Windows 11 24H2 Clean Install

[OldGuru]

Does anyone have trouble installing Windows 11 24H2 (clean install)? When I try it errors out after trying to detect disks. I have no Raid and Windows 11 23H2 has no problems.

The error comes up with 0x0000081f, something along those lines.

Thanks.

24H2 currently only supports ARM processors, do you have an ARM processor on your PC?

No issues here, but I did it when the ISOs for 24H2 were new.

This is incorrect.  Intel proc here with 24H2 installed, no hacks or workarounds, ISO straight from Microsoft, clean install - release preview edition.
Current build of my system is 26100.1301 for what it's worth -- been gettng regular updates since I did this in May.

There is a bug in new installer which fails to detect hard drives. See if it gives you an option to use old installer during setup.

 

My preferred method: I boot into Hiren's Boot PE iso using Ventoy formatted USB drive. Then run WinNTSetup and deploy the 24H2 iso by specifying a NTFS formatted drive/ EFI partition (detected automatically)

It's my most favourite method ever and some computer shops here have also started using the same method when they are repairing their PCs.

1. Hiren's Boot PE link

2. WinNTSetup link

3. Ventoy Bootable USB creator link (Select Windows zip package)

Few tips: Better to have your boot drive partitioned to GPT type for Windows 8/10/11

EFI partition be formatted to FAT32 with size of  200 MB

Edition    Windows 11 Home
Version    24H2
Installed on    ‎8/‎2/‎2024
OS build    26100.1301
Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.11.0

Above is the build obtained from MS Insider; installed on my HPAIO AMD Ryzen 5 desktop (along with five Linux distros). The install USB was created using the latest Rufus. The installation was glacially slow compared to 23H2,

but once on my desktop, has operated "normally" and even improved on the update side.

It's this random "Glacially slow" Install which caused me to use Ventoy + Hiren's BootPE + WinNTSetup to deploy any Windows iso.

On my PC with Gen4 NVMe drive, the setup completes in 2-3 mins and I am greeted by OOBE.

The new installer only seems to work with things like Rufus. It does not work with Ventoy. I ran into the same issue until I used Rufus and there is an open issue on the ventoy GitHub that’s not been resolved.

I tried with Rufus and did not work. I did Hirens Boot CD and WinNTSetup and that did a trick. There is for sure a bug in a new Windows Installer. It may be looking for PCIe Gen 5 M2 on my Z790 board which I did not populate because it shared PCIe lines with the video card. And since it did not find any M2 drive there, it threw an error.
