Windows 10: Error installing from Windows 10 PRO USB version

Would need help please.


I cannot start my Windows 10 PRO installation using the original USB stick I bought for my new PC that I build myself (3rd up to now).

But I have no problem installing windows using another USB stick I have for another computer. And of course using my new key number which is valid and registered. Using it since a month or so.


Now I want to replace my hard drives with SSD's but I end up with the same error than last time.

I could again use my other USB stick but I would realy like to solve this problem once for all.

I only have one SSD installed brand new. And no other drive connected.


This is what I did:


Inserted the USB stick and turned on computer
Selected "windows setup (64-bit)
Then got the error "Windows Boot Manager = Windows failed to start. Recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

1- Insert your Windows installation disk and restart your computer

2- Choose your language settings, and then click "Next"

3- Click Repair your computer.

If you do not have this disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe

Status: 0xc0000225

Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors"


So, because I don't get this error using another USB stick, I should explain what I did one month ago when I first installed windows.

1- I updated the BIOS using EZ bios utility over Internet, as soon as I entered the bios , before getting to the with windows 10 installation.

2- I had one blank new 1TB HDD for my C: and a second one for my D: that contained Windows 10 from my other computer. Which I forgot to diskpart: Clean before starting the installation.


Today, I only have one new SSD for my C: and not other drives connected.

Still getting the same errors.


It's like if some file was written on my Windows 10 PRO USB flash drive. But if I'm right, isn't that supposed to be write protected ?


I searched a lot for an answer. Tried everything I could. I know I could download an online version to a new USB flash drive that I would buy, but there must be something realy simple I am missing.


Thank you for your help

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

Hello guys,

I'm planning to get a new graphics card and lets just go ahead and do a clean install aswell. Now I have bought a windows PRO key online and my running OS is windows PRO. Now I want to set up my usb to make a clean install. I wanted to use the windows tool to download the PRO version but its not in the drop down box. I have tried selecting different languages but I still couldn't find it. Now my question is, can I use my pro key on a normal windows 10? If so, my problem is solved. If not, how can I download the pro version from the tool?

UPDATE::

Apperently when the install is happening, windows will select the right version depending on the product key version. So PROBLEM SOLVED *Smile

 

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

As far as I am aware there is no Windows 10 Pro version.
But I'd be happy to be wrong.
