Question Windows 10 Completely Dead?!

[SunnyBunny420]

I’ve been losing my mind for a while now at trying to install windows 10.

After a lot of searching online I found someone who has the exact same problem, they wrote an in the Microsoft help page but didn’t get a fix.

Can anyone work out how to fix it.

Are you trying to install with windows on a boot USB? Is your hard drive blank? To boot from USB you have to change the boot settings in the Bios or have a blank hard drive.

Can I not boot to a hard drive that’s been used before?

You're not booting from USB.
Could be - your USB windows install media is not properly created and not bootable or
you don't know, how to set your pc to boot from USB or
you're trying to boot into wrong mode (your USB install media is not created for mode, you're using - legacy or UEFI).

I made the windows install media on my own computer, I’ve redone it 3 times and I still get the same result, should I use another usb? What did you mean by the install media created for mode?

On another computer, Download the media creation tool here : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 then go to the line: Using the tool to create installation USB 8GB or larger
You have to run the software on a computer and follow the steps to create the USB or DVD, you can't just copy to a USB.

 

[Mr.Spock]

definitely try the media creator tool - install Win10 64-bit w/o a key and activate later with your key once the installation seems stable

I’ve tried making the media creation tool three times with it still not working.

I’ve tried this multiple times.

 

[Mr.Spock]

in bios, you may have to enable legacy boot mode, change the boot order - or worst case burn a DVD (DL).

I’ve tried this multiple times.
