What a collosal pain in the *** So I THINK I'm successful, not sure yet. When system image was finally done and computer restarted, I got the following screen (which did NOT restart automatically) So I decided to experiment, and went into bios, and changed back to RAID mode, and now it...

SO FAR SO GOOD! Fingers crossed. Was successful in doing a fresh install of Windows 11, now it seems to be successfully recovering the system image (had to find my Bitlocker key (command prompt ) We'll see!

I used the Windows Backup and recovery (Windows 7) To create the system image. I attempted recover it Using a Windows 11 recovery USB I changed RAID to AHCI While system was running, by booting into the BIOS menu, and changing it in there. Applying the changes and then restarting computer.

The computer currently has windows 11. it boots up fine. However, my problem was it wasn't letting me recover my system image (picture below). I have a funny feeling It now might let me recover my system image, since I've switched from RAID to AHCI, but I figure I'll still do a complete fresh...

I just ran the thorough advanced Dell preboot diagnostics. NO ERRORS :) "All tests past successfully"

My ultimate plan is to recover all my data from a system image. Wouldn't that system image also recover all drivers?

Thanks. I will continue tomorrow. Gotta wake up early, and this process will take some time. fingers crossed for tomorrow.

OK we're making progress! I changed the disk mode from RAID To AHCI. Now when I try installing from the media creation tool. I get the following. Question, Next step? Which partitions do I delete? Sorry guys/gals, I'm a total newb at this, I need guided instruction until Windows is...

I can't do that. When I get to that step (step 10), I don't have the option of Deleting. It's not clickable (greyed out). What is this about the disk having an MBR partition table? ugh. One thing to add, this is a cloned SSD. The laptop came with a 512gb SSD, and I cloned it to a 2 Tb SSD. it...

No, I was able to do it using Dell Backup & restore.

Here are my specs for the Laptop: DELL Inspiron 5502 Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz (1.69 GHz) Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Edition Windows 11 Home Version 25H2 Installed on ‎9/‎20/‎2025 OS build...

I don't have the ability to disable the keyboard driver. It's greyed out. I can't disable or "rollback" the driver. But I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard driver, then turning off the computer, and that didn't work. I guess I'll have to accept the fact that Microsoft screwed me...

Nope, it's not an external one. For now, I'll stay with fast-start disabled (not much choice really), but it's unnerving that there's a glitch lurking somewhere on my laptop lol. Hopefully another update will fix it.(y)

Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. I updated to the latest OS build, and I'm still having the issue :( I now have build 26200.6901 and still no functioning keyboard upon start (with fast start option). :unsure:

THANKS for the quick reply, Yep, I have windows build .6899 (image below). Thanks so much. I'll update to latest. And yeah, maybe I'll just keep fast start up disabled. (y)(y)(y)
