Hey, was wondering when choosing which type of installation. What would the process look like for upgrade instead of custom and if there is already a video showing this process?

[Hard__Iron]

Hi HC, I recently tried to install Win 10 on my Asus T100 TAF. Ended freeing up disk space so I have 8gb for the install. After 4 hours of trying, Win 10 went through the final step and a pop up said the installation failed.
Not sure what happened.
Can Windows 10 be installed on this little laptop?

If I didn't click finish after it says that it was installed, is my installation chalked? I don't want to go through the trouble of changing my SSD only to find out my install wasn't done correctly.

Hi, and thanks for the video. I have created a USB drive install, because using the media creation tool directly keeps failing. My Lenovo ThinkPad Y50 says "no boot from USB option" in the bios settings. I've tried sooo many things to upgrade to W10. How hard can it be? Does Lenovo really build in redundancy? TIA

This a long shot but im having a major problem and non of the companies I've talked to are helping.
My problem is my brand new PC is not allowing me to setup my pc properly. What it does is when I start to fill out my Microsoft info to port my account it crashes and either resets me to the region selection or freezes on the windows logo. But my question is could me doing this solve my headache of problems?
And I should add that it's a lenovo desktop and will I have to re-download the software or will it load it the new installation?

What could happen if you just deleted all the partitions without checking which one is which even if you didn’t have any data that you needed would that effect the computer in any way?

If I bought the pc with windows 11 and wipe it, would it be okay getting windows 10?

[TheRemikarlos]

Thanks for this great video! I followed your step by step tutorial and I am stuck at the choosing hard disk stage. I have 19 drive 0 partitions, and I cannot install windows on any of them. WHen I click on 'show details', the message is the following: 'Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS. Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The partition is of an unrecognised type.'
Any help on this please? Thanks

If I am creating the intallation on the USB drive for a brand new build, not an upgrade, do I still check the box "Use the recommended options for this PC" or not? Thanks.

will most newer motherboards boot from the usb automatically if the old boot drive with the old windows install is removed without having to go into the bios and manually changing it over to the usb? what I'm trying to say is will the bios automatically look for a boot drive?

[iceesar]

hi so I've done everything just like in this video, i use my pendrive 16gb to boot for my PC but all it does is just stuck loading for like hours now i can't see the windows 10 setup so like what should I do? should i try to reinstall windows 10 files again?

edit: my pc is broken like i think the windows 10 pro 64 bit in my pc is gone because when i boot up its just stuck black screen or something like that so i want to reinstall windows 10 again i still can access to my bios and stuff so i dont think my pc is broken maybe its just the windows is gone? pls help me also i installed the windows 10 files for my pen drive on another laptop that would work too right?

[kingwood]

what do you mean cant use a mac? It could be the reason why i cant upload window 10 bios in the usb to the motherboard? Im using a mac to download the windows 10 bios on to a usb. are you saying it wont load up?

Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed on GPT disks.What do we do with it ??
