Hey Francisco. It appears there is something amiss with the VM you created prior to installing AlmaLinux is broken. Have you tried deleting the VM and trying once more? I’d also recommended to try it on another virtualization platform such as VirtualBox. Otherwise, the installation should proceed without an issue.

This process is so painful, once you download the iso file it shouldn’t take so much time to be installed as all other distros do. I am trying to install it on VM Hyper-v it definitely doesn’t work. I left my laptop overnight and nothing happened so disgustingly. Even changing the mirrors nothing happened, I believe even if the mirror was in my garage this won´t work by the way I will try to find another way.

Hi, I don’t know why but in the process between steps 2 and 3, instead of arriving to step 3 and then starting the configuration of installation (step 4), it restarts the process back to step 1. Any clues why could this be? I have an HP Victus 16-d0057ns, with Windows 10, and the factory specifications. Thanks.

Thanks for the answer although the process as you describe seems a little odd. Usually, once the installation ends, there is a reboot allowing for 1) the removal of the installation medium, 2) booting into the newly installed system from the HD/SSD rather than from USB.

Hey Dragonmouth, There is no reboot at all between Step 35 and Step 36. Shortly after clicking on the ‘FINISH CONFIGURATION button, the login screen is displayed prompting you to log in with the user you configured on Step 28.
