    I have been having this problem for a few days. Brand new build.

    I made a USB boot drive on my Mac, using the NTFS file system (I downloaded a piece of software to allow for NTFS file system on Mac) and the most recent ISO for Windows 10 from the Microsoft site.

    It auto-runs fine, but always stops after the "Install now" screen with "A media driver your computer needs is missing..".

    I have tried the switching the USB after that happens, multiple reinstalls of the boot USB...but NOTHING works.

    Has anyone else come across this? Feel like I have wasted money on a PC build right now.
