Accepted Answer

You might want to check if your processor is capable of running windows 11. the "quad core AMD 2.6ghz doesnt say what processor it is. Its a full install but there is a problem, my computer wouldnt install windows 11 till i got an operating system(windows 10 in this case) and it could verify that my system was "good enough" and then it would let me install windows 11 (This is a brand new system Ryzen 7700x. There was an issue with windows 11 being installed on computers that couldnt handle it. But this is a full version
