Windows 10 setup issues Troubleshooting steps and solutions for Windows 10 installation problems
Hey there, newbie here. I see you're trying to get your old PC running again. You mentioned using Windows 7 and a USB drive, but you're having trouble starting it properly. It sounds like you're stuck between the old system and another OS. Since you have a laptop with Ubuntu and Windows 8 already, maybe switching to one of those could help. Let me know if you want some tips on how to move or boot between systems safely.
Hello! It's important to install Windows on a new computer because the system needs to adjust to your hardware like the motherboard and CPU. You can't run Windows from a hard drive that already has it installed on another machine, especially if those components aren't compatible. I hope this clears things up!
You assembled a system using refurbished parts. The hard drive ran Windows 7 but wouldn’t start, so you moved to Windows 10 via USB. You might attempt a fresh installation, ensuring the drive is clean. Start by using Windows 10 setup from the USB and press Shift+F10 to launch the command prompt. Enter commands like 'diskpart list disk' to view all drives, then select the correct one (usually disk 0). Clean the list after choosing the disk, refresh it if needed, and proceed with the install. Let me know your outcome.
