    I used this guide to install Windows 11 on a corrupted Windows 10 PC that I was locked out of. It worked like a charm (I did it as a new install because I did not care about the data). Your delivery was amazing and that you guys decided to not be lazy and went ahead and utilized RUclips Chapters properly was indispensable. I went ahead and subscribed. Thank you.

    This was just the best! You have no idea how many videos for installing windows fresh on a new drive there are on youtube BUT they ALL skip something or run through it so quick like the viewer is a tech pro and they know exactly what they're talking about. If that was the case I don't think they would be watching a windows install tutorial. My point is that your video is the ONLY tutorial I found on youtube which takes you from scratch through all the steps in a clear and well paced manner all the way to the end. This is it, this is the Neo of windows fresh install to new drive tutorials! More than earned a sub! Thanks!

I was completely in panic.After 5-6 days of searching the internet for solution and 4-5 calls to the customer care nothing worked and i competely lost hope.But just randomly found this video and after following all the steps, boom my laptop started working.

I've built a number of systems over the past 10+ years and was always leery of using flash drive to install Win system.

But, thanks again - very informative and useful video.

    Just finished following these very clear and concise steps to fix my pc which was stuck in a repair bootloop and refusing to load windows. Managed to figure out which hard drive was which so I installed the os to the correct one and my pc is back up and running with a fresh window install. Even has my old c drive files in a windows.old folder so all is not lost. Thank you so much for your helpful video! Saved me dragging my gaming rig to a repair shop! #subbed.

    Please Notice it's urgent🙏 I had created bootable installation media on USB to enter in WinRe to repair system. But repair didn't worked so I need to reinstall Windows. But I want to keep my data and files. And I have c,d,f,e,g,h,x drives and windows is on G drive and I want to keep the data of c,d,ef,h drives so what should I select while reinstall . Also before creating bootable USB do I need to set it to NTFS ? Please reply

    • @HelpCloud
      @HelpCloud  3 года назад +2

      You may want to unplug all your other drives except your G drive. This will make the selection easier. Set G drive to NTFS.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I bought a Dell 8940 XPS a couple of months ago from Amazon. The PC was configured with an I7 CPU, 64GB RAM, a 1 terabyte hard drive and a 2 terabyte SSD drive. I'm disabled and use Dragon Naturally Speaking a lot so I figured this PC would be plenty fast and powerful enough to handle the dictation software and all the other programs I run. FYI, I bought the new pc to replace a ten-year-old dell XPS that also had an Intel i7 chip and was running Windows 7(Windows 7 being that OS I would take if I could have only one). Also had 12 gigs of RAM so it was a very fast machine. Unfortunately, it's hard drive failed as did the DVD burner so I figured it was time to get a whole new pc.
    Unfortunately, when the new PC was delivered, I discovered the OS was installed on the hard drive rather than the SSD drive. I was so PO'd when I found this out. I didn't want to return the PC, so I started looking into what my options were to get Windows 10 on the SSD.. I read articles about cloning hard drives which sounded like an option. I was really hoping to get the SSD drive that was installed in the machine replaced by one with Win 10 loaded on it. Problem is, by the time I contacted the Amazon Marketplace seller that built the machine, my 30-day return window was up and there wasn't much they could do for me. But one of their tech support reps did tell me it was pretty easy to install Windows 10 on the SSD drive using a USB thumb drive. He sent me the Microsoft link to use and so I started researching the subject and your video was the first I saw and it's great! Very informative!
    I do have one question. When I asked the tech support rep about how the OS license key is handled, he said it's probably stored on the machine and when I run the install process, windows will locate the license key itself. Will this still happen if I choose to install a local user profile rather than a user profile through microsoft.com? I'm assuming it will but just want to be sure.
    By the way, this process seems a little easier than cloning a hard drive, at least from the videos on cloning I saw. is it easier? Thanks again and any other info you feel might be helpful is greatly appreciated!

    Pro tip: Your laptop has to be connected to a power outlet for this to work. If not, it will just continue the boot loop over and over again

    You are a God send. I'd like to add though you don't actually need a key for windows 10. You just won't have the customization capabilities gor backgrounds and Taskbar. Nothing major happens at all. Compared to the old operating systems. It's totally doable.

    I enjoyed that. Probably the last OS I actually enjoyed learning and scripting. Limited, obviously, and you had to know what you were doing, but it did what you needed it to do all from a simple command line.
    Files could be copied between computers using LAPLink, and a 386DX or 486 could play doom without Windows 3.1/3.11 being installed (how very important is that!)
    Anyway, thanks for the video. Very well done, nicely paced, good content.

Well, I did this and at 5:38 he mentioned that it would wipe out your data right after i had already clicked "next". So yeah, if you are impatient and skip through some parts you might make the same mistake as me and lose some data like I did
