So today I installed my hard drive into my other system because the original system just broke. On first boot, windows was stuck on 20% for "Getting devices ready" so I decided to restart the PC. When I restarted it said ethernet wasn't connected even though it was so I went onto my laptop to download Intel LAN and chipset drivers. I loaded it into my PC and tried to install it but any install I tried was always stuck at around 60%. Restarts also don't work, it just hangs there forever. If anyone could help me with this, that would be great.

This old hdd, was it an install from another build? win 10 is pretty good at moving but even its not perfect.

You might be better doing a fresh install

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

when you reach the screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and might reactivate after install, but you might have to contact MS via settings/update & security/activation - look in bottom of right column for contact details), If you explain what you did, and know previous licence key/email address, they should tfr activation

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)

Thanks, I had to completely wipe everything after recovering my important files.
