I'm here to help. You're really struggling, aren't you?
Hello, I recently built a custom PC and have been attempting the installation since yesterday. I've spent around 10 hours trying to get it working. Honestly, I suspect there might be an issue with my CD or USB drive. After copying everything to the USB, I selected the drive, chose the language, and picked where to install Windows. However, my computer refuses to accept the USB because it doesn't have the necessary files to start the download.
You should consider using a tool such as 'Wintoflash' to transfer the files onto your USB drive, ensuring your new PC recognizes them.
I don’t have a dedicated optical drive friend; I just have an old laptop and my PC.
I retrieve the files from a disk by following specific steps. When the optical drive is inside a laptop, disconnecting it becomes more challenging, though still possible. If you suspect the Windows DVD caused the issue, you can download the .ISO file from Microsoft’s official site at the provided link. Be sure to match the version with your licensing key.
Don’t worry, everything should be fine now. It might help to get an .ISO file, which removes the disk issue. You can then use tools like Rufus or WinToFlash to make a bootable USB drive. Also, check your new computer’s BIOS and set the USB mode to ‘Legacy’ occasionally—it could fix problems with non-bootable disks.
