Windows 10: Windows 10 New System Install - USB to New SSD - Select a Driver - Stuck

New PC Build.

MSI Z390 ACE Motherboard.

Western Digital 2.5" SSD 500GB


Downloaded Windows 10x64 iso / media creation onto a USB (32GB)

System Boots, Configured Bios to AHCI for SATA/SSD which the bios recognizes by name, and is 2nd in boot order and is in SATA Slot 1 (Nothing in M2). SATA Slot 3 is Empty (will be 4GB WD HD Later) SATA Slot 5 is CD Driver which Bios Recognizes and I can browse to during install.


Install Starts, select 64 bit, English, next....

Comes up with Select a Driver.....(Browse/Rescan) so I inserted the MSI Motherboard CD that came with the system, it reads the CD and lets me browse. Under Storage there was a SATA driver so I tried to install that, takes 15 secs or so and goes back to 'Select a Driver'.... Browsed into the Chipset ….x64Win10 Production Folder....roughly 13 drivers come up most of which are recognizable (and I have only show compatible drivers checked) so I tried the MB and PCI installs....same thing comes back to 'Select a Driver'.....(Will not let me hit next or do anything else except browse for whatever driver it is looking for)…...Tried installing all the drivers, minute or two later comes back to 'Select a Driver'.....


Literally no idea what driver it could be looking for, I checked WD Site and there are no WD Blue 500GB Windows 10 specific Drivers. I know it see's the Drive and recognizes it by name in bios. WD Also has no utility I could find that I could download to the USB (I thought maybe I needed a WD Utility / Driver to Format it or something but you would think that would come in the package and there was no CD or download instructions).


So …. what driver is it looking for and where do I find it....any clues? (Also searched the MSI Site to no avail, lots of info on upgrading to Win 10 but no driver information for SSD)….


Help....Please this is driving me crazy.....


Thanks in advance!

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?

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
