Hello. I'm trying to install Windows 10 on my pc, and it meets the requirements. When I tried to install it with the Windows 10 USB I bought from the Microsoft website, it froze midway through. I waited about 20 minutes and still nothing. I shut the computer down and restarted. This time, I didnt hit any keys and let it load. While it was loading, it told me that it was broken and I needed to reinstall. I tried it again, and it still froze midway. I tried to reinstall the files onto the usb incase they were corrupt, and even that didn't work. I tried to delete the files off of the usb and I saw that it was WriteProtected. I also tried burning it to a CD but the file was too large. What should I do now? I'm very lost and frustrated because I've been waiting for weeks for this.

The restart you tried would have just have it trying to complete the failed install, as opposed to trying it again from scratch.

Just keep a cool head, keep talking to us, and we'll get you through it, no reason that it should fail. You do have access to another machine?
