[SOLVED] Cannot install windows 10 & 8.1 on my PC

[zeroix]

Hi, my PC originally installed with windows 10 64 bit. Later, my motherboard got faulty and I bought a secondhand motherboard for my PC. My problem is, I cannot boot windows 10 or windows 8.1 on my new(secondhand) motherboard. Here are the list of troubleshot that I've already done:
1) Format hard drive.
2) Install the latest motherboard bios.
What I have not done is buying a new motherboard because I scare it will not work. My PC spec - intel core i7-3770, msi b75-m, 500gb wd hard drive.
P.S- My pc is working no problem with windows 7.

There is a MSI b75ma-e33 & a MSI b75ma-p45, which is it?

E33 doesn't have many Win 10 drivers, seem to be enough for Win 8.1
P45 is about the same

finding any info on installing windows on it is a pain. You should be able to install win 8 given choice of drivers, win 10 might be a struggle.

@Colif Mine is e33. The other thing that I forgot to mention is originally I used Asus H61m-c motherboard and it works fine for windows 10. I've tried using secondhand gigabyte h61m motherboard but it wont boot windows 10 and windows 8.1 but works fine on windows 7.

Be more specific about what error do you get. "I cannot boot windows 10" is too vague. You install Win10 OK but it doesn't boot after restart?

I am yet to see any motherboard which doesn't work with Win10. Done a lot of installs on 775 socket motherboards and Windows 10 always works just fine, given you know where to get drivers when they are not listed on motherboard support.

I have helped people where only way to get 10 on is by installing 7 or 8 first so its got some drivers to work with. Intel no longer support lga 775 so finding drivers on the win 10 installer that will boot from the hardware can be a problem.

You should check about your secondhand MB if it's compatible with win 10

Update: I'm very sorry for not replying to other comments because I'm busy lately. So, I have found a solution which is I bought an Asus h61 motherboard secondhand and it works like a charm. Thanks for all your help. Much appreciate.
