Struggle Installing Windows 10

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello, 

I found others had this issue as well. I am trying to install windows 10 with a 32GB 3.0 USB. I used Microsoft's media creation tool (MCT). I tried various bios settings and launching from USB and UEFI, and both the 2.0 and 3.0 sockets on back of mobo, all resulting in a quick flash of the windows logo then nothing... Strangely enough, on about the 30th attempt with the USB back in the 3.0, it froze again... I restarted and same didn't get in uefi in time to change more settings, it auto booted and randomly worked... 

I've always built my own computers for 12 years and I never recall windows being this much of a pain to get installed. What's going on here?

	flaky USB drive? .. Did you try recreating the media? Any issues with Windows now that it's installed?
