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?

Are you sure the ISO you downloaded is ok?

Do you have access to another Windows PC you could create the install drive from using the official tool instead?

Did you wipe everything to install Windows with a "fresh" machine or you're trying to install it while keeping Linux?
