Question Why is my Laptop crashing when installing X Plane 11?

[derek1036]

Hi guys, i own an Acer Predator Helios 300:
8 GB Ram
GTX 1060 (6GB)
Windows 10 64-Bit

I uninstalled X plane 11 then i decided to reinstall it. My problem is, when i try to reinstall it, my screen went black and a message popped up saying " No bootable device detected". I already fixed it through the BIOS and I successfully booted to desktop. When reinstalling for the second time, it was actually going well when all of a sudden, the installation stopped at 62% and the setup wizard froze, giving me a Blue screen error. When the pc rebooted, the "No bootable device detected" message popped up again. How can i reinstall this game without any problems? thanks

yeah, the install isn't the problem, it's your drive most likely.

It's an SSD, 256GB and its the only drive on my laptop.

how full is the drive?

Maybe like, 46.6 GB free of 256GB, most of my files are actually PDF files for work.
