reinstalling Windows 11 can often be the best course of action. This blog post will guide you through the
process of reinstalling Windows 11 step-by-step.

Before You Begin

Before you reinstall Windows 11, ensure you have backed up any important files and data. Reinstalling Windows
will erase all files and applications on your system, so it is crucial to save your data beforehand.

Create a Windows 11 Installation Media

You will need a Windows 11 installation media, such as a USB flash drive or DVD, to reinstall Windows 11.
Follow these steps to create one:

  1. Download the Windows 11 Installation
    Assistant    .
  2. Insert a USB flash drive with at least 8GB of storage or a blank DVD into your computer.
  3. Launch the Windows 11 Installation Assistant and follow the on-screen instructions to create an
    installation media for your preferred device.

Reinstalling Windows 11

With your installation media ready, follow these steps to reinstall Windows 11:

  1. Restart your computer with the installation media connected.
  2. Once your computer restarts, enter your system’s BIOS or UEFI settings. To do this, press the appropriate
    key (usually F2, F10, F12, or DEL) as
    soon as the manufacturer’s logo appears.
  3. Navigate to the Boot options menu and set your installation media as the primary boot device. This will
    vary depending on your system; refer to your motherboard’s manual for specific instructions.
  4. Save your changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI settings. Your computer will now boot from the installation
    media.
  5. When the Windows 11 setup screen appears, select your language, time and currency format, and keyboard
    layout. Click “Next.”
  6. Click on “Install now.”
  7. Enter your Windows 11 product key when prompted. If you do not have a product key, select “I don’t have a
    product key” to continue. You can enter your product key later after the installation is complete.
  8. Accept the license terms and click “Next.”
  9. Choose the “Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)” installation type.
  10. On the “Where do you want to install Windows?” screen, select the drive partition where you want to
    install Windows 11. Click “Next.”

process. Once the installation is complete, you will be guided through the initial setup, including creating a
user account and customizing your settings.
