    Error installing windows: "a media driver your computer needs is missing..."


    I tried installing windows 10 on my brand new PC, but it seems that i cant install windows. i get an error stating: "A media driver your computer needs is missing. this could be a DVD, USB, or Hard Disk driver..." i downloaded the windows installer from the microsoft website on a USB stick. i think windows doesn't recognize the SSD that im using.

    Error when installing Win7

    when Installing Windows 7 I get an error saying ""A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now. Note: If the windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step." What should I do to get Windows to install?
