    Cant install retail win10 to new M2 Drive


    Hi, I just build a new system and was looking forward to finishing it off by installing Win10 to the M2 drive. It's a completely new ADATA 960GB drive with factory settings (only drive attached). ASUS ROG X470-1 Mobo, 16G G.Skill RAM. The ADATA drive shows up fine in POST and Im able to select the USB to boot in UEFI mode. The USB was purchased from a Microsoft retail shop, and comes on a 16G USB in FAT32.


    However, every time the installation BSODs with stop code 0xc000021a after selecting with version of win10 to install (64 or 32). After googling, this seems to be a common problem many has encountered when installing one drives and Ive tried all recommended solutions without any luck, this includes:


    Disabling CSM

    Disabling Secureboot and enabling it, trying both Other OS and Windows UEFI

    Clearing security keys and loading default ones

    Booting both in UEFI and legacy modes


    Nothing seems to work, and I do not have access to a computer to download and create a new USB drive.


    Any suggestions on what to do?


    /David

    upgraded Win7 retail to Win10. HOW do I install this license on NEW HARDWARE?

    I've upgraded my PC to WIN10 from Win7 with a retail(non-OEM) license.

    What are the steps i need to take to
    install and activate that license on a NEW PC?

    Migration from Hdd to m2.SSD

    Recently I have purchased a new laptop (hp probook 450 G4) and a new original windows 10 home edition and now I want to upgrade my 1 TB Hdd to a new m2 ssd and my laptop supports another slot for the m2 ssd so I can run both
    the m2 ssd & hdd at the same time but I will make the m2 ssd the boot drive and the hdd will be the data drive.
    MY Question is how can I migrate system drive to the new m2 ssd without the need to reinstall windows or any other installed programs and there is another thing, when I checked the disk management I found 3 recovery partitions will I have to
    migrate them too or I have to migrate the system drive only
