Windows 10: Windows 10 clean install help requested.

Hey everybody,

Sorry for the text wall but I've gotten myself into a bit of a situation

I'm trying to install Windows 10 on a custom built PC from a USB Boot device.

Each time I try to install in runs for about 4-5hours getting through the initial setup, product code entry, device installation up to the blue screen with a pinwheel and "Wait a moment". It stays on this for a couple hours until eventually I get an error message saying "Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation".

I've tried multiple times, using three different USB's to create three different boot devices. I've even created the devices using multiple computers in case the issue was with the program writing the boot device.

After a couple of tries I attempted to install Ubuntu to make sure the hardware was all ok. Ubuntu installed in 10min and had no issues, though I need Windows to run a program for work so I can't just use linux.

Each time I try to install I'm sure to delete all partitions on the hard drive so it's blank.

If anyone could help me with this I would appreciate it. I'm trying to get my work from home setup and at this point I've been trying to solve this for a week.



Thanks in advance.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
