I have a Victus 15 laptop, and I encountered a Windows error, so I reinstalled Windows. However, after completing all the steps, it always shows "Windows 11 installation has failed."

@dgffgfdg, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Windows 11 Installation on HP Victus 15!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Installing Windows 11 on your HP Victus 15 laptop may sometimes encounter errors due to various reasons. Below are steps and checks you can perform to resolve the "Windows 11 installation has failed" error:
Reinstallation Steps:
Disconnect External Devices: Ensure that all unnecessary external devices (USB drives, external hard drives, etc.) are disconnected during installation.
Check System Requirements: Ensure your device meets all the Windows 11 system requirements, including TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot.
System Updates & Drivers:
- Update your BIOS and drivers to the latest versions available from HP Support.
- Ensure your Windows Update settings allow automatic updates.
Run Windows Update Troubleshooter:
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
- Select Windows Update and run the troubleshooter.
Use Installation Media:
- Use Windows Media Creation Tool to reinstall Windows. Make sure you have a stable internet connection during this process.
Check Storage Space: Ensure sufficient disk space is available for installation as Windows 11 requires significant storage for installation.
Disable Security Software: Disable any third-party antivirus software temporarily to ensure it's not interfering with the installation.
Check Event Logs:
- Open Event Viewer (Windows + X > Event Viewer) to check for any specific error messages during the installation process.
Perform a Clean Boot: Enable a clean boot of Windows to disable non-essential services and applications that might interfere with installation.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
