00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.480
you've built a new PC or upgraded your existing one and now it's time to

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:10.160
install Windows pretty straightforward right isn't it just a case of inserting

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:13.759
installation USB clicking through the prompts and arriving at your fresh new

00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:17.960
desktop well it turns out there are still issues that you can run into even

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.320
though the process is supposed to be mostly automated we're going to tell you

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:25.240
all about these issues and how to avoid them starting with the first screen you

00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:29.640
see once the installer loads up if you're attempting to install Windows 11

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:33.719
without extra bloatware pick English word world in the time and currency

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.520
format field you might get an error message but just skip it and once you

00:00:35.559 --> 00:00:41.280
get into the Windows desktop you will need to change your country to the

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:44.800
appropriate setting in order to get the Microsoft store

00:00:42.760 --> 00:00:49.320
working as if there's something on the Microsoft store that you want just

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:54.960
joking sometimes they force you but regardless of whether you care about bloatware what if the installer doesn't

00:00:52.760 --> 00:00:59.960
even list your system's drives when it asks you where you want to install

00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:01.399
Windows although Windows can usually

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:05.760
recognize your drives automatically there are still times when this won't

00:01:03.559 --> 00:01:09.600
happen fortunately you can always download storage drivers from the

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:14.520
manufacturers website and either put them on your installation USB before

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.119
installing Windows or on a different USB

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:20.759
if your computer has another free Port click load driver follow the

00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:26.079
instructions and your drive should pop up speaking of drives it can also be a

00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:28.799
good idea to disconnect any extra drives

00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:32.759
before you install Windows not only does this ensure you own accidentally pick

00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.880
the wrong drive but Windows can sometimes weirdly install certain

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:41.479
installation files on a separate dis especially if you already have another

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.640
copy of Windows installed on that drive so if you ever remove or wipe that drive

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:49.159
your Windows installation could just stop working but once you get past these

00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:55.439
first few steps you can still get tripped up because of the way Windows 11

00:01:51.399 --> 00:01:57.360
installer now requires you to be online

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:02.000

00:02:29.959 --> 00:02:37.560
Link in the description previous versions of Windows allowed you to skip

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:39.640
through network setup but no longer this

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:44.000
presents a couple of problems the first is that like with drives the Windows

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:48.959
installer sometimes won't automatically install a driver for your Ethernet or

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:53.159
Wi-Fi controller fortunately also with drives you can mitigate this problem by

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:57.360
downloading the driver beforehand but you'll need a bit of command line

00:02:54.680 --> 00:03:01.920
Wizardry to install them hold shift and F10 to bring up the command prompt type

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:06.959
in this command to open up the device manager find your Ethernet or Wi-Fi

00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:11.720
adapter and update the driver manually but here's the other problem what if you

00:03:09.760 --> 00:03:16.720
want to bypass the need for an internet connection entirely this can be a

00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:21.239
legitimate concern if you don't want to sign up for a Microsoft account or you

00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:26.280
simply need to get into Windows and you're in a place without a connection

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:30.439
handy imagine that and unlike previous versions of Windows you're not presented

00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:34.840
with an option to just use a local account to get around this ensure you're

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.040
not connected to the internet disconnect your Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi adapter if

00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:42.680
you have to and bring up the command prompt again type in this command and

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:46.319
the computer will restart after going through the subsequent screens you

00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:50.480
should see an option that says I don't have internet which you can click

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:54.599
through to a limited setup option that will let you proceed without an internet

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:58.239
connection will this approach work forever given Microsoft's push to

00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.120
continue integrating Windows with its cloud services it's anyone's guess

00:04:00.079 --> 00:04:06.680
whether they'll make offline installation even harder in the future do you have any suggestions for your

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:11.239
fellow users face with a new Windows 11 install let us know down below and if

00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:15.280
