Windows Standalone fails to install

“Fails to install although storage is set to 60GB, RAM test both 4GB & 16GB likewise VCPUs tested both 2 and 6.
Not certain what to do now as won’t install. Appears Ive done all correct however uncertain to why there is an issue.”
Managed to bypass successfully however when attempting to install I get a fail notice.

Has anyone encountered such issues?.. as it should simply install with the selection of the private storage allocation to partition.
Anyone who attempted or currently running Windows as a standalone input would be great.

Thanks for the response. I had already resolved the issue. Just gave my desktop a restart and it started working as a last resolve.
Sorry for taking up your time :pray:
