Windows 11 install resulted in 3 boot drives in BIOS


MOoD90s

Question

I re-installed Window 11 over Windows 11 on an M.2 SSD. I wanted to do clean install, not a repair or update & thought I selected all the correct options.

One thing the install asked is which partition do I want to install in, which confused me. By default partition 3 was selected. I continued.

Later it asked if I wanted to continue with the update or delete everything first (or words to that effect). I wanted to delete everything.

When I thought everything was done it asked the same questions again. I thought something went wrong & went through the process again, only to have the install ask the same questions. Then I indicated to not erase everything & eventually finished.

Everything works, but do you think the install was really a clean one where it got rid all the previous data, settings, etc?

I now have 3 boot drives in BIOS which appear identical. How to I delete duplicates & does it matter which ones I delete?

Should I do another clean install of Windows? I don’t know why it kept steering down the path it did, but how do I make sure this doesn’t happen again?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
