Use the other installation disc that says 64-bit. When you insert it, Windows Setup will restart automatically.

  • When I open setup.exe that is in sources folder, it shows this error:

This 32-bit version of Windows cannot be installed to an EFI-based computer. Installation cannot proceed. Use a 64-bit version of Windows to install to an EFI-based computer.

    Why don't you use Microsofts Windows 11 Media Creation Tool. It downloads the necessary files and creates a bootable USB stick that works.

    There isn’t a 32-but version of Windows 11. Do you currently have a 32-bit version of Windows 10 installed? Edit your question instead of submitting a comment

  • You should be able to just install Windows 11 64-bit fresh (you cannot upgrade a 32-bit system). The download is about 3 GB. Will your internet not handle that?

I used Media Creation Tool and it worked!

Note: If you still want to use Rufus, this problem can also be fixed by selecting Standard Windows 11 Installation option in image options
