Windows 10: Windows 10 Install Failure

Ok so.. Been trying to get Windows 10 Installed for a long time. Found out my Windows 8 Key got banned since I bought if from a scammer or something. So I went and bought a brand new Windows 10. Its a Windows 10 Pro 64bit OEM (which i'm not exactly sure what OEM is all about). So currently my computer is just chilling with Windows 8.1 Pro but it's not activated. Just popped in the CD that came with my new Windows 10, put the files on a USB, and ran the set up. It started downloading and failed about 37% of the way through. Saying 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 Installation failed in the Safe_OS phase with error during boot. Why is that happening. I ran a clean boot, turned all my non-microsoft programs off and got the same error. Is OEM something where I have no have no operating system currently running? Should I wipe my hard drive completely and re-try? Something else?

Errors: "0x8024200d", "0xc1420127", "0x80131501" while installing Windows 10 Pro, version 1511.

Automatic update tried to update Windows 10 so many times with different error codes as below

"Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586.'

"Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0xc1420127: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

"Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

"Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

"Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200d: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

and so on and so on on on more attempts.

The latest error is

"Failure Content Install Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80131501: Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586."

I have tried researching all the internet responses to this problem but no solution works.

I am really frustrated now and would appreciate some HELP.

So where did you buy this OEM

 

Why do an upgrade when you have a Windows 10 key to enter? Boot from the Windows 10 install media, select custom install, delete all the partitions on the system disk, install on the unallocated space, enter your key when asked.

 

Newegg

 

I tried booting from my usb and it just loaded my Windows 8.

On the USB is just the files I transferred from the CD. Do I have to do anything else?

 

If your motherboard is booting in legacy mode (MBR), yes, you have to set up the USB specially to boot. Why can't you boot from the DVD from Newegg?

This would probably still work:
WinToFlash - Create Bootable USB drive - Home page

 

Its a custom PC and doesnt have a external cd drive

 

Just make a Windows 10 USB directly using the Media Creation Tool that makes a USB that is bootable with a legacy BIOS.

 

I'm confused, though. How did you just "pop in the cd" and copy the files to a USB drive? Seems like the computer would have to have a DVD/CD drive to do that. So, again, why can't you just boot from it? The drive does not have to be external to boot from it.

 

can you link me to the correct download for the windows 10 media creation tool?

 

did that on other computer

 

Windows 10

 

Yeah installed the media onto the usb and tried booting it but it didnt work. it just like tries to load it, fails, then boots up my normal windows 8.
