windows 11 through file explorer and boot with f12 and select usb
are they same ?
its the same. but sometimes i think they dont recognize the USB
Have you had any problems with a blank screen right after the "use android" step
I never have run into that.
@@KLEEBZTECH alright thank you anyway!
Do i need to delete the old windows when doing a fresh install? or it just overrides it
Firstly you have to take your local disk backup, or make partition before you install, then make clean install when you're on the installation
hey i have a brand new hp laptop windows 11 but am going to change 8gb to 16gb also changed the ssd to 500gb do i have to make a back up before reinstalling windows 11?
If there is no data on it that you need then no need to worry about backing it up.
Thank you sooooo much🤎💪🏿
I habe bios rvy on my pc and system stuff like recorery and msr stuff. Do i have to delete those too? I am so sfraid of deleting too much
That is up to you. I normally wipe them all myself but if you want to be able to recover to factory install then you may want to leave those.
help i did everything right and am currently booting up to windows 11 after all the installations and it just my dell logo with no loading sign
What happened
I got a generic mini PC with a Intel N100 processor, those have no screen built in so you have to connect it to a external TV via hdmi, so how would I clean install Windows 11 as the keyboard is not built into the thing it would be connected via a wireless USB receiver transmitter
Have you tried and seen if it detects and uses the keyboard? I have had no issues with wireless keyboard and mouse that I can remember.
Well it currently already has Windows 11 pro loaded on it and of course so it works with the Wi-Fi keyboard and mouse my problem is I want to do a clean install because I don't trust that there's nothing bad hidden in the software that came from the generic mini PC seller on Amazon that I bought it from
It most likely will work. If not then you might need to find a cheap generic keyboard to use.
Well i just figured out that I deleted the drivers for wifi and Ethernet when you told us to delete everything except the ssd you want windows on now im in deep shit DONT DELETE FILES/STORAGE WHEN PICKING WHERE TO INSTALL WINDOWS
You may have missed the warnings at the start that specified to back up any data on the drives being used if you want to keep them. But I would also suggest it is best to get the latest drivers from the support website since those would be the most up to date ones to use.
hello, im currently doing this and im getting stuck on “setting devices ready” at 60%. any solutions?
u got it bro now
@@Raja-it8en yeah i fixed it just bought a new usb drive :p and remove the pc from the power for 5 mins and try again
what if my bios dont let me select usb as option 1
does the BIOS see the USB at all?
How is this different from just updating using the built in automatic one on the windows update settings tab
This is when you have a new system that you built or you want a completely clean install of the OS. No old files so always backup any data that you want to keep to another drive.

@@KLEEBZTECH yes, and when I attempt to "load drive" when I click on "this PC" it doesn't show a single drive only my USB and downloads and such
When you select "Load driver" you would then need to point it to the driver needed for it to read your SSD drive. It sounds like it does not read the drive because it needs the driver for it.
You will need to go to the support site for the laptop if it is the same drive that came with it and get the driver needed. Then you can point it to that so it should see the drive.
Just to give you an idea this is for HP laptops. support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_4859717-4859823-16
do you have to change drive d to ntfs becuase mine is fat32
If you are talking about the USB it will be wiped and formatted when you do it.
I’m getting errors even when I’m booting from the usb please help
Try creating your USB drive again. Maybe something got corrupted. What are you getting for errors?
@@KLEEBZTECH got it my ram wasn't pushed in all the way lol
@@PriorityPacks much better than some alternatives. 👍
Even when my usb is plugged in it’s saying “8gb of free disk space needed on (C:)”
How much free space do you have on your computer hard drive?
@@KLEEBZTECH I dont have 8gb of free space on my disk drive but I had a USB plugged in. For some reason that option isn't showing up for me.
@@stevetruong3190 I think you will need to have that free space on your hard drive. It needs to download to your computer to create the USB.
Have confirmed you need 8GB of free space on your computer hard drive. I will mention that if your hard drive is that full you may want to free up some space to improve computer performance.
It didnt give me option to choose windows 11 home , it went straight to license agreement 🤔
So i dont need to format my ssd before deleting partitions ?
Yes you don't need to

Win 11 Is about as bad as Win Vista was. Don't do it if you don't have to. Especially if you have Adobe or Nvidia apps, you WILL regret it.
I've been running it for about a year on multiple PCs without any issues on either AMD or Nvidia graphics
@@kylekleeberg6422 Yeah, I FINALLY got my Adobe issue sorted. It wasn't Windows, it was Adobe...not a shock. However, I had to uninstall Nvidia Gforce Experience due to blue screen
We'll all have to when they stop support for windows 10 in 2 years
