Windows 10: Windows 10 Installer Stuck On Windows Logo

Before we start some context, my computer was manufactured in 2008, I don't have UEFI or secure boot on my system. Also my system originally shipped with Vista, I changed the hard drive some years ago and I reinstalled Vista, then upgraded to Windows 7, then to Windows 8, then to Windows 8.1, then to Windows 10 as each operating system came out. With that said, I recently had a power outage during a Windows 10 update and my system became unbootable, I couldn't repair it or anything. I booted into my Fedora 31 drive and used the Gnome Disk utility and formated the Windows drive.


After that, I used my Surface Pro 2 to download the Media Creation Tool and make a USB drive to reinstall Windows. I plugged it in booted to the USB and it gets stuck at the Windows logo without the spinning dots. I left it like this and went to bed thinking it would just take a while when I woke up six hours later it was still in the same state, I powered off the PC, unplugged it from the wall pressed the power button and used my Surface Pro 2 again with a USB DVD burner to burn an ISO of Windows 10 to DVD. I plugged my PC back in, booted it up and while it was in post I put in the DVD and selected to boot from the DVD. Unfortunately, the DVD did the same thing as the USB, it booted to the Windows logo but didn't do anything else.


Since then I've unplugged everything, and tried to boot with different configurations of hardware leaving my Linux Hard Drive unplugged so it couldn't be overwritten or anything.


At this point, I'm at a loss for what to do.

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

 

Installation Hangs at Blue Windows Logo, Error Code C1900101-20017

The BIOS update suggestion posted above by @Jegler helped me, @guhanath. I was on version 1.10 and updated to 1.90. The steps I took after that were just doing the official Windows 10 upgrade procedure.

Then the Windows 10 installation went without a hitch, and I'm no longer on Windows 7. I'm going to consider this solved, thank you @Jelger for the suggestion to update the BIOS!
