Hi,

I would like to do fresh windows 11 instalation on razer blade 15 advanced (early 2021), how should I proceed?

Should I just download instalation media creation tool from Microsoft? Or is there a better way maybe update to 11 and then do recovery?

I don’t want to update, I want clean isntall.

I recently did the same on my Blade Stealth 13 Late 2019 and had no problems. I personally made a USB from an ISO I got straight from Microsoft, I didn't use the media creation tool but I feel like that's an easier option. I did lose my touchpad though. Had to connect an external mouse until I got all the drivers up and running. Just make sure you have all the Razer drivers downloaded and ready to install when you boot back up. Hopefully all the drivers on their page are up to date, unlike mine.
The easiest way to upgrade to Windows 11 from WIndows 10 is via Windows Update.

For a clean install you need to download the Windows 11 iso file from Microsoft.

https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

After download create a bootable Windows 11 USB flash drive using Rufus. https://rufus.ie/en/
Boot from the USB flashdrive. You have the option of upgrading from your current Windows 10 or do a clean install after formatting your internal SSD drive. Windows 11 will automatically detect most drivers. After Windows 11 install download install the Razer Synapse software from the Razer website. Download and install the Nvidia graphics drivers from the Nvidia website.
