Was it a version you put on the key a long time ago? If you run winver (or open system information) what build is it?
Ah yeah that's Windows 11 22H2, very outdated. Went EOL in Oct 2024:

If you're doing a fresh install I'd probably just create a new usb key using the media creation tool and reinstall it.
As mentioned, whenever doing a clean install or new install of Windows make sure you have downloaded the latest ISO from Microsoft.
This will prevent you getting loads of updates and multiple restarts etc.
Yeah, they make it quite simple to get, even give you the option to burn it to a USB stick as well or you can use Rufus to remove certain things like needing a Microsoft account etcYeah, should have considered that before
Thanks though! Was easy enough to get the latest from ms..

It allows you to create a local admin account, it also removes the system requirements as wellHmm…that’s handy not needing a ms account! Does this take away the four digit pin when you boot the computer up?
I hate not being able to load to desktop without the pin!

Are you sure the problem wasn't because of the UBS key?![]()
