Win 11 Version 24H2 Install Failed

Hi sms1295,

You may find software named "Dragon" in Apps and Features. It's a Realtek product that installs the NDIS 6.x driver. Please uninstall Dragon.

Post Fixlog.txt if possible.

Yes, cloning will work. There are many freeware options available.

Ramesh,

I have time to try the 24H2 file again. I've removed the Realtek LightWeight Filter (NDIS6.40) and run the fixlist.txt file again. I'll let you know the outcome.

If it works this time, is there a way to do the following:

Copy the OS from the M2-250 C drive to the M2-1TB D drive.

Delete the OS from the M2-250 C drive, reassigning the drive a new letter

Then changing the M2-1TB D drive to the C drive

Would cloning the M2-250 drive and installing the clone on the M2-1TB work?

I am looking for a solution that doesn't require removing the M2-250 drive since I have to remove my graphic card and a heat shield.

I remember when I installed Windows 10. The installation gave an option to format and assign drive letter. It seems that is gone with the install on Windows 11.

Thanks,

Hi, sms1295

Removing "Realtek LightWeight Filter (NDIS6.40)" and running that fixlist.txt should most likely resolve the 24H2 upgrade issue altogether. You could try that option first.

**Uninstalling Dragon (from Realtek) via Apps & Features should remove that NDIS 6.0 driver.**

Dragon (HKLM-x32...{3C8FA4F4-8471-4C60-9002-9B9F78B7B483}) (Version: 6 - Realtek)

I have physically switched the M2-250 and M2-1 TB drives, so the M2-1TB drive is in the motherboard's drive slot for the OS drive.

How can I install the OS on the M2-1TB drive?

Create the Windows 11 USB setup disk. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d

Disconnect the M.2 250GB drive. This ensures the EFI and MSR partitions are created on the 1 TB disk.

Install Windows on the M.2 1 TB drive after deleting all the partitions on that drive. The data on that drive will be erased.

Ramesh,

I've decided to go on and do the clean install, but have a few questions.

I run a multiple-drive system, which I have listed below:

C: Local Drive - M2 - 250 GB

D: Programs - M2 - 1TB

E: Storage - HHD

G: Storage - HHD

H: Storage - HHD

I: Storage - HHD

J: Storage - HHD

I have physically switched the M2-250 and M2-1 TB drives, so the M2-1TB drive is in the motherboard's drive slot for the OS drive.

How can I install the OS on the M2-1TB drive?

Thanks,

Try uninstalling it. Select the Realtek LightWeight Filter (NDIS6.40) entry and click "Uninstall."

Also, uninstall these components if listed:

• VMware Bridge Protocol
• VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver
