  1. Trouble installing Windows 10 on a new machine


    I built a new computer over the weekend and I'm trying to install Windows 10 on it. I've purchased Windows 10 Pro and downloaded the .iso file to my MacBook Pro.


    I've tried to create the USB drive approximately 10 times using various techniques, but almost every time it fails to initiate the installation process. One time I did somehow manage to get the installation to start, but then the installation failed saying that the file `sources/install.wim` was corrupted.


    Things I've tried:

    • Formatting the USB stick
      • I've tried two different USB drives, both with ~8gb of capacity.
      • I used Disk Utility on my MacBook to format the drive.
      • I tried both ExFAT and MS-DOS FAT formats
      • When I try the MS-DOS FAT option, I am unable to copy the installation file onto the drive due to size constraints.
      • I've tried both "Master Boot Record" and "GUID Partition Map" schemes.

    • Booting the machine
      • I've tried going into the BIOS and disabling Compatibility Support Module
      • I've tried setting the Secure Boot OS Type to "Other OS"
      • I've made sure to got into the boot menu and select the usb drive.
      • On most attempts I get the following error:
        "Reboot and Select proper Boot device
        or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"

    Any ideas? What's the proper way to format my usb drive? Do I need to change any settings in my BIOS to get it to work with the install usb drive?


    Hardware details:

    • Motherboard: ASUS Prime x570 Pro
    • Video card: GTX 560 Ti
    • Processor: AMD Ryzen 3900x
    • SSD: None
    • HDD: 500gb


    Any ideas?

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
