Windows 11, version 24H2 won't install

uh my brain melted from reading that.. plus i am confused.

This is they

Right-click the ISO file and select Mount . This will create a “virtual” bootable disc. Double-click on it to view the files within. Double-click setup.exe to start Windows 11 setup.

Virtual bootable disk which is your DVD drive... not a real one. It gives you that if the iso type of file isn't linked to something else by accident... happened to me once but 99% time should be OK.

You need the iso file from here:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11

That gives you the virtual drive.... but as I've said countless times once started when it comes to install you don't select update drivers now, change that to no or whatever. Faster and doesn't lead to drivers incorrectly installed. If it does install, all drivers get updated as part of the installed. Change early on and you may get lumbered with incompatible ones.

You might have other problems after that but that's how you update from ISO. Keep files and programs.

Windows 11 version 24H2 will not install, and says my new HP EliteBook 650 G10 is not compatible with Windows 11-- even though it came pre-installed with Windows 11. I get a notification stating: "We couldn't update the system reserve partition." I've run both DISM and SFC, but no errors were detected. Any idea what the problem is?

Hello Ramesh. Freeing up space on the system reserved partition did the trick, and I successfully installed Windows 11 version 24H2 without a hitch. Thank you for your assistance.

Nice. Thanks for the update, Randy.

mine is forcing it through the DVD Drive which my laptop does not have. any solutions i can do to fix this issue?

Well a right click on the iso file as I recall, run as admin should produce a pseudo DVD drive. Fiddle with it. If C is the main, then you get a D... it's a feature. You don't need to do much else as far as the DVD drive, memory sticks and the rest. You might have to do a lot of other stuff to get it to install.
