    Trying to do a clean install


    After a restart the USB worked, and surprisingly after the download I was able to install 10 on my new drive. This shouldn't be so damn difficult but that's Microsoft. I have some things to turn off like ads and such, and we'll see if updates work. I'm on a PC so I can't stand all the garbage that's in 10. Thanks to all for the help!
