  2. Thank you very much for your nice and clear explanation.
    The installation was booted to an older desktop from a network HD, after installing to a USB and copy-to-network.

  4. Halo, I have succeeded in installing Windows 11 on my laptop, I have already tried many other ways, without success. Thank you very much.
    I just had to look up the ISO file on the Windows help page and download it beforehand to be able to select it in rufus.
    After the entire process you described, I still had to manually go to the USB stick and do setups there. Then my laptop started up and after an hour of searching for all kinds of things and a few new starts, it was ready and good luck... now Windows 11. Thank you very much Guido
