    Windows 8.1 to 10 Clean Install error "Windows is unable to reinitialize the deployment engine"

    I have been trying to do a clean install of Windows 10 and have been following guides closely. I get the error "Windows is unable to reinitialize the deployment engine" after selecting a place to install Windows. I believe it's an error with my partitions
    but I was unsure which ones to delete. I have only one drive and one of the partitions is my OS (main partition). Should I delete all others? Thanks for the help.

    Windows setup could not reinitialize the deployment engine. To install Windows restart the installation.

    OK I finally succumbed to the harassment of Windows 10 upgrade on my Compaq Presario CQ62 laptop. My objective was to do a clean install. I never had that choice when I first installed W10 on this machine. I thought I should get that option. But, Microsoft
    being Microsoft never makes anything easy. So, I checked the web to see what it takes to do a clean install.

    Download the media creation tool. It doesn't say whether or not there are different tools for W8.1 or W10, so I downloaded mediacreationtool.exe. I ran it, and eventually, it created an iso file. I used the DVD tool to create a bootable DVD disk and the
    machine booted up to the DVD.

    So far, so good.

    Next, it asked if I wanted to do an install. Next.

    Things start to go awry.

    Then it asked for a product key. My understanding was that if I had a legitimate copy of Windows this would not happen.

    But, I entered the key. Next.

    Do you want to do an upgrade and keep all the files you have?

    Do you want to do a clean install? I want to do a clean install. Next.

    Accept License Terms. Yes. Next.

    Where do you want to install Windows. On the OS partition. Next.

    The endless cycle begins. Stuck on a Microsoft screwup.

    I get this message: Windows setup could not reinitialize the deployment engine. To install Windows restart the installation.OK, fine. I restarted the installation several times and got here again and again.

    Now what can I do, if anything?
