Dude, go to Newegg right now and read the questions and answers tab on Windows 10 OEM. The OEM copies that are listed there DO in fact, come on an optical disc. The flash drive ONLY comes on Retail copies.

"Can't read from the source file or disk" while copying on Windows 10

Hey CP. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 9 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

Have you played enough of the erroring files that you know they are solidly intact without glitches and therefore this apprently is not a data loss issue?

If so the best fixes I find for this are here:

In addition to testing the external and hard drive with Disk check, I would also test the hard drives surface with diagnostics to know for certain their condition:

Then I would go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done:

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most
thoroughly.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
