I just built a new PC and tried using an SSD from my old computer that has Windows 11 installed. The PC boots into Windows fine, but I'm unable to install a fresh version of Windows. I keep getting an error during the installation process. I attempted to reset the PC, but that didn't help either. I also tried using an 8GB USB drive to install Windows from BIOS, but I can't seem to access the BIOS because the PC boots too quickly before I can get to it.

Before making any changes, always back up your data! If you’re experiencing issues with the SSD, the USB installation should be your best bet. Make sure you’re pressing the right keys as soon as you turn on the PC. If the normal keys don’t work, check the manufacturer website for your motherboard model for the correct key to access the BIOS.
It sounds like there might be some corrupted recovery files on your SSD, which could be the reason for the installation issue. Trying to boot from the USB drive is a good idea, but you need to hit the right key during startup to access the BIOS or boot menu. Typically, keys like Delete, Escape, or F12 work, so try those right after you power on the PC. If that doesn't get you in, look up your motherboard model online to find out the correct key to use for accessing the BIOS or boot options.
