Windows 10: Windows installation...I'm Convinced of windows 10 installation error being the issue...

Though I don't have much evidence; I believe windows 10 setting in GPT or error from installation is the culprit. I am trying to download some large files and each time I extract them I get an error saying corrupted. I have bypassed and confirmed the file is somewhat corrupted but not fully or works perfectly fine and isnt corrupted. My main issue is Windows 10 trying to get Windows 7 Dual-Boot. I want to be able to game and windows 10 isn't doing so well but I know windows 7 works like a charm. However I get to errors... The first I get is "Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x8007025D"


If I can bypass that and sometimes get it to work every know and again from downloading and trying again I can sometimes succeed but then I run into another error "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070241" and if I can bypass that well I can't cause then it says I dont have any devices to be installed on... I've even tried Windows 10 image to see but won't even let me do that... I've switched out Hard-Drives and still same issue... I've tried changing the BIOS setting from Legacy, UEFI... From RAID, to AHCI... There wasn't a option for ATA... Ever Since I've upgraded to windows 10 nothing has been right.... I think and imnot sure but I don't think when I extract the iso that all files are being inserted as if it getting blocked or something... like the file won't copy over. I dont know if that is the case but here I tried to Take files from already extracted and went into iso and extracted manually the folder to override the files I noticed before it ask to replace such file that files were being added then asked to replace... It's weird But I really need windows 7... Funny how it suppose to be supported Win7/8/8.1/10 for this device... I've looked everywhere for answers but I can't find any!!! Here's my info... I

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:

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

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.
