Windows 10: Win 10 Installer will not boot

Hello All,


So im attempting to replace an M.2 SSD card where the OS is currently housed and do a complete clean install of the OS onto the new M.2 card. I have followed the instructions to the T on creating the boot media of the Media Creation Tool for both a USB drive and cd/dvd. I have an old laptop that i have used to verify that both the USB drive and the DVD are in fact bootable, which they are.


When attempting to use the usb drive to boot the OS for the install onto the new M.2 SSD, it fails to boot. All that happens is the windows logo briefly appears then cuts out. I have tried using all of the usb porta on the PC, Ive tried changing the boot order, tried uefa and legacy options, made aure the cms was disabled and no such luck. I have even tried all of the exact same options using the dvd to boot, and it wont even boot from the dvd.


Any help would be appreciated as i am out of ideas/options having scoured blogs and community posts on this exact same issue and every idea so far that people have suggested doesnt seem to work.


Further info for consideration:


Custom PC build with an MSI B350 Tomahawk Mobo w/ Arsensal Gaming BIOS.

Win 10 boots...

I can't answer to the speed of Win-8 booting. I tried the Win-8 preview and went back to Win-7 after a month. They say that Win-8.1 is a lot better than Win-8 was.
My Win-10 TP is working well ATM.

 

Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

Hi,

So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens

 

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
