Windows 10: Win10

I have bought an HP pavilion laptop 3 days ago and have been trying to install windows 10 ever since.


Whenever I try to launch the wi dows installer in the UEFI mode, the i stallation freezes. I tried multiple ISO files. I tried using the media tool, I tried using the ISO you can download directly from Microsoft's website, etc.


When launching the installer in legacy mode, the installation progresses normally. However, it freezes as soon as the "getting ready screen appears".

Through trial and error, I managed to install windows by switching back to uefi the secont the first reboot occurs after installation from the usb has completed, but the set-up has not yet initiated the part where the user is asked to select the time zones, etc..


However, the version that launches with this procedure fails to load half of the time, whenever the computer goes into sleep mode, it is unable to recover from it and needs a hard reset to try and launch.


Could you please suggest what else can be done?

I have ruled out the faulty usb drive, as I tried this on multiple units. I tried various ISOs, in different languages. The computer is brand new and seemed to operate normally once I managed to install the unstable win10 mentioned above.


I have already put 16+ hours into this issue. I feel pretty frustrated.

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.

 

Issues with Win10 Media Creation Tool

Got it working in the end, not sure what happened but now have bootable usb with Win10 on it.

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
