How do I install windows 10 on the new pc I just built?

[Mason allen]

I just finished building this pc and I've been trying for hours to install Windows 10 and just get it up and running. I've seen countless YouTube videos nothing is working.
I have a Asus rog motherboard so you know the bios I'm in but I am at a loss for downloading windows 10.
Some one please help me I just want to use my computer ffs

I start the download process and everything is going good and when it gets down to the "finishing up" part of the install a pop up shows saying "windows could not prepare the computer to not into the next phase of installation."

Also in the bios when I can choos what to boot from there is a
uefi: kdi-msftwindows 10 pmap, partition 1 (14784mb)
and then there is just a kdi-msftwindows 10 pmap
And finally my ssd
P1: toshiba-tl100

Can someone help with this? I don't know which one to boot to download. Wtf do I do?

Do you have another computer? You need to have Windows 10 on a USB stick to install it. It can be downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/

I bought windows 10 on a USB from Microsoft

So you need to change the boot order in your BIOS and change it to USB. Make sure the USB is in and power it on. You can also power it on than tap F12 like crazy until you get it list. If it doesn't detect the USB, try different ports (front and back).

I did that and it said screen capture successful

Wait what? What motherboard do you have?

Plug your USB stick with Windows on it in to your computer, then turn your computer on. Reformat your hard drive during installation and remove EVERY SINGLE partition.

How do I reformat my ssd during the install?

How do I reformat my ssd during the install?

when it gets to a list, like this the one at the bottom, delete all of the partitions, and create a new one, format it, and it should be the only one.

Maybe its a bad USB flash drive you got. It happens.

Alright it worked but it doesn't boot straight from my ssd I still have to go into the bios and then boot override my ssd. Even though the first boot option is my ssd. How do I get it to boot right through my ssd?

 

[Rocky Bennett]

How many drives do you have? Did you disconnect all drives EXCEPT your SSD during installation?

It's possible you installed it twice. When installing it, did you select your SSD?

 

[Rocky Bennett]

And remove your USB stick once it is installed.

 

[Mason allen]

Well last night I only had my ssd and it worked but then I went to boot and it put me at the bios and I tried to boot through my ssd again but it didn't work. Now it did but this time I also had my hdd installed

 

[Mason allen]

Now I need help with my LAN.
Last night this happened when I was trying to download drivers I couldn't connect to the internet even though I had an Ethernet cable plugged into my pc. And yes the router/modem combo it was plugged in from works. No I do not have wifi on my motherboard.

 

[Rocky Bennett]

You might need to update your motherboard driver. Do you have the DVD that came with your motherboard?

 

[Mason allen]

Yeah but I don't have a drive bay

 

[Rocky Bennett]

Do you have access to another computer? You will need to copy the driver from the DVD to a USB stick on another computer. You really need that driver in order to get your LAN to work, there is no other option.

 

[Mason allen]

Yeah I have another computer but where do I go to get the drivers? Will this fix the problem when I turn my computer on it won't go straight to bios?

 

[Rocky Bennett]

The drivers are on the DVD, you need to transfer the driver from the DVD to any USB stick then plug the USB stick into the new PC. You need that driver for your LAN and it is on the DVD.

[Rocky Bennett]

According to that thread that I just linked, you really need those drivers that are on your DVD but you should be able to download them from the Asus website and then put them onto the USB stick. If you can create a new bootable USB stick that includes those drivers along with the Windows 10 installation media, then that would be the optimal fix, but you can do it by just adding the drivers after Windows 10 is installed if you have to have to.

 

[Mason allen]

Alright I can do that. But first what about the boot problem?
