    New Windows 10 installation to SSD drive


    Hello



    My laptop hard drive failed and as I had to change the hard drive anyway I decided to upgrade to a SSD drive. I also purchased a new Window 10 Pro installation disk. I have been trying to install the disk drive and widows on my laptop and I am getting the well known error message the windows can not be installed because “A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD or USB with the driver on it, please insert it now." I thick I have tried all of the suggestions I could find and have reformatted the drive on to different formats but nothing seems to work. My laptop is a Sony Vaio i7 processor with 8gb ram and it was running Windows 10 Pro until the drive died. The only difference is the SSD which I have tried in an external drive enclosure on a USB 3 socket on another laptop and the drive seems to be OK. I must admit that I am lost any help would be appreciated


    Thanks

    :)

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
