Question about Windows 11 clean install with rufus

Don't panic, it's not that complicated! To use Rufus to make a Windows 11 bootable USB disk and complete a clean install of Windows 11, the steps are basically as follows:

Use Rufus to make a bootable disk
Open Rufus, plug in your USB drive, and select the ISO file of Windows 11. Don't forget to select "Remove TPM restrictions" in the options so that old computers can also install Windows 11. This step is critical and directly determines whether you can successfully clean install Windows 11.

Set the boot priority
After making the bootable disk, plug the USB drive into the computer, enter the BIOS after restarting, and set the USB drive as the first boot item. If this step is wrong, the bootable disk will not work.

Start the installation
After booting, you will enter the Windows installation interface, select "Custom installation", and then format the target disk (note to back up the data). Then just click "Next" all the way to complete the clean install of Windows 11 with rufus!

If Rufus still can't do it, you can try other tools, such as Microsoft's official Media Creation Tool or WinBootsMate, which are also very useful. Hope you have a smooth clean install of Windows 11! 💪
