How to Install Windows 11

So I posted a video on reinstalling Windows, with Windows 11. 

There is a story behind how that happened. I had the T460s that I was using to record videos. On the last video, while doing subtitles, the speakers started acting up and pretty much broke. So then, I ordered a pair of replacement speakers, and 16GB of RAM to add to it. 

While all of that was shipping, I found a T470 on Facebook Marketplace from a local seller going really cheap. So I decided to buy it. Turns out, it was a laptop in really good shape, with 16GB RAM, a SIM card slot, and touchscreen! So the new RAM went on it - making it a 32GB RAM laptop, perfect for running a bunch of virtual machines for the day when I demonstrate Kubernetes! And that has become my primary personal laptop.

In the process, I again had to reinstall Windows and Linux on it. Meanwhile, a video capture card I had ordered also arrived in the mail. So I figured, can I capture the boot / BIOS screens? And the idea formed, of doing a video on reinstalling Windows. 

Especially, now that I have a touchscreen ThinkPad, I might as well sell off the Microsoft Surface that I had bought (again used) sometime back for a touchscreen device? So if I do that, I will want to point my buyer at a video on how to reinstall Windows? Although, maybe I'll keep the Surface - we'll see.

Anyhow - here's the video:

I might do another on how to do a dual boot install of Linux on it later. We'll see.
