    Windows 10 Install - A driver you need is missing


    Good morning,


    I need to install a Windows partition on my computer for work-related reasons.
    However, the Windows Installer (the official one, provided by Microsoft's website) displays the following error right after choosing languages:
    "A media driver your computer needs is missing".

    I tried providing said driver myself by downloading all the drivers relating to my product on your website, and using the 'browse' function of the installer to load them during the installation process, but none did the trick.

    Internet forums suggest trying installing windows from a USB 2.0 port instead of 3.0, but all the USB ports of my computer are 3.0 ports. Switching the installation usb stick to a different port, before or during the installation, produces no different result. Neither does altering the BIOS settings to allow for Legacy boot modes.


    A hardware problem seems unlikely as other operating systems boot from usb without further ado.


    Is there a workaround for this problem?


    Thank you for your time and your help.

    :)

    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
