Thanks so much ! This worked great. Can this cause an issue if I was to clean install on the same partition I previously renamed the OS on? I have two Win11Pro versions each on different partitions of the same physical disk. But then I decided format / clean install that OS again. Got error at "Getting files ready for installation"- 67%. Should I have changed the bcdedit name back to default (Windows 11) before formatting / clean installing that partition or it should not matter? Thank you!!
