  1. windows 10 installation problem "we can't find a drive"


    for starters i have been working on PC's for years, and in all these years this is the first time i have ever run into this issue.
    as we all know windows 7 is expiring in january, i have had a lot of people come to me to update their old systems to 10, all has been well until i got this hp dv6- 6119wm, running windows 7 home premium. it runs great, boost fast, absolutely no issues other than being windows 7, so i boot to my installation media, and.. "We can't find any drives, please install a drive to continue" now this installation media i have used to install windows 10 on 3 other machines, i have verified that the usb drive is in fact working fine, i am completely stumped and after 2 days of searching on google, i have stretched my brain to its limit. *Banghead*Banghead*Focus and have resigned to asking for help here. *tip*Info*tip PLEASE oh great people of the internet, help me solve this mystery, as to why this drive is not showing up in the installation screen but the PC runs file.
    Thank you.
    Image version Windows 10 2004 Build 19041.1

    *What*What*What*Mad P.S. while typing this i thought to try my windows 7 installer drive, the drive shows up. *Banghead*Banghead*Banghead*Banghead

    New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

    It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

    Heres a couple examples:

    Here

    It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

    I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
