Afternoon All,
A bit rusty at doing a clean install and unfortunately can't remember what I did the when I installed Win10-Home. I have my USB ready & drivers all lined up to install offline.

When I install Windows 11, do I create the partitions at that time? Do I unplug the second drive? Your help would be most appreciated.
I purchased my Windows 10-Home and it's registered to this computer. Will this key work for the upgrade to Windows 11?
Cheers, ms

- Preparing to do a clean install of Windows 11 (excellent tutorials as always) from Windows 10 Home - 22H2 - 19045.3996.
- Solved the missing TMP 2.0 requirement - changed setting on Asus motherboard with help from the Forum.
- I have two hard drives: SSD & HDD (C & D). See system specs.
- Recent Microsoft Security update failed [2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441)]. Supposedly, it's because my Recovery Partition was too small?
