Windows installation on an Acer Nitro? (lemmy.world)

G'day,

I decided to put Linux Mint on my laptop without dual booting for a while first. I have come to the realisation that I still need Windows but am having a hard time getting an installation happening. I downloaded the official Windows 11 .iso and created a bootable flash drive in Mint. It works but stops when it asks for drivers. Is this a laptop thing or an Acer thing?

I had this with a scratched DVD, therefore a corrupted image. Said image should be self-sufficient by now, and if it isn't it's probably incorrectly read in the process. Try just copying the contents of ISO to your installation drive and restart the installation.
