[SOLVED] Windows 10 Install error

[babadook1090]

Pls help. When i was installing windows 10. It got stuck for an hour. So i cancelled it and rebooted my pc. (I had windows 7 prior to this) When i booted it back up, this popped up. "A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source". Under that it says "File- \Windows\system32\winload.exe. Status- 0xc0000428
Info- Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file" I have no idea how to fix this. (I have a windows 10 install disk and a windows 7 one)

Stuck for an hour? that isn't normal. what stage of install was it at?

Is there anything on hdd you want to keep?
change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
type notepad and press enter
in notepad, select file>open
Use file explorer to copy any files you need to save to USB or hdd

otherwise I would wipe hdd and start again.

change boot order so USB is first, hdd second

choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose command prompt
type diskpart and press enter
type list disk and press enter
this shows all drives available, DVD/USB and hdd, make note of hdd number
type Select disk X - where X is the number of the hdd you want to wipe, change X to that number and press enter
once the drive you want to wipe is chosen, type Clean

now hdd is blank, clean install win 10. If you hadn't before, it might work better.
