what if you didn’t even want to, but god still says so
That’s just a hint / it cycling through things you can do with windows. It shows those while its updating
I did a fresh install of 11 recently and it took heckin forever after restrating like twice and doing lots of “setup”
It was a great processor and on a decent ssd, so i do think they’ve just increased how long the setup takes

Only want to run Linux as your primary operating system? If you are good with a slightly more complicated install process and don’t need access to Windows tools (like Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, etc), you can run Linux on bare metal to access the full potential of your hardware without any overhead from virtualization or emulation.
Funny, but did you manage to install it on a way too old pc or are you using hdd as System drive?
Because it just seems to install as normal, but slowly.
I mean Linux may take the same time if you install sth like popos which ads a lot of “bloat”
This is on an M.2 with a i7-10870H and a 3080M. I installed Windows some days ago on my main Desktop and didn’t have to deal with any of that. It must be a new “feature”.
Well then I wonder what the fuck Windows is doing? Running crypto miners?
When I had to reinstall Windows 11 on a laptop at work with an 11th Gen i7 it took a good 30+ minutes of it faffing about between finishing the setup wizard and reaching the deskfop and when I to installed PopOS on a much older laptop with a 6th Gen i7 it took less than 5 minutes to perform the install
There’s no such thing as an old crappy m.2. That format is way too new to be called old and crappy. Ide hdds are old and crappy, some sata are old and crappy, m.2 is not even old and certainly not crappy
There are definitely crappy M.2 drives. Drives with no cache, slow nand, slow processors, and awful TBW. They’ll be light years faster than a hard drive, but if they fail in a year then are they not crappy?
