In this article, I will guide you step-by-step through the process of installing Windows 11 Enterprise (Corporate). Attention! In this article, I will explain how to install this version of the system without having a work (non-personal) Microsoft account.
I will be installing the system from scratch, so make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
1) The first thing you need to do is download the Windows 11 Enterprise installer. You can download it from our catalog.
2) Next, you need to create a bootable flash drive with this system. The flash drive should be at least 8 GB. You can write the installer to the flash drive using this guide or by using Rufus with this guide.
3) Now, boot from the flash drive by setting it as the priority for booting in UEFI (BIOS), and begin the installation process.
The first window will ask you to select the default language and keyboard layout. Leave everything as it is and click “Next”.
Press “Install now”.
In the Windows 11 edition selection menu, choose Windows 11 Enterprise.
Check the box to accept the terms of the license agreement.
As I am installing the system from scratch, choose “Custom Install.”
Next, select the appropriate disk or partition for the system installation. In our example, there is only one disk, but you may have more than one. Choose accordingly.
The system will then start unpacking and installing files. After installation, your PC will restart.
After the restart, wait for the initial setup of Windows 11 Enterprise (Corporate).
