Installed win 11 on an Asus laptop P5QC and it locked me out after screen went black
At boot get this
Then Pin screen
I enter Proper PIN, and I get this weird message I have never seen on any of my PC
The install took me hours.
The install worked and it is registered to my windows account
OS is on a SATA drive
I installed diskgfenius
Set a clone for a hot migration to an NVME drive
Disk Genius said was doing a system snapshot
After 10 minutes the screen when black, no signal
Laptop was off, it is plugged in to wall
I rebooted and now I get this weird message
Do I have to start over, nuke the whole stupid SATA drive?
The SATA drive is abysmally slow.
I started the OS install this AM, it takes hours and has to do the install, look for updates, download the OS again. I used this USB Media creator from MS on a another PC and it worked fine, and I made it 2 days ago, so you would think the OS is current.
So far today nothing but a pain with this laptop.
I thought maybe the OS shut off the display as I am using the laptop on an external HDMI port, it has no built-in display anymore.
