Windows 10: Getting bluescreens during attempted Clean Install

Hello,My whole problem started around 2 days ago when attempting to install a windows update and my PC crashed. This ended up changing core kernel folders to be unusable, and leading booting anywhere near windows completely useless.I accepted I pretty much needed to make sure there were no hardware related issues, so I used Dell's support software and it turned out everything was fine on that end.When attempting to boot to USB with Creation Media it would give me many BSOD's with different codes, all of which relating to the kernel and whatnot.The farthest I've gotten is getting to the part w

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

I'm going to attempt to have a step by step guide on how to use these programs efficiently.

 

Insurgency wont install and run for me....

I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

Any ideas?
