I have a HP Zbook Firefly G7 laptop and wish to wipe everything off it and reinstall windows, it's windows 10 but wish to upgrade to Windows 11.
I have bitlocker installed i'm not sure if anything else that came with the laptop would get in the way or need to be disabled first before doing so as I don't want to brick the laptop!
Could someone advise of the steps please as I haven't done this before on this laptop.
Please note that there is nothing wrong with the laptop, should anyone ask!
Thanks

Hi @1lorr1e1
My advice is to disable BitLocker. And then just follow the steps of windows installation.
