I have put together a brand new build with all new components. I was able to get to my BIOS and make some edits just fine and now would like to install a new copy of Windows 10. I used the Windows "Media Creation Tool" to create a bootable USB. Booting from the USB and selecting install Windows on a new machine all works fine, until the computer restarts (and boots from my SSD) and I get the error message I listed in the title, "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation".
I have looked and tried a few other solutions from this forum to no avail. Trying to run "msoobe" from the command prompt (accessed via booting from the USB once Windows is installed) does not work. I navigate to the correct directory and try to run msoobe.exe but nothing happens. I have tried to create a bootable USB with the updated firmware for my SSD but was unable to get the computer to boot from that USB.
My best guess is that it has something to do with a setting in my BIOS so that my operating system, SSD, and motherboard can all communicate appropriately. However I am unsure what that would be. There are options in the MSI Click BIOS 5 to enable/disable "Windows 7 Installation" and "Windows 8.1/10 WHQL Support" which I have already tried various iterations of and did not help.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
