    Windows 10 Fresh Install - Driver Missing Coming from Mac


    Coming from using a Mac and I'm trying to install Windows 10 64 bit on my new build but getting error:

    "A media driver your computer needs is missing" or "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing"

    I'm expecting to see a product activation screen here.

    Here is my build:

    MOBO: GIGABYTE B550 VISION D AM4 ATXCPU: AMD AMD RYZEN 9 3900X WRAITHPGPU: EVGA GT710 2GB HSF LP DVH PC Only GPU leftMEM: G.SKILL 32GB 2X16 D4 3600 TRZ RGBHD1: SAMSUNG E 500GB 970EVO+NVME M.2 SSDHD2: SEAGATE 2TB BARRACUDA 3.5" HD

    1. I download the Windows ISO file on my Mac from - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO


    2. Transferred the ISO file to various USBs using this method - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhgjqbq_zYA&feature=youtu.be


    3. Booted my PC with USB and going through Windows 10 load screen and getting error at this point.


    4. Have tried switching to various USB ports. Tried on 2.0, 3.0, 3.2 ports and rebooting with no luck.


    5. Updated my MOBO through BIOS and no luck here as well.

    I formatted my USB using Disk Utility on my Mac to ExFat and after taking steps from step #2 above, it is now:

    Universal Disk Format UDF



    Would it be better for me to try to download Windows 10 on a PC and transfer to USB? Is downloading Windows 10 from a Mac causing this issue?

    I feel like I'm running out of options or have missed some important step.

    Currently transferring to what I think is a USB 2.0 as this was one solution I came across.

    Looking for any kind of help, thanks in advance!

    :)
