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.
