Hello ! I've tried installing W11 with the assisstant tool and mounting the ISO but both led me to the same problem: The setup keeps me from clicking the "Keep all files and data blahblahblah" option, leaving only the "Erase everything" one (not the exact names, just off memory). My system has passed the hardware checks (yes, even the tpm is good) W10 is installed on C: contrary to what the install is saying in the footnote and is completely up to date. Any ideas on how I can solve this ? Help is appreciated :)

For anyone wondering, this is my disk management : image.png

In Disk Management, check your partition scheme in properties. If it is MBR then you need to convert to GPT. This may or may not be the issue...

  • Asus U46SV (laptop), i5-2410M, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD, 750GB HDD, Windows 10. (used as a local Minecraft server and data dump)
Another issue may be that Windows 11 needs room for a recovery partition or the MS System Reserved partition is too small.

...not entirely sure on this one...
