    Installation fails at "Where do you want to install Windows?"


    I am attempting to install Windows 10 on a Lenovo 580G Laptop. The old hard drive was replaced by a 450 GB SSD which before installation in the Lenovo was initialized and formatted on another Windows Laptop ACER Aspire 515-54 via a USB-to-SATA adapter. The initialize and format options selected were: MBR instead of GPT, New Simple Volume, NTFS, Quick Format, No Compression, all other options to Default. The SSD was next installed into the Lenovo Laptop. On the Acer Laptop I downloaded from the Microsoft Online Store the MediaCreationTool20H2.exe file. I inserted a USB Flash Drive into the Acer Laptop and then opened the 20H2 file, selecting USB as the Media-to-Use. The Flash Drive was loaded with no problems noted. Then the USB Flash Drive was removed from the Acer Laptop and inserted into the Lenovo Laptop. Next, the Lenovo Laptop was powered up and BIOS set to boot up on the USB. The Media Creation Tool 20H2 ran ok until the window "Where do you want to install Windows?" showed "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information see the Setup log files." The window also showed two partitions so why the program could not find one is a mystery. That ended the attempt. Any help in determining where I went wrong would be appreciated.

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.
