Windows 10: Error while installing Windows 10 on a new hard drive

Quite a while ago I purchased Windows 8.1 prior to Windows 10 release. So when Microsoft up graded me to 10 they made it 10 pro. I have been using that since. One day I noticed the fans in my table top A Asus gamers with an Intel core 5 -32GHZ CPU were running 100%. They were not idling when nothing was going on. I ran Task Master and found that my CPU was being used 100%. I ran the ‘scannow” command and it said there were files it could not fix. I worked very hard to find out why and finally gave up.. I purchased a stick with 10 pro and used it to fix my computer. I ran the ‘scannow’ command and everything was fine. So I ran Task Manager and it still said the CPU was running 100 percent. I tried to determine what was running. I used ‘Procmon’ and Tweaking’ and all I am able to determine is that it’s Windows that is running full steam. Although Windows is running at 100% it is still running any of my programs as if everything was ok. In other words none of my programs are running slowly. This makes no sense to me, so I purchased a new hard drive and wanted to start over. Load the 10 pro I purchased and reinstall my programs. I am thinking that will take care of the issue. But the stick I purchased won’t let me load it. It keeps saying it needs drivers? I don’t want to bring anything directly from what I have. Everything MUST be loaded anew. And I can’t seem to be able to do that. How can I load a new drive with the stick I have and not have to purchase a new stick?

Install Windows 10 on new hard drive.

Hi Arzlo,

Thank you for being a part of Windows 10.

I appreciate you for providing details about the issue and we are happy to help you.

Please be informed that you cannot install the activated Windows 10 on to the new hard disk.

If you are replacing the hard disk then you may get Windows 10 activation errors.

If you are purchasing a new hard disk then, you may have to install genuine Windows 7 (SP1)/8.1 to upgrade to Windows 10 to get Windows 10 activated.

I suggest you to run check disk on the hard drive to see if there are any corruptions.

Follow the below steps:

• Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
• Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press
  ENTER:

chkdsk /f

Disclaimer: While performing check disk on the hard drive, if any bad sectors are found then check disk will try to repair that sector. Any data available on a bad sector might be lost.

Once Check Disk completes, boot the computer and then check.

Reference: Refer to the following Microsoft article on Windows 10 Q&A.
