    hi everybody
    As in the thread topic, i have exactly this problem.
    I’ve been trying to install a fresh windows 10 from usb created by windows media creation but it just gets stuck there. The usb pen i’m using is brand new and i have nothing plugged in my notebook while i’m trying the process.
    Now all my c drive is erased anyway so i can’t even access to my system anymore.. i just have to find a way to install windows.
    I have to also add that it’s the first time that i try to do this by myself but hey i’ve been asking friends, gathering informations. It’s not that hard in theory .
    Sighs.
    Anyone has any idea about how i can overcome this issue?
    Thanks in advance

    good job, this has been happening to me a lot lately, I need to try different USB ports and eventually one would work. I also need to load the IRST Driver (an updated one) as opposed to using the Built in one in the Windows installation since I am on RAID. If I use the Microsoft built in driver, the chances of the installation to actually finish are very rare although they do work like 10% of the time. This latest build of Windows is the buggiest crap I've ever seen. It has a mind of its own.
