Before You Start
Before you begin the reinstallation process, make sure you have the following:

- A backup of your important files. Although we'll be showing you how to reinstall Windows 11 without losing your files, it's always a good idea to have a backup just in case.
- A USB drive with at least 8GB of free space. This will be used to create a bootable Windows 11 installation media.

To create a bootable Windows 11 installation media, follow these steps:
- Go to the Microsoft Windows 11 download page and click on the 'Download Now' button under the 'Create Windows 11 Installation Media' section.

- Insert the USB drive into your computer and restart it.
- Enter the BIOS settings (usually by pressing F2, F12, or Del) and set the USB drive as the first boot device.
