select partition 3 (Windows partition with \Windows directory)
assign letter=W
this generates:
Virtual Disk Service error:

I tried to save the key on my profile, but it didn’t want to do so.
I tried...
thanks @ChatGPT, but I have to tell you that it is not so secure if I managed to tamper with it unwillingly (and I still don’t know how), and now a genuine fix is halted in any possible way…
Being a Lenovo, it has a Lenovo recovery partition. Is it of any help?
Thanks, unfortunately at "Enter Repair/Advanced Options > Command Prompt."
it opens this:
Of course I don’t have a Bitlocker key(if it is asking for one) and in my account at the link https://aka.ms/myrecoverykey there isn’t any.
Hello mob!
Yesterday I was installing Linux Mint on a USB key, I repeat, ON, from another live USB key, and at some point GRUB took the place of the Windows Bootloader. I am not sure when, as everything was installed on the USB key, with the bootloader was to be put on the USB key, I even...
Thanks, I am here just to report that after wiping clean both hard drives, I managed to install successfully Windows 11.
I will mark this thread as solved.
In the end I think I will keep the Intel laptop. It's out of topic, but I try to ask:
Both Lenovo ThinkBook, one G7 ARP (the one ordered) the other one G8 IRL (the one arrived).

G8 IRL is Intel Core 5...

Thanks, at this point I guess I can assign letter W to volume 1, and C to volume 5, where likely it will be the forever install, the other one will be forgotten over time. Right?
Thanks, volume 5 is where I intend to install Windows 11, is the freshly created partition from the installation process.
It wouldn't hurt to fix the original installation in the process, though
Thanks, I know see many entries in bcdedit:
Firmware application (101fffff) look like from the installation USB, some are DVD (non existent here, btw), network, and of course I don't touch these.
I then have the bootloaders, 7.
The first one marks partition=C:, so I guess it is the original one...
Hi, under the What went wrong section:
1, No, all gpt.
2, no mess confusing Legacy BIOS/UEFI. Just UEFI.
3, Maybe. Where are these stored? In the HDD? How can I clean them up, please?
Ideally, I would like to have the nvme driver working, and having access to the data of the previous...
