Windows 10 Install [Need Help]

[Matthew_279]

My computer I'm building for a friend has given me a great amount of issues while trying to install windows 10. I have done the ISO Usb with Rufus and tried to boot with that. Failure... It only works when I dont have a hard drive installed. I have tried 2 hard drives and the same result occurs. Ik for a fact one HDD isn't broken as I pulled it out of a pc moments ago to test to see if my HDD was working.

It was suggested to me that I should put the creational tool onto my HDD and try to launch that instead of the USB. The instructions weren't that clear but it seems it would work.

Can anyone give me clear instructions on how to do that.

what are specs of PC? Something very odd happening if PC won't boot unless hdd not attached.. I assume both drives are blank?

Win 10 installer only works off USB or DVD, it won't install any other way. You cannot run it off the hdd, for instance.
