I started setting up my new Frostbyte Pro prebuilt PC with Windows 11, but I encountered an error during the process. After naming the PC, it was almost done with the installation when it showed an OOBE Device Name Commit Error. I tried to press 'try again' multiple times but nothing worked, so I pressed 'skip', and it led to a black screen that just says 'Just a moment', which has been stuck for hours. I've attempted to restart the PC and used forced shutdowns to access WinRE, but all it does is say 'attempting repairs' before returning to the black screen. I even checked the BIOS settings but couldn't find anything useful. Am I stuck with a bricked computer just because I named it? Is there anything I can do?

A good option is to create a Windows installation USB stick using another computer. By doing a fresh reinstall, you can avoid a lot of the tedious debugging. Trust me, it saves a ton of hassle!
Hey! After a while, my PC eventually moved past the black screen to the installation screen, but I'm facing a new problem: none of the USB ports recognize my mouse or keyboard anymore. They light up in BIOS, but then they shut off. I'm ready to do a clean install, but I’m worried the computer won't detect the USB stick if the ports aren't working!
Absolutely! Just check out the link for creating the installation media: [Create Windows Installation Media](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-installation-media-for-windows-99a58364-8c02-206f-aa6f-40c3b507420d#id0ejd=windows_11). It’ll guide you through it!
