Unable to install Windows 10 from a USB drive.
Unable to install Windows 10 from a USB drive.
I'm setting up Windows 10 on an SSD. I already have it installed but the installation tool keeps showing the error 0x80080005 ~ 0x90018. I downloaded a 5.7 GB Windows 10 installer from a rar file, but I'm unsure if extracting that to a USB and installing directly works. Updated July 18, 2023 by ExtremelyPoorGamer
It's better to create a bootable USB drive. Would you like me to recommend Rufus for this purpose? You can also download and burn it yourself afterward.
Create and launch from a Windows installer rather than running it inside Windows. Ensure you're installing Windows from scratch onto an SSD using a bootable installer. Power on the computer and select the installer during startup. Tools like Windows Media Creation Tool or Rufus can help generate a bootable version.
You can try alternative methods to get a Windows 10 ISO without downloading it directly. Look for official sources like Microsoft support or trusted third-party providers. Ensure you use secure connections and verify the authenticity of the download to avoid risks.
