I've finally managed to boot my PC into the Windows installer from my USB drive, but when I try to install Windows, everything seems to go fine initially. However, my PC ends up restarting and takes me back to the beginning of the installation process. It feels like I'm stuck in a loop! Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

First things first, you might want to update your motherboard's BIOS. Once that’s done, grab the latest offline version of the Windows installation kit. Try performing the installation without having Wi-Fi or any internet access; this can greatly reduce potential issues. Make sure you're starting fresh—consider deleting any partitions from the previous attempts. I’ve had similar problems due to connectivity issues, so this might just do the trick for you. Also, don’t forget to get the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard and install those before connecting to the internet after Windows is up.
Should I disconnect my ethernet while installing? I’m using the Windows 11 media creation tool from their site.
