Hello,

Has anyone able to boot Windows 11 without problems? I've looked over numerous forum posts and YouTube videos but I'm still unable to get it to boot for installation and was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of help since Proxmox knowledge isn't the best.


Just get the following screen no matter on the boot order:

Any help would be appreciated :)
 
Nevermind.... got it working. Changed to ide2 (CD iso) and pressed any key during boot and worked.

Pointless post...but will leave up for visibility for anyone else having problems.
