Product: OMEN by HP 45L Gaming Desktop PC IDS Base Models (ArticunoI)
I am having trouble installing windows 11 on my Omen 45L - I downloaded the necessary storage drivers (Intel-RST), created a boot recovery ( using microsoft creation tool, cleared all partitions from disk 0 (ssd) and disk 1 (hdd), but halfway through install I get an error message stating windows cannot proceed with this portion and reverts me back to the start. I also went as far as unplugging my HDD and tried installing with just the ssd available. What am I doing wrong or missing?
