Record a system reinstallation of the Naruto notebook T6A

I've been using this Fire Shadow Notebook T6A for nearly a year, and recently I decided to reinstall the system on a whim. The process of reinstalling the system is something everyone is familiar with, and this article's focus is not to teach you how to reinstall, but rather to document the software and settings needed after reinstallation, hoping to provide some reference and help for friends with similar needs.

1. Preparations Before Reinstalling the System#

Before you start reinstalling the system, be sure to back up all important data, such as documents, photos, and videos. It is recommended to use an external hard drive or cloud storage (like Baidu Cloud or OneDrive) for backup to prevent data loss and ensure everything is secure.

2. Selecting Boot Options#

Fire Shadow Notebook T6A shortcut keys: F2 to enter BIOS, F7 to select boot options

Insert the boot USB drive: Insert the PE boot USB drive (I used FirPE) that has the latest original Windows 11 image written on it into the notebook's USB port.
Restart the computer: Click restart to prepare to enter the boot selection interface.
Enter boot selection: Quickly press the F7 key when the computer starts to bring up the boot option selection menu.
Select USB boot: Find the boot disk in the list and press the Enter key to confirm the boot.

3. Installing the System#

Before starting the system reinstallation, I want to remind everyone: during the installation process, the system will automatically format the drive you choose to install to. This means that all data on that drive will be erased and cannot be recovered. Therefore, please be sure to back up all important data, such as documents, photos, and videos, before proceeding with the system installation. You can back up this data to an external hard drive, cloud storage, or other secure storage devices. Only after ensuring data safety should you proceed with the system installation.

Enter PE environment: The computer will boot from the USB drive and enter FirPE (a lightweight boot environment based on Windows PE).
Run the installation program: In the FirPE environment, find and run the system installation program.
Select installation options: Follow the prompts of the installation wizard to choose the image to install, installation location, partitions, etc., so easy.
Wait for installation to complete: The installation program will automatically install the Windows 11 system, and the entire process is very quick, a foolproof installation.

4. Installing Drivers#

After the system installation is complete, the first step is to install drivers; otherwise, there may be display issues and other problems.

CPU and GPU drivers: Go to the official websites of the CPU and GPU (such as Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD) to download and install the latest version of the drivers.
Bluetooth driver and accompanying control center: Next, visit the notebook manufacturer's support website (like the Fire Shadow Notebook official website) to download and install the Bluetooth driver and the accompanying control center software.
