    WIN 10 INSTALL STALLS DURING "GETTING DEVICES READY" ON DUAL BOOT WITH WIN 7.

    I AM TRYING TO DUE A CUSTOM INSTALL OF WIN 10 ALONGSIDE WIN 7 ON A DELL LAPTOP. THE INSTALL STALLS AT THE GETTING DEVICES READY" PART OF THE INSTALL. I HAVE LOADED THIS COPY OF WIN 10 ON SEVERAL OTHER DEVICES, SO I ASSUME THE COPY IS GOOD. RESEARCHING THIS
    HAS RESULTED IN A SUGGESTION TO DISABLE CERTAIN BIOS SETTINGS. HOWEVER, MY BIOS IS LACKING THESE SETTINGS.

    ANY HELP/SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    THANKS, DAVE O.

    Installing Win 10 x64 using a flash memory

    As long as the flash drive is MBR, with a FAT32 partition marked as active. Then you can copy and paste all the files and folders from a mounted Windows 10 installation ISO file to it and it will be universally bootable.

    Fresh USB Windows 10 Install - Failing

    I am trying to install a fresh copy (reformatted the hard disk) of windows 10 using a USB

    • Created an installation media on a USB flash drive (Win 10 pro) from this page Download Windows 10
    • Changed the boot order on the other PC so that it boots using USB
    • Selected custom install
    • Installing Windows goes through the following steps successfully: Copying Windows Files, Getting Files ready for installation, Installing features, Installing updates and before the last step (Finishing up), it restarts
    • Then it goes back to the start of the installation steps

    I am stuck and have read numerous posts but don't know what to do to install a fresh copy of Win 10.
