I have a laptop and the installed OS was windows 11.  I need to install a new version because recovery is not the option. I cannot use the internet fight because I can’t get past Boot Device Not Found message.  I need to install a new clean windows 11 OS using a flash drive. Where do I purchase the flash drive?  Thanks

Find another Windows PC and make a bootable USB installation flash drive with the Media creation tool from the link below:

 

Download Windows 11

 

You don't need to buy a flash drive with W11 on it because the Windows product key is encrypted in your PC's BIOS, so there is no need to pay over $100 for a Windows 11 USB installer and product key which you don't need.
