I'm in a real pickle here, folks. I woke up one night to find my PC showing a blue screen with a message that said Windows couldn't boot. I thought it was a temporary glitch, so I turned it off. The next day, it still wouldn't start properly. I've tried quite a few fixes, like using CMD and rolling back updates, but nothing works. Then I decided to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 since there's not much on my 'C' drive. I got a new SSD and attempted to install it using the official media installer, but it told me I didn't meet the specs. After disabling TMP and a few other settings, the installation started but then rebooted and said Windows was corrupt. Now, I'm stuck in an endless loop where the install process reboots back to the start every time, crashing anywhere between 12% and 60%. I've tried all sorts of things including Diskpart commands, different drives, and even reseating RAM. I'm stuck in a cycle of Boot > Start Install > Reboot. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to create a new boot disk using Hasleo Win2USB. Make sure to select options that bypass the specs requirement, then boot from that newly created USB. It could help get around the installation issues you're facing.
Try getting some dump files for analysis. If you can boot into Windows normally or through Safe Mode, look for any crash logs in C:WindowsMinidump. Zip them up and upload them to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. If you don't find any dump files, follow a guide online to configure your system to create small memory dumps. It's helpful for pinpointing the issue!
Is this different than what Rufus offers? I thought I had disabled the specs in Rufus already.
