Installing windows 10

[hjmhkh94]

Hi, I'm building a small pc for taking traveling to friends and I got all my comments from gradually upgrading my prebuilt pc from zoostorm which used to run windows 8. This copy of windows is now on my main upgraded rig and is now windows 10 from the upgrade last year and the prebuilt system is basically rebuilt again in a smaller case

I bought an OEM copy of windows 10 off of Amazon, put the disc in the drive and now I don't know what to do. Nothing happens. This is the first time I've done this. Help and guidance would be appreciated, thanks

What do you mean by "nothing happens" ?
Step by step, please...

So you have two different computers and one license?

You already installed Windows 10 on one computer and it will not install on your second computer?

How did you try, USB or DVD?

Where did you download the installation media?

No I bought an OEM copy of windows on amazon.

Right so pc boots to the zoostorm splash screen and says 'start pxe over ipv4" and times out, the does ipv6 and times out to the bios... How do I get it to start the windows installation to start?

1. You need to verify the DVD drive is first in the BIOS boot order.

2. What, exactly, did you buy from Amazon?

This is what bought.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Windows-Home-DVD-64-Bit/dp/B010S3UIG4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1527620183&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=windows+10

And the only boot options are "ip4 realtek pcie gbe family controller" and "ip6 realtor pcie gbe family controller" which is what the pc tried before the bios screen

"£13.91"?
Good luck with that license. Hopefully it might last more than 6 months.

Can you post a screencap or picture of your BIOS choices?

That is NOT legitimate Windows 10 license, it is a scam.
