Windows 10: I get stuck on the windows logo when performing a first time install of Win10 from usb, but...

The laptop previously was partitioned to boot using grub into ubuntu or windows 7. However, I never managed to upgrade to windows 10, always getting stuck at the windows logo, I presumed because of the partition.

I have now replaced the hard drive with a blank ssd but still cannot boot into windows despite being able to boot ubuntu from a usb.

I've also had the same issue booting from a Win10 install cd.

I have checked the Win10 usb in another computer and was able to boot from it.

I believe the laptop is Win10 compatible; it's a Samsung RC510.


I currently have the following bios options


Boot priority: CD,USB,SSD

Touch Pad: Enabled

Internal LAN: Enabled

PXE OPROM: Disabled

Execute Disable Bit: Disabled

Legacy USB support: Enabled

UEFI Boot support: Enabled

AHCI Mode: Manually: Enabled

USB S3 Wake up: Disabled


I've also tried with different RAM configurations which seemed to make no difference.

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



If you are unable to boot to the computer and installation get stuck at blue logo box then I would suggest you to create installation media and then try to per form automatic repair and see if it helps you to fix the issue.



Step 1: Create ISO for Windows 10



You may also refer to the article mentioned below to for downloading Windows 10 on your computer.

Download Windows 10



Step 2: Perform an Automatic repair

The Automatic repair can detect and fix the issues that prevent the computer from working normally.

After you have a Windows 10 installation disc/USB, follow these steps:

• When your computer starts, wait for the manufacturer logo to check the option for boot menu, it will usually be F12.
• The boot menu key might differ with each manufacturer. If you are unable to find the boot menu key, you may refer the user manual.
• Restart the computer, when the manufacturer's logo is displayed, keep pressing the Boot menu option key to enter the boot menu and change the boot option to CD\DVD ROM
  (in case you create DVD). Select USB in case you create USB.
• After you boot your computer using Windows DVD or System Repair Disc, a black screen appears with gray text "Press
  any key to boot from CD or DVD". Press any key.
• Select the correct time and Keyboard type.
• Click Repair your computer in the lower left corner.
• Click on Troubleshooting, advanced option and
  then click Startup Repair.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.
