I would try all the USB ports.
I would also try another USB stick.
I would also reset the BIOS...although I doubt this is the issue but I would do it anyway.
...and I would also make sure that the USB stick was bootable....I might try it on another machine.
I didn't realize that machine was so old.I tried to do all of the above, sadly none of them worked.
I tried to install Windows on a diferent pc with the same pen drive and the Windows setup started...
The bios looks really old, could that be the problem?
The computer has 2Gb.I didn't realize that machine was so old.
I think Windows 10 might not even run on it.
it only supports 1 GB max ram and Windows needs 1 GB min ram.
If it were me I wouldn't even try to install Windows 10 on it.
Maybe I would try Windows XP.
So you think i should use Windows 7 instead?I stand corrected.....I see 2 GB max....but I'm still thinking the same thing.
I will try to install Windows 7 but i dont think i Will have any luck🙄I'm thinking that even if you manage to get Windows 10 installed it's going to run awful....as in slow.
I'm running Windows 7 on a machine with 2GB and a Pentium 4 (because I have to for work) and it annoys me because it's so slow.....so I'm thinking 10 would be god awful slow.
If 7 runs ok for you....I'd run 7. I think it should be faster.
Yes. Windows 7 on such old laptop would run better than windows 10.So you think i should use Windows 7 instead?
No luck with Windows 7... I have legacy mode enabled but its not showing on the boot list.Yes. Windows 7 on such old laptop would run better than windows 10.
You have to install in legacy mode.
Your windows 10 installation media most likely is for UEFI mode only. Not campatible with your laptop.
