Hi  @ShirshenduK,
 
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

I understand you're trying to install Windows 11 on your SSD and are receiving the message: "Setup does not support configuration of or installation to disk connected through a USB or IEEE 1394 port."

Dont worry I'll be glad to help you work through this.

To better understand the setup, could you kindly share the following details?

• The full HP laptop model number - Click here for steps to find the serial number 
• Is the SSD installed internally in the laptop or connected through a USB enclosure/adapter?
• Are you replacing the original drive or performing a fresh installation?
• Does the SSD appear correctly in BIOS?
• Which method did you use to create the Windows 11 installation USB (Media Creation Tool)?
• Are there any other storage devices connected to the notebook during installation?

In the meantime, kindly try the below steps and confirm : 

1. Verify that the SSD is installed directly inside the laptop and not connected through a USB adapter or external enclosure during Windows installation.
2. Disconnect any external hard drives, USB storage devices, docking stations, or SD cards, leaving only the Windows installation USB connected.
3. Enter BIOS and confirm that the SSD is detected properly.
4. If the SSD is visible, press Shift + F10 during Windows Setup to open Command Prompt and run DiskPart: 
   diskpart
   list disk

            Check whether the SSD appears as an internal disk.

1. If the drive contains old partitions, you may remove them during Windows Setup and allow Windows to create new partitions automatically.

For additional guidance, you may refer to these HP support documents: HP PCs - Installing Windows 11 - Click here
