Windows 10: Windows Installer USB Stuck on “getting ready” for hours.

Just built a new pc partlist: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Deathhawkdown/saved/ since it does not have a disc dive I created a windows install USB following this tutorial I found on YT https://youtu.be/1HuqWGUp0ME followed it to the letter and after twelve hours of installing I then attempted to boot from the usb, for a whole day, got fed up, baught a new usb, repeated the proscess it only took one hour this time selected “UEFI: PNY USB 3.0 : Partition 2” and finaly got results instead of a blank screen saying “nothing found pug in the correct thing and press any button.” Now it had the motherboard logo and a spinning circle, then two hours later it said preparing devices or something like that for another hour or so with a progress percent. And finally it completed and says “Getting ready” for twelve hours or so now, the loading circle freezing every so often with false hope that its about to do something different.

Computer stuck at getting windows ready

Hi,

For us to effectively assist you, may we ask if you made any recent changes on your computer prior to the issue?

Have you tried any possible troubleshooting steps? If yes, what are those steps? This is to avoid repeating of the possible steps done.

If Windows 10 install gets stuck on the message "Getting Windows ready", it is possible that the internet connection might be running slow. Kindly ensure that your internet connection can suffice the download during the update. The other thing would be a conflict
from external devices. We suggest temporarily disconnect all peripherals aside from mouse and keyboard.

If you require any further information, let us know.

Regards.

 

Windows 10 custom installation from USB stuck at "getting ready"

Hello,

My Lenovo Ideapad Y510P laptop is failing to boot and encountering BSOD shortly after starting laptop (bad_system_config error), so I downloaded the Windows 10 installation media directly from Microsoft onto a USB, then entered boot options and chose to boot from USB to go into Windows 10 setup. I chose custom setup because:

• My laptop already had Windows 10 Home installed before getting the BSOD's
• I'd like to keep my personal files on the non-system drives

Everything went fine until the compute restarted, now it's stuck with the Lenovo logo and "getting ready" for the last hour which I doubt is normal.

Does anyone know what's causing this and what's the proper way of custom installation via USB? I google'd extensively but can only find info on clean installations where you wipe your entire HD, which is NOT what I want as I need to preserve my personal files, but I don't mind wiping C: drive. Also there was some info about "legacy BIOS" and "UEFI" but I have no idea what those are or which one my computer has.
