XPS 8930, Windows 11 upgrade?
I have a problem free 8930. I would like to do the free upgrade to 11. I would like to do a clean install. I currently have two 4t hard drives for storage. I could disconnect them in a second. My printer is wireless. There is nothing I need on the ssd operating drive. Can it be done? Thanks for the help

yes it can be done. disconnect the two hdd, download MS Win 11 installation media tool to make a bootable USB. boot 8930 from USB. delete all old partitions on old ssd, click next. It may even automatically activate Win 11 if it came from Dell with a Win 10 oem key embedded in bios.
