Windows 10: Windows 10 install through USB media fails

Hello,


I'm trying to install Windows 10 on an old machine, currently running on Vista.

I turned a USB key into an install media with the official media creation tool. Once I've setup the BIOS to boot on USB, the computer does boot on it: I can see a black screen with a teal Windows 10 logo, plus the loading wheel. But after around a minute has passed on this screen, the computer shuts down itself.

I retried several times, on different USB ports, and the same happened each and every time.


It could look like an overheating issue, but I don't think it is as the boot on Vista works perfectly: no shut down, and the CPU temp is acceptable (around 56°C, not what you would expect from a perfectly fine machine whilst idle, but far enough from the junction temp).


Here are the specs of the laptop:

-CPU Intel Pentium T3200 @ 2 GHz

-RAM 3,00Go DDR2 @ 333 MHz

-Motherboard ASUSTeK F5SL

-GPU ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 256MB

-HDD Hitachi 149 GB


I'm trying to install Windows 10 32 bits. While the components are old, they meet by far the minimum requirements for Windows 10 32 bits (CPU freq > 1 GHz, RAM > 1,0 Go, GPU >= Directx 9, HDD is almost empty).


Have you got any idea what could cause the install to fail?


Thank you very much for your help

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.
