    Windows 10 Update [March 10] Rendered PC unusable, and now I can't even do a clean install.


    The latest update failed to install and made my PC unusable. I decided to do a clean install, wiping all data from my [2] hard drives using a bootable USB flash drive with a Windows 10 Enterprise 64 Bit build from last year [I think October].


    The problem is that I can't install that, because after prepairing the installation, and copying the files from the USB stick, the computer restarts, and won't go any further. Sometimes it's a BSOD, [CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED], sometimes it's stuck in a loop saying: "Copying Files", and sometimes I get a massage saying: "The Windows Installer couldn't confrigure the Windows System to be ran on this hardware" . . . The translation may differ from the original, becuase I'm using a Hungarian version.


    I even tried to clean the componensts, disassembling and reassembling the PC, using a Windows 10 version from back in 2018, installing it on another HDD, resetting BIOS settings, even flashing the BIOS, disconnecting the graphics card. Switching RAM slots, or disconnecting one RAM stick. No luck whatsoever.


    Never had such problem with updates and this hardware setup. I also did not make any changes to my setup. I have this problem since the update which came a couple of days ago.


    My System Specs:


    i5-4440

    nVIDIA GTX-1660

    8 GBs of DDR3 1600MHz RAM

    2 HDDS - Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM7, Western Digital 500GB

    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?

    Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

    I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
