tested it yesterday ,i did not like the new setup via booting to the media, you have to ceck a box that you will loose all your files, dont like that , as how does it know i am not going to another partition, as i have 3 drives and 9 partitions and 4 operating systems on my pc.

During a Windows install, it is strongly recommended to have only ONE drive physically connected.
Among other things, prevents an 'oops'.

It has been this way for years.

FWIW: my built in camera (s22) doesn't pick up the link, but google lens search will.

Why does everyone mess up this word? It's lose.

I hear you! I used to have 7 drives (5 HDDs and 2 NVMe's), and several more partitions than that (I just installed an 8TB Toshiba x300, to take the place of my hardrives--all except one), and I live in the beta channel of the Insider's group, and the cumulative updates for upgrade installs can't be beat. I agree with you. The people who write these articles aren't in the Insider's groups because they always assume that what happens in one channel (Preview, in this case) happens in them all. It doesn't. It takes me ~3 minutes on average to install a new build, via upgrade, including reboots, as Microsoft has adopted the Cumulative Update model. It's great. I haven't used the .iso creation method for a build in so long, I can't remember the last time I used it...😉

Seems pointless asking you to verify country and keyboard settings in text setup and then again in the GUI settings?

You would think they would provide the links as QR codes for simplicity of use ...
