Just don't forget that the USB Flash is formatted at default settings. Don't choose soemthing wrong when you are formatting the Flash drive, leave it to default. From my experience, I had issues while installing Windows 11, so keep an eye out on that
@@AM_Agro Yeah, you gotta have to use rufus to put that iso on to your usb drive. The Windows Installation Media never worked for me and will ALWAYS give me that error. But with Rufus, everything works fine. You gotta have to have a second computer, laptop, or you have to do this before you reinstall the windows. I was lucky that I have a backup laptop.

There are lots of key sellers and free tools available to activate Windows 11. I tried a few different sources, including eBay, but they all stopped working after a couple of months. It was frustrating when my Windows kept deactivating. Once, my laptop crashed, and I couldn’t reactivate the key because it wasn’t valid anymore. Then I found a reliable company and haven't had any issues since. Even their prices were fair enough.
Where did you get Windows 11 because the last one I installed gave me a lot of errors and now I'm looking for another one so I can do what's in the video
Followed your guide 5 years ago for the rx 50 and ryzen 5 build, and slowly upgraded that pc. And now I just finished building my new rig with a R7 7800x3d and a 4080 Super. Thanks for all the years of great build guides and hard work Joey!
Dude. You helped me out so much. I was having problems, and tried several things, but that part of deleting the partitions helped. Thank you so much for your videos. I've been subscribed for years. You motivated me to build. Thanks again.
I did a re-install of the Windows11 OS, but see the previous data in my personal folders still exists under the new setup, thought it will do a clean install where the old data is deleted. I see the data in other folders (e.g. Download, Documents, Misic, Pictures..etc, has been removed. Any suggestion?
Hey Joey, I've heard rumors about Windows 11 having lots of issues. I just need to ask if you recommend moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11? I still have the free Windows 10 that you gave me waay back and it works perfectly. Thank you again for all the help!
You don’t need to upgrade right now. I’d just ride out with your free windows 10 until it stops getting support (some time in 2025) then you can upgrade to windows 11. By then it will probably have most bugs fixed.
I built a SICK gaming PC for my son for his birthday. Intel 13900K, 64Gb DDR5 6000mhz ram, AMD rx 7900 xtx GPU, 4TB NVME SSD storage drive. Liquid cooled with an Arctic 360 AIO. He wants to start streaming and a RUclips gaming channel. That sucker can Rock & Roll!!!
Technically you're supposed to pay for a license, but MS lets you run W10/11 indefinitely without one. You won't be able to personalize your PC and a watermark appears. Other than that, everything works the same as if you paid for it.
Just to make sure if i buy the usb from your site it will be windows installed right? I am trying to get windows 10 and i was wondering if I could just plug the usb in right away without installing one myself.
No, you will just have a USB installation media ready + activated Windows. You have to go through the same processes that Joey showed in this video after creation of the USB (i.e., booting into the media and installing Windows). It's much preferred to create an installation media USB of your own and then input a key that you bought online as the freshly prepared USB will have the latest OS so less updates (even though it won't be much of a difference if you have fast internet regardless), but yeah, I always prefer making my own USB and just using a key.
@@kaeezwould this be like buying windows 11 usb from amazon? i built my pc and only need to add a operating system (windows) so im watching this video to help but after reading your comment im a little confused
@@SimoneNikkolette7 Okay so basically, if you make the USB yourself (as shown in this video) you will get Windows installed but it won't be activated (so you'll have to buy a key later and add it). But if you get a pre-made USB off of Amazon, you will be able to install Windows the same way as shown in the latter half of this video but also since it comes with a key it'll be activated, so you won't have to buy one later. Hope that makes sense and enjoy your newly built PC!
When asked to delete a partition, you get a warning label that mentions there may be important data for the os on there. Have you run into any problems when doing that? Or always has been okay? Thanks!
Yes i did... i was installing win 10 and deleting the partition effectively fd up my disk.. i didnt believe this tutorial so i made this mistake only on one of the disks and now im trying to recover the data... so much fun. If you dont want to loose data 1. make a backup, 2. unplug all the other disks.. its so easy to make a mistake
Whenever I try to install windows it goes to the very end and says it’s gonna restart my pc. When it turns back on I’m at the beginning of the windows installer again
Actually, I would recommend saying that after the first installation, when the files are being copied to the hard drive, it is better to disconnect the flash drive because it could start the installation of windows again. Great video!
Finally I got windows from keyr (Make sure to include the dot (.) between "keyr" and "org") I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is. For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
So I’m late to the video but I did this with windows 10. Same dude same video just with windows 10. The only down side that I noticed is there was a watermark at the bottom right but it’s not super noticeable and blends in eventually in my opinion. It does say in some areas that you need to purchase a key to customize certain settings but never really had an issues with it.

Great video, I'm selling my gaming PC to a family member and downgrading from windows 11 pro to windows 11 home. Don't you wish there was an easier way from the Windows Update settings menu to do so.
I have a problem, when i boot up to the flash drive it is stuck on the eindows 11 logo splash nothing else is shown on the screen other thsn the logo. Can you please help me get it unstuck
This may or may not help. Try updating the BIOS to the latest BIOS version. Sometimes a new version can help with Windows 11 install issues. If it still doesn't help, try remaking the USB installer.
Will i still need a license key if i use this method? Going to be building my first gaming pc in a few days and was going to buy the product from amazon but a friend pointed me to this video and wasnt sure if it’d let me use windows for the majority of things i need without purchasing a license or if i’d still have to
So I’m gonna build a pc, and to download windows 11, I don’t need another device to download windows 11 on the flash drive and than import that into the PC, I can just do it all on the newly built PC?
I can't vouch for it since I've never bought one from him. But if it does work, which most likely does, then yeah it should just be plug and play. You don't need the USB plugged in after you install Windows. Its only used to install it. That's it.
Great video. I have a new (2022) thin client ‘Dell Wyse 5070’. Can I install windows 11 on this thing? I want to remove the Enterprise office software and use it as a personal pc.
I’m doing a clean Windows 11 install on my Dell Laptop. Do I need to format the flash drive to NTFS before I download the file on there? Also, what option from the Windows 11 will boot and install on my laptop?
No you don't usually need to worry about formatting. The tool will handle that for you. Not sure what you mean by that last question. You boot from the USB drive and go through the install process as he shows in the video
Technically yes. You're supposed to buy a license for Windows. Unofficially, Microsoft lets you run W11 indefinitely without buying a license. You won't be able to personalize your PC and a watermark appears. other than that, everything works the same as if you buy a key.
Thank you so much for this! I got one of your USB's on your website (built my own PC and a previous Mac user) and I was pulling my hair out. It literally took like 10 minutes after I got the USB to get it installed.

I'm just watching the video and I'm like, no way this guy has the exact same laptop as me, it's pretty cool.
Does windows or any files disappear on the old computer or does it just copy over windows installation files to the usb?
No. The tool doesn't affect your files on the PC its running on. It only downloads a fresh copy of Windows 11 and creates a bootable flash drive.
@@JJFlores197 thx
Thank you so much, I was having an issue putting windows on a SSD i wanted to reuse and to start from scratch on in a new built pc but keep getting error on windows setup and it was because of the partitions. I am really glad you included the part about deleting the partition in the advance setup instructions!
Been piling up parts for the last month and building my firsy pc tomorrow, thx for this tutorial so i can install windows 11 on the new rig!
Little tip:
If you download the file on your pc, extract the file onto the usb and open it from there
Just finished building my first pc and downloading this now THANK YOU!!!👍🏻
What changes we have to make in bios except "xmp profile" and "re-sizeable bars" is there anything else I have to do?
dude you do not know for how long ive been searching a video on this!!! iwas on zorin os and i hated it tso i wanted to come back and this did it!!1 thank you sooooooooo much
Thanks for this. I was being a complete numpty and looking for a setup.exe application and couldn't understand why it wasn't there. Appreciate your help in getting me upgraded.
Great video, I'm selling my gaming PC to a family member and downgrading from windows 11 pro to windows 11 home. Don't you wish there was an easier way from the Windows Update settings menu to do so.
I’m building a new AMD computer with a 4070. This is such a useful video to instal windows 11
Can the external disk with the media creation tool then be repurposed? or does it become useless (or only useful for that? after usage?
I have a problem, when i boot up to the flash drive it is stuck on the eindows 11 logo splash nothing else is shown on the screen other thsn the logo. Can you please help me get it unstuck
This may or may not help. Try updating the BIOS to the latest BIOS version. Sometimes a new version can help with Windows 11 install issues. If it still doesn't help, try remaking the USB installer.
Is there a website you would recommend getting an activation code from?
kinguin or sum like that
Will i still need a license key if i use this method? Going to be building my first gaming pc in a few days and was going to buy the product from amazon but a friend pointed me to this video and wasnt sure if it’d let me use windows for the majority of things i need without purchasing a license or if i’d still have to
So I’m gonna build a pc, and to download windows 11, I don’t need another device to download windows 11 on the flash drive and than import that into the PC, I can just do it all on the newly built PC?
Also another question after installing it on your new pc, can you unplug the USB?
I can't vouch for it since I've never bought one from him. But if it does work, which most likely does, then yeah it should just be plug and play. You don't need the USB plugged in after you install Windows. Its only used to install it. That's it.
you need another device to download windows
does this effect your performance?
wdym
Great video. I have a new (2022) thin client ‘Dell Wyse 5070’. Can I install windows 11 on this thing? I want to remove the Enterprise office software and use it as a personal pc.
Why does it say "this pc doesnt currently meet windows 11 system requirements" but you said I'd have no problem following your build guides?
I’m doing a clean Windows 11 install on my Dell Laptop. Do I need to format the flash drive to NTFS before I download the file on there? Also, what option from the Windows 11 will boot and install on my laptop?
No you don't usually need to worry about formatting. The tool will handle that for you. Not sure what you mean by that last question. You boot from the USB drive and go through the install process as he shows in the video
Dude, you should be in the Hollywood. You'll do a very good side roles
Quick question. I am building my PC right now, I only have a wireless keyboard and mouse, will this be a problem?
Using this video to install an SSD and OS onto my mom's computer, thanks for the help!!
W vid 🔥💯. Joey what mouse and keyboard you use on your other videos?
Thanks brother, second time I've used your PC build guides.
Thanks for making it clear, the other videos had me going in circles, yours fixed me up!! I have windows 11 now, thank again...
Once installed, does it require a Key? Or something on the screen will say you need to activate it?
Technically yes. You're supposed to buy a license for Windows. Unofficially, Microsoft lets you run W11 indefinitely without buying a license. You won't be able to personalize your PC and a watermark appears. other than that, everything works the same as if you buy a key.
Thank you so much for this! I got one of your USB's on your website (built my own PC and a previous Mac user) and I was pulling my hair out. It literally took like 10 minutes after I got the USB to get it installed.
Thank you sooooo much for this video.. you literally saved me a couple hundred not having to take in for repair or diagnostics to figure out the issue with my sons computer.. he’s definitely happy about the and not having to be without his computer for a couple weeks.
Wished life was this simple.
Thank you man.
What do I do if it says windows cannot install required files . The file may be corrupted or missing . Sorry my first time building a pc
Nvm fixed it!
@@anthonycalderon3767how did u fix it
Will you be able to get Windows updates with this process?
of course.
I’ve just gotten windows onto my usb and done this but when I reboot it comes up with a black screen with a flashing underscore at the top right ?
We’ve all sinned man. We’ve lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, and more. We now need to repent and trust that Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross. This is very urgent tomorrow isn’t promised. Our works can’t save us but Jesus can!
Is this the same for windows 10? I heard it runs better for games
Thanks this video is gonna be real helpful for when I install my new 2tb ssd. Tired of having to use this 256gb nvme ssd and the 2tb HDD that came with this desktop
