What version of Windows are you using?
Are you running the installation file from inside the Windows?

Hi @ishaan_roy 

First, download the updates in the Microsoft Store , restart the computer, then download the Windows Update Assistant and let it prepare the components, for a new installation - you need to have 30G of free space in the C drive, leave the computer in power.

Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)

can you kindly send me the microsoft store link??
Yes, but you need to sign in to the Microsoft Store with your personal Microsoft account on this PC
