    Problem installing windows 10 from usb onto new ssd


    Recently my Hard Drive on my HP laptop died on me so I decided to buy a working 120 gb Kingston SSD. The problem was I had no other windows device to get a copy of Windows 10 onto my USB so I just downloaded the latest windows 10 ISO from the official Microsoft website. So when I go to install windows 10 from the usb onto the new ssd I press F9 to boot from usb but it doesn't appear, so I go into the bios and enable legacy support and try again. This time the usb is recognized as USB Hard Disk Innostar Innostar and I go and press it. It prompts something along the lines of "This is not a valid boot disk or something, please insert a floppy disk" and sometimes it just goes to a black screen with a blinking " - " in the upper left corner. I have tried many times redownloading the ISO and reformatting the usb stick but to no avail. Another detail is that when legacy support is enabled it can see the Kingston Hard Disk SSD, I also tried disabling secure boot and did disable it but no results. I am honestly stumped and just want to install windows 10 on this laptop but I am unable to, if it might help this laptop was purchased around 2016 and I am using a USB stick with USB 3.1, if there is any solutions avaliable I am all ears.


    Thank you

    :)

    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?

    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
