Good morning, everyone,
I have just bought an Acer Veriton Essential N2580 without an operating system, inside it I only find the UEFI Interactive Shell.
I have created a boot USB with a Windows 11 ISO downloaded directly from https://www.microsoft.com/it-it/software-download/windows11, once I insert the USB and boot it via F12 I get the UEFI Interactive Shell loaded with only fs0:
I tried booting the USB while holding ESC (to exit the Shell) but the stick is not detected.
As a further test I used the Windows 11 installation media creation tool but again the outcome is reloading the shell itself.
Another thing I have done is to select the fs0: in the shell, select the path efi/boot/ and start the boot file .efi but again the outcome is the same as the previous attempt.
As a USB stick I used a 128GB one, formatted with Rufus (I tried formatting it with MBR or GTP) to NSFT and then formatted it with the microsoft tool.
In the BIOS I disabled the TPM, set no password and set the USB as the first boot.
How do I install Windows 11? Is there any special procedure needed?
