Tip what? Before copying the system, did you change the USB disk format to FAT32?

An old version of Windows 11 Pro in this prepared USB-install image/folder (which was created a long time after 23H2 was released).
What's the avdantage (if any) of using the prepared content compared to downloading and creating a install USB using the official Media Creation Tool from Microsoft ?

The installation file provided is made to be easy to use, it includes the required drivers preinstalled, and in models where this applies, any drivers that have to be installed in a specific way are again already a part of the system.
As well, it takes time for them to update to new versions of Windows because they test the new versions out on the particular model, along with any new drivers, to make sure everything is working properly.

The hard drive of AM06 Pro supports up to 2TB. If it cannot start, please check whether the new SSD contains the system.
Any idea where this strange belief comes from? There has never been a storage limit on any NVMe or SATA drive on any system ever in the history of this technology. Whether you put in 2tb, 4tb or 8tb, they all work. Now, whether or not they will fit (some are double-sided) and whether or not they might over-heat (mini cases often do not have good air flow on the storage and ram side).
Try it some time. Replace a 2TB LIMIT reported drive with a 4TB or 8TB NVMe and you'll see it works just fine.
The manufacturers appear to be placing the maximum size available at the time of writing (2TB used to be the biggest NVMe you could buy years ago and limited by MBR partitions used back in those years past on new installs) and they call it a "limit", which USED to be true until 4TB and 8TB drives came out. No BIOS update is needed. Its based on how NVMe works in any BIOS that accepts it.
The manufacturers also like to refer to the storage reported on the box as ROM (read only memory) when they mean to say SSD. This bizarre complete misuse of the tech words is not only completely wrong, but its also very confusing since people expect a ROM to be a CD/DVD or Blu-Ray drive.
Run your tests. No such capacity limit exists in any BIOS that supports NVMe and never has. The 2TB limit was a carryover from years old previous models that no one in marketing updated. Perhaps the confusion comes from the old MBR partition used on Windows a decade ago? GPT partitions should be the standard for the last 10 years.... These Mini PCs (ALL OF THEM) boot fine in GPT and do so automatically these days regardless of drive size. Test it and see for yourself. Let me know what you experience.
Just FYI....
Thanks,

The steps for formatting the flash drive are 0:16 into the instructional video. Instead of NTFS as shown in the video, format it to FAT32. The rest of the steps are the same.

Grazie innanzitutto delle informazioni ora, io ho questo disco che vorrei montare al posto dell'originale :
Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series – 1TB PCIe NVMe è compatibile secondo te? perchè quando ho provato ha montarlo con già installato win 11 del mio vecchio PC è apparsa la pag. del Bios ma il sistema non partiva. ora voglio riprovare con il disco vuoto partendo da zero, c'è qualche opzione nel Bios da modificare? grazie 1000.
Thanks first of all for the information now, I have this disc that I would like to mount instead of the original:
Is Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series – 1TB PCIe NVMe compatible in your opinion? because when I tried to mount it with Win 11 already installed on my old PC, the page appeared. of the Bios but the system did not start. now I want to try again with the empty disk starting from scratch, is there any option in the Bios to change? thank you 1000

Boa tarde!
Também preciso de uma imagem do Windows 11 Pro!
Comprei o Mini Pc Nipogi AM06 Pro na Amazon ES, com a certeza de que trazia o Windows 11 Pro.. todas as reviews e comentários que li, afirmavam que o Nipogi AM06 Pro trazia o Windows 11 Pro.
Quando o liguei aqui na empresa, verifiquei que possui o Windows 11 Home.
Estou muito desiludido.. e a pensar em devolver o Nipogi AM06 Pro à Amazon ES.
Alguém me pode ajudar com esta situção?
Desde já, Obrigado!

If the unit description stated that it was to come with Windows 11 Pro, I would contact barry777, a tech for the company, at
barry@minipcunion.com to see what he can do for you. I would include your Amazon Order number, as well as a snapshot of the Amazon product page where it specifically states that the unit was to come with Windows 11 Pro. Not the comments or reviews, but the actual description by the manufacturer.
The company has been gradually transitioning to the Home version of Windows 11, so while you may see reviews and comments that say that their unit came with Windows 11 Pro, that doesn't necessarily mean that it does now.
