But first of all, you need to make sure that your computer meets Windows 11 installation requirements, since errors related to Windows 11 installation requirements is the one that people encounter most often. The official requirements for this operating system include 8th generation Intel CPUs or newer 4GB of RAM, 46GB of disk space, TPM version 2, EFI and secure boot. It's not surprising that we do have a special video about installing the operating system without a TPM model and secure boot feature. Hello, friends!

Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles. So let's begin. To install Windows 11, you need 64GB of disk space or more. However, to download updates and use certain features, you may need some extra storage space. In our channel, you can find a video about clean installation of Windows. One of the trivial errors is low disk space. Windows 11 needs at least 46GB of more, so if you try to install the operating system on a partition smaller than that, you're going to get an error. Alright, so you start an installation of the operating system after choosing a disk for such installation and you got an error. We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one when trying to install Windows. The reason why a new partition can't be created is the existing partition structure on your hard disk or SSD. And this is the problem that prevents the installer from creating their required system partitions. It occurs when you used to have another operating system installed on that partition before. It marks available partitions as System, Primary and MSR, which stands for Microsoft Resort Partition. To fix this error, remove all devices from USB ports and repeat your attempt. Also, try removing the installation USB disk when you see this error, then plug it back and click refresh. If it doesn't help, take the following steps, but remember that this method will erase all data on the disk. Click on any partition of the hard disk and click Delete. It would be better to remove all partitions from Drive Zero. After that, you'll see a warning that this partition might contain important files or applications. Click OK. Then right-click on the unallocated space and click Next. It starts the Windows installation process. Also, another variant is when the operating system is installed on a disk which was previously used to store data. That is, you'll need to shrink the volume and free up some space to create a system partition. In this case, go to the Setup menu. Press the key shortcut Shift-F10. In the command prompt, type the command disk part. Press Enter. Type the command ListVolume. Add SelectVolume and specify the volume. After that, type this command. Exit the command prompt by typing the command Exit. Close the command prompt. Now click refresh in the Windows setup window. Choose a partition. Click Next. The installation of the operating system will continue and the system partition will be created in the free space. The error? Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style. In most cases, this error is caused by equipment incompatibility. One of the requirements for installation on Windows 11 is that your PC should boot in UFI mode. All previous versions of the operating system didn't have such requirement. MBR partition style is an older one that has certain limitations. No more than four main partitions and the maximum disk size is only 2TB. It's only good for situations when you want to retain compatibility with older 32-bit operating systems. On the other hand, GPT is the new partition style that removes the above-side limitations. To fix this error, you need to change the legacy mode to UFI. And here is how you do it. Shut down the computer. When turning it on again, press the F2 or Delete key to access BIOS. However, the keys to access BIOS and specific BIOS menu items may differ depending on the manufacturer of your PC. Go to the Boot tab, select Boot Mode and press Enter. Change the value from legacy support to UFI. After that, press F10 to save an exit BIOS. The change from legacy to UFI may require you to change hard disk partition style from MBR to GPT. In this case, that's what you do. While you're still in the Windows setup window, press the key shortcut Shift F10. After that, type disk part in the command prompt and press Enter. Follow it with the command ListDisk. Select a disk for installation. To do it, use the command SelectDisk and add the disk number. After that, type the command Clean to erase everything from the disk. Next, convert the disk with the command ConvertGPT. And finally, type exit. Now, you can continue with the installation of the operating system. Sometimes, your computer displays an error saying that Windows cannot install required files with the error code 0x8007025D and to fix it. Remove all additional media like pen drives and external hard disks. Make sure that the disk you want to use for installation of the operating system has enough free space. If the disk lacks free space, the installer will worry about it. To fix the problem, you have to format the partition. For even better, remove all partitions and it will erase all the data. After that, you can just continue with the installation. However, we'll do it with the help of the command prompt. Go one step back and press the key shortcut Shift F10. Type the command disk part. Follow it with ListDisk to learn the number of your specific disk. After that, type SelectDisk and add the disk number. Finally, type Clean. Leave the command prompt by typing the command Exit. Go back to the installation and click Next. After all these actions, the installation should go properly. Sometimes, this error can be caused by the image of the operating system. That is why we strongly recommend downloading such images from the Microsoft official website only. Also, you can try recording the image to another pen drive. If this error occurs when you use an installation pen drive, you can try using a USB version 2 port instead of USB versions 3 port or vice versa. And what if you encounter an error when Windows can't find any drives during the installation? Most of the time, it occurs with the latest generation of Intel CPUs. To fix it, you need to install Intel RapidStore technology driver and we'll do it during the installation of Windows 11. Download the driver for your module. I will give all the links in the description below. After the drivers are downloaded, extract them to the pen drive useful installation. Right-click on the file, choose Extract All and click Extract. After that, copy the folders to the installation pen drive. In the Windows Setup menu, at the stage where you need to choose where to install the operating system, click on the Load Driver option. Click OK. Click OK again. Then choose Browse and look for the required folder. Select Intel RSTVMD and click OK. When the driver is installed, the hard disks will be displayed correctly. If this method couldn't fix the problem, you can disable Intel Volume Management Device. However, you need to remember that turning off the VMD feature prevents your computer from being able to use any RAID systems. To turn VMD off and to bias, most of the time you need to press the F2 key to access bias when you start to put your computer. When you're in bias, press the F7 key or click on the Advanced node tab. In the Advanced menu, choose VMD Setup menu. For the option Enable VMD Controller, select Disable. Click OK. After that, save the configuration and exit the settings by pressing the F10 key and choosing OK. This will make the computer restart. Then you can continue with the installation. These are the most widespread errors people encounter when installing Windows 11. In theory, they may be other errors related to specific equipment or conditions of a particular computer.
