How do I install windows 11 on new pc without operating system?
Avoid using USB 2.0 when installing Windows 11 on new PC, as it significantly slows down the process. USB 3.0 or higher offers much faster data transfer speeds, reducing the time it takes to copy files and complete the installation. Ensure your PC has USB 3.0 ports (usually marked with a blue color or labeled "SS" for SuperSpeed) and use a compatible USB drive for optimal performance. This approach can save considerable time during the installation process, especially when dealing with large installation files.
Additionally, using a high-speed USB drive improves reliability and ensures a smooth installation experience. USB 2.0 devices may experience lag or interruptions, leading to potential errors during installation. By opting for USB 3.0 or higher, you benefit from reduced installation time, fewer errors, and a more efficient setup. Always ensure that your PC's BIOS/UEFI is configured to prioritize USB 3.0 for booting when preparing to install Windows 11.
