Windows 11 Installation Issues on MSI Laptop

Solved

Hello,

After receiving my MSI (GF63 THIN 11UC-629XFR) without an OS, I decided to install Windows 11 on it. However, after installing Windows and the PC automatically rebooting, I do not land on the system configuration screen (where you could choose to activate Cortana and everything else on Windows 10) but on the default screen of the PC without an OS (with static lines of code). After several restarts while changing the boot options in the BIOS, enabling and disabling fast boot, without success, I am out of ideas.

Here’s how I proceeded in more detail:

First, I started by creating a bootable USB drive by going to Microsoft's website and downloading the Windows 11 disk image, which I then burned onto my USB drive using Rufus (v.3.21.1949).

Once done, I plugged the USB drive into my laptop and turned it on to access the boot options menu (by spamming F11). From this menu, I selected my USB drive and the Windows installation began.

I chose Windows 11 Professional, without a product key (I haven't bought one yet).

Once I reached the menu where you choose the destination for Windows (with all the disk partitions), I deleted the existing one to create a new one, as indicated on MSI's website (I had an error message saying that Windows could not be installed on this disk).

After that, the installation completed, and the reboot issue occurred.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you in advance, best regards.

    UPDATE: I bought a product key, which I entered during the installation of Windows (I tried again) and the problem remains the same.

    Hello,

    Start by resetting the BIOS options to default. Then, restart a new installation of Windows: on the partition selection screen, delete ALL partitions, Windows will automatically recreate them.

    Hello,

    windows is required to create a Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) and a UEFI partition in order to boot
