Installing Windows 10 problem

[Yinfin22]

When I try to install windows 10 into my newly built pc, everything goes normally... then it says that the pc need to reboot, and it does. After the reboot, the windows logo appears and it brings me back to the windows installation process. I don't know what the problem is and what to do about it, and I need help on this.

Is the hdd listed as the first boot device in the BIOS?

it sounds like after the reboot it is booting of the installation media again.

No, I put the usb with the windows installation as the first and the hdd as the second.

Unplug the USB stick and boot the computer. What happens?

Put the HDD as the first boot device. If there is no OS on the HDD, the system will boot of the USB.

It goes to the hdd and it says "No bootable device detected, Press any key to restart" or something like that.

make the HDD your first boot device.

When you install Win10, at the screen where you pick the drive/disk to install windows on, how many drives/disks are listed?

There is only one hdd, but there are two listed.

Is the second one your USB stick? And is it listed as Disk/Drive 0?

Some USB sticks are recognized as HDD.

The problem you are having is that Windows is seeing the boot info on the USB stick and, therefore, is not creating the boot partitions on the HDD.

You might have to try a different USB stick.

I've done a little bit of research... i think that it has to do with uefi and legacy boot... what do you think?

I know that Windows10 likes to have UEFI enabled because it prefers to use GPT partitions
