Windows 10: Windows 10 USB Install on new PC Error

So i just bought and assembled a new PC today. I got the Windows 10 installer on a USB and went to launch the installer, but I always end up getting an error that stops me dead in my tracks.

For clarity, I have done the following:

- Set the boot priority for the Windows 10 USB to #1

- disabled Fast Launch


The specific error i get occurs after I boot off the USB and select to launch the Windows 64bit option. The Loading bar appears for about 30 seconds and then i get a black screen with white text that reads:


”Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click “Next”.

3. Click “Repair your computer”.


If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

Status: 0xc0000185


Info: A required device isn’t connected or can’t be accessed.”


I’m not too certain what I can do to fix this. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’d really appreciate any help here!


Cheers,

Michael

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
