Facing a repetitive issue during installation? Let me help you resolve it.
While attempting to reinstall Windows after using a Linux trial, the process proceeds through loading files, then displays the Windows logo and spinning circle before restarting. I've tried installing XP to version 10 and various intermediate editions, but progress is limited. I've previously installed XP, 7, 8, and 10 without issues. Could you explain why this is happening? This is on a Dell prebuilt machine.
Ensure secure boot is activated and all partitions are cleared.
During the setup again, a tiny icon appears in the lower right corner. You can click it to stop or restart the process. After shutting down or restarting, disconnect your USB or take out the installation disk, and then boot from the drive that now contains Windows.
as you mentioned earlier: a POST request saying "Loading files," a Windows logo with a spinning circle beneath, then it restarts. It doesn’t even reach the installation step.
You haven't set up Windows yet. All other devices, including the keyboard, mouse, and screen, should be disconnected. Only the specific drive you wish to install should remain connected.
