when you say usb mouse do you mean a usb bluetooth mouse?
@@alextorres4988 Any mouse that plugs into the USB. So bluetooth could work, but a better bet would be a wired USB mouse
@@PC_Monkeymy problem is It doesnt shows the widows setup. colum
Dude i just came from another one of your vids and you commented to me about 15 minutes ago and this vid helped finally i can ship this back to where i got it from and get it replaced

Hey, Jamin. Thanks for sharing this great information. As always, your videos are extremely helpful and educational, for real.
Thx for the support Rhonda :)
Hey, PC Monkey. Thank you for this wonderful video. I got a Lenovo Ideapad 3 and I've been able to install from my USB device as I can see the HDD. What can I do? Thanks
Hi. I just want to clean install win 11 via usb. My problem is that in driver selection menu where you delete other drivers and choose which one to install the window, there is no driver to delete or select so it can install it. I have a lonovo Ip5 thank you
Is your Lenovo turning on and working well other than not being able to install Windows 11? If not, what is the issue?
Thank you so much for this!!!

Hi jamin
Im trying to set up a new Lenovo with the windows 11. But got to setup stage where it says connect to a network and no network appear ? Whay should i do
Did you manage to resolve it because I have the exact same problem right now😢
I click on F12 but nothing shows up. When I try other keys like F2 or all the others I get into the BIOS.
Was your Lenovo computer working well before this attempted Win11 install? If not, what was happening?
Try fn plus f12
I tried fn plus the f12 screen.
I have OEM windows on my Lenovo laptop. does it activates automatically? since I dont have a key like when I buy windows OS separately.
In most newer computers, it should activate automatically. If it doesnt, you will have to enter the product key manually
3:25 When you talk about "saving data" here, does "data" mean the files I have in Documents and Desktop? I want to re-install Windows but I don't want to lose any documents on my laptop. Do I need to "save data" in order to keep these documents from disappearing?
(Note: I am having the "Setup Notice: Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed" issue. I went through you other video about the BIOS fixes for that and none of them worked, so now I am re-installing Windows.)
Yes. To save those files, you need to select the Save DATA option. You have that issue on a Lenovo computer? Were you able to run the diagnostic scan as seen here? ua-cam.com/video/oL1R1Tw0jSo/v-deo.html
@key Yes, no, maybe.
The best I can tell you is that I watched some video (maybe it was not yours after all) and used it to get into a Lenovo Setup Utility. (I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17IIL05, the setup utility didn't look like what you were looking at in your videos.) I checked the System Date and Time were correct (they were), tried changing the Boot Mode (UEFI, it was not changing), and maybe something else the video told me to try, I can't remember - but none of what the video told me to do fixed the problem. The video told me that if those things didn't work then the next thing to do was reload the operating system. And I didn't really know what that meant so I had to figure it out from other videos and somehow I found this video so here I am.
The video you just linked is not very helpful for me. It is not specific and assumes a level of flexibility in my (non)understanding of computers that I simply don't possess. It has lots "Your screen may look different" and "you may have other BIOs options" which.... I need clear instructions on exactly what I am seeing and what to do, and your video doesn't have much of that so the best I can tell you is that I think that, under the direction of a different video that I guess was not your, I did the things your video seems to be saying to do, _with one exception._ The exception is that I have not tried taking out and reseating the hard drive, because I do not have tools here and my apartment is very dusty and the one time I opened up a laptop several years ago the thing never worked again. So I am just not going to do that.
BTW the other video that talked me through the Lenovo Setup Utility solutions said that hard drive issues were the _last thing_ to look at, not the first. This laptop has been sat on a desk and not moved in two months so I am kind of assuming the hard drive didn't suddenly get unseated.
What should I do at this point? Should I just pay Lenovo to have someone come out here and try to fix it? If I try to re-install Windows and that isn't the problem, am I going to lose all my documents? The most important thing to me is not losing those documents - I don't really care about the laptop itself.
@@cisium1184 So you are unable to access and runt he Lenovo Diagnostic scan as seen on that video? And you are unable to access the HDD to reseat it? Then yes, your only other way of DIY troubleshooting is to reinstall the OS. If you cant do any of the DIY troubleshooting steps due to lack of computer knowlege or tools, then yes, you should pay someone to fix it.
@@PC_Monkey As far as I can tell, correct on both counts.
I actually purchased a Windows11 installation USB and that won't even allow me to install Windows 11 in upgrade grade mode, nor will any of the included repair/uninstall/settings/system restore options on the USB work at all. I think my computer or hard drive is just finished so I am going to take it somewhere and see if I can recover anything off the hard drive.
Thank you for your time.
Should I format "C" before I install windows 11?
In most cases, that not necessary :)
can you get rid of windows insider via this?
What’s the difference between windows 11 and windows 365 I just want a decent all round laptop do you think 365 will be sufficient
Sufficient for what? If your computer is well suited for your needs or not depends on what your needs are. Are you looking to use specific software or functions?
Hey i tried this but i cant find the button to enter boot manager please help me
Is your Lenovo turning on and working other than not being able to start the install process? If not, what is happening? Also, have you tried all the Function Keys?
Lenovo Ideapad 320-15ABR
How do I get to USB CD DVD ROM drive on Startup ?
You have tried the Function Key as seen here? If that does not work, try the other ones as some models use different keys. Also, some Lenovo models have a NOVA button instead and some require you to press the Fn key + the Function Key
Hey my issue is that my USB is not being visible on my Bios set up. Secure boot is disabled and USB boot is enabled. Am not even able to change from UEFI to Legacy cause that option is not there too
Did you create the USB yourself or purchase it? Also, have you tried the other USB ports? Some computers will only accept one for this operation.
Hey brother, I have an issue with Hp Pavilion bf1xxx model. I restarted my laptop, and it gets turned off but isn't turning on. Clicking the power button turns the light on the button.
1. For a computer that does not turn on, try this video first; ua-cam.com/video/HHwzA37r4e8/v-deo.html. Let me know how that goes :)
2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?
Is it possible to install windows 11 on my lenovo ideapad 320 even it says doesnt meet requirement for the upgrade?
You may be able to force it through but your computer will most likely be slow, glitchy, etc.
My Lenovo E520 with Windows 10 says it cannot upgrade to W11. Can I add anything (hardware) to make it work?
Is it specific as to what spec is not compatible? Can you see if any of your specs fall short of the Win11 specs seen here? www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications?r=1
Hi jamin. I have HP Pavilion gaming laptop. I have an issue of blue screen error. When i run system diagnostic. Every thig is ok except memory. Memory diagnostic fail. Wht you suggest? Is it RAM issue?
Yes. Memory is RAM. If you have two sticks, test them both as seen here: ua-cam.com/video/B2Umoh81QeI/v-deo.html to find out which one is bad and then replace it. You can see how to get compatible RAM here: ua-cam.com/video/NtCzunl0AQA/v-deo.html
Does Lenovo tie the Windows 11 key to the motherboard/etc? So if I do a fresh install it will be able to maintain that key without me digging it up? Any issues with it finding the default wi-fi drivers on first install? Debating if I want to clone an L15 SSD to a bigger one or start w/ a fresh install
Many newer computers do tie the key to the motherboard so they are usually recoverable the new install automatically. And no, there are usually no issues finding the correct drivers. The auto process is usually pretty good
@@PC_Monkey Ya part of me wants to just start absolutely fresh. Just trying to think of what I might miss in the backups. (windows key, any proprietary lenovo software, resetting up all the accounts, etc). Maybe there's a better way to do a Windows user account backup that I can restore from a USB drive or something instead. I suppose I could always try a fresh install, and if it doesn't work do a clone from the original SSD in NVME enclosure to the new drive.
I tried to activate windows and they are asking the product key, what do I do, please help
Sometimes you can find it on a sticker under the computer. If not, you will have to purchase it.
Brother, my computer is a Lenovo ideapad 3 and still after plugging the USB it doesn't show it on the boot options what should I do
Is the computer turning on and working well otherwise? What operating system are you upgrading to Win11 from?
I managed to create a USB Windows 11, but my Lenovo all in one desktop, doesn't appear in the drives to install. Any help will be appreciated.
Is your Lenovo working well other than not being able to install Windows? If not, what is happening when you try to turn in on normallY?
@PC_Monkey there is no operation system, the system accidentally deleted the wrong drive last night I am reinstalling the operation system on a usb stick, I watched your video of it. If this doesn't work I will probably try the window 10 then try to update to windows 11. Not really sure what to do if I can't get it up running.
Thanks bro
Your welcome !! Happy to help :)
Hii.
I can't able to find the drivers when click the advanced option.
Was your Lenovo working well before this attempted install? If not, what was happening?
Hey Jamin, I tried to reinstall my windows 11 because my SSD was corrupted, It has a bitlocker encryption though and I don't have the key. How do I proceed with the install?
If your SSD is locked out, then you wont be able to install an OS to it. You would have to physically replace it or get past that key
I reset my pc (Lenovo, win 11) and when booting it's telling me that an unexpected error has accoured an the installation cannot proceed and i should restart my pc, but nth works 😐

Do you know what causing it? Need to install it for my wife after her computer does not want to reboot into windows. Ive tried many other options and none of them work so I thought i could install a fresh one. Any help would be great. Thanks

2. Can you run the diagnostic scan as seen here to confirm the HDD is healthy? ua-cam.com/video/oL1R1Tw0jSo/v-deo.html
@PC Monkey yes I ran diagnostic multiple times and everything seems good. The laptop could not start windows, according to my wife, so I tried multiple options including restore, removing recent updates but none of them work and was getting message that windows ran into a problem. After that I decided just to reinstall the windows, however after lunching the installation, it doesn't show me the internal hdd. Tried wind 10 and 11. Any suggestions ?
@@AlmanusS Sounds like the HDD may be bad then. I would replace it and try the install again.

You didn’t mention anything about the hardware requirements of W11. How does that play with what you have shown us?
How does it play? lol. Dont really understand that question.
A link to the requirements of Win11 is in the description. As with Win10 and most software, the recommended system requirements may change over time. In my opinion it would needlessly date the video to include that in the video. Instead, my viewers can easily click on the link and read the reqs for themselves :)

I follow ur guide for similar laptop and operating system but i got stuck at the options to select hard drive to install the windows. It is not showing me any hard desk to install the window. Any idea
What brand computer do you have? Is the computer turning on and working well otherwise?
I've watched your videos that pertain to my issue. Brand New Lenovo Idea Pad 3 with BSOD win 11. I've been through most of the diagnostics. Nothing works. Downloaded Win 11, trying to install, but I get to "Where do you want to install Windows?" is totally blank, no partions! At the bottom it says we couldn't find any drives. To get a storage driver, click load driver, which brings me to select driver to install ESD-USB (C:) or Boot (X:) Help! Where do I go from here? I don't want to assume, but boot (x:) has all the program fils & windows folders.
I would try 'reseating' the HDD. If that does not help, I would try replacing the HDD at that point.
@@PC_Monkey Thank you for your quick reply. This model has a 512GB SSD Lenovo Model #82H80358US w/full back panel. Is reseating the same procedure?
@@theresahall7089 Reseating is just unplugging the HDD or SSD and plugging it back in to make sure its secure and not loose. You can do that with any SSD and HDD that is not integrated into the motherboard
@@PC_Monkey Thanks Jamin, that's what I figured, but wanted to be sure. Just trying to troubleshoot this mess!

Does Windows 11 work better than 10? On top of my computer completely dying on me, I also had nothing but issues with Windows 10. My HP would just randomly just shut down. We just took the back of the laptop off and there was moisture by the battery...no idea why. No liquid was spilled on it, but there was a bit of some sort of corrosion in the bottom cover. I took a toothbrush to the disgusting fan then used a vacuum to suck that out. Nothing has ever been spilled on it, what could the moisture be coming from? We live in the high desert so humidity isn't an issue. HELP!
If the moisture is coming from the battery, then that is a major issue. Definitely replace the battery ASAP and hope that the moisture didnt damage any other components. Does the computer just turn off randomly? No other issues with it at this point?
@@PC_Monkey... honestly, no idea where the moisture is coming from. Nothing has spilled on it. We're going to take it apart again tonight, take out the RAM and wipe it with 90% isopropyl alcohol. I'm so confused as to where the moisture is coming from. Our average humidity is 15%, so very dry, we don't have pets or kids and the laptop isn't near water or anything else.
@@PC_Monkey.. update...switched RAM card... screen is still black... computer does power on, screen is still black. Ugh... this is so frustrating. Do you have any connections here on Colorado?
@@amiedavis5257 If the screen is black, what are the signs that the computer is actually turning on?
All I can hear is the fan turning on. I can also hear some beeping periodically, but since I can't see the screen, I have no idea what else is working. We pulled out the RAM and this wasn't it. I honestly ended up taking it to my cell phone repair shop as he does laptops as well and he's fairly reasonable. I do know I don't have enough RAM in the laptop as on a good day it was slow to say the least.

If you choose the 'Erase Everything' option during install and delete all the partitions then yes, all the DATA will be deleted. If you choose to save your DATA and do not delete the partitions, then your DATA should be saved. However, there is always a chance of losing DATA during an install so the best way not to lose the DATA would be backing it up before install or another alternative to a new install. What are you trying to accomplish with this install? Could you do the same with a limited reset instead?
