Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi fellows I was trying to install W10 in my new Victus Gaming Laptop. I put USB drive Bootable with Rufus and put the W10 Image Iso in it. But doing the partitions I deleted the recovery partitions and it says I can't install the W10 in the main disk because it says Something is active. I tried to recover by the HP cloud recovery app I tried in differents PC and differents USB drive. The app never found the disk to install the recovery files. In this case what can I do?

@Iroshi99,

 

When you install Windows from a Windows installation usb drive, you need to delete all existing partitions until you only see 'unallocated space.'

 

You just ignore warning messages that pop up when you select the partitions.

 

When you delete all the partitions and proceed, the installation setup creates new partitions and install files on them.
