You would think that Microsoft with its virtually unlimited manpower and knowledge of its own operating system could not have made such basic mistake, but it did. When the installer for Windows 11 24H2 is created on a USB thumbdrive to be used to install Windows on a blank disk, early in the installation process, there is a bug where if you choose the default settings, the installer routine would not give you the option to pick what partition to install Windows 11 onto. You would not get this window.
Instead, the installing process will install into the primary partition. If there is an existing copy of Windows there, it will replace it. This makes creating a dual boot system impossible.
Fortunately, the buggy installer offers the option to Select Previous Version at Setup which when selected, will use the Windows 10 version of the setup where such a bug does not exist. If you choose this option, you get the desired screen with all partitions listed.
