Most underrated comment here.

Thanks !! Glad this video was helpful :):)

Does it include Windows 10 Pro ? I want PRO only. Thanks.

No it cannot install 10 PRO

Your computer turns on and works well other than not being able to create the install media USB? Have you tried to format it yet?

Did you find a fix

Do you have your school email or work email on your pc? If you do remove that account

@@kelvinshango3724how do you do that

Press Windows key+ X ,then go to local users and groups ,then Users, then double click on the Users tab then go to Member of , check if there's Users and Administrators , if there's no Administrators, go to Add at the bottom left and type Administrators in type box, then enter, go back to apply those changes then it should be done

I would try a different USB. Perhaps there is something wrong with it

Go to settings in your app store and exit out of S-mode. Then you will be able to download 3rd party apps

@hauss Oh God...THANK YOU FREN! 😄👍👊

Yes, you can downgrade to Windows 10 Home. And yes, that should not change any Dell support services you receive :)

1. What error is it giving you? 2. Have you tried reformatting the USB first? Or using a different USB?

What brand computer do you have? Are you sure the HDD is ok? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

Yes. In order to create a Windows install media USB, you need a computer that turns on and works :)

​@@PC_Monkey 😆

I havent heard any other comments like this so I dont think its a common issue. Your trying to create a Windows 10 USB? Why cant you watch the video on the computer your using to create the USB?

Thanks !! Glad this video was helpful :):)

Have you tried formatting your USB? Have you tried the USB in different ports? Some computers will only use one port for this :(

In most newer computers, the install process pulls the product id code from the motherboard. As seen here, there isnt a need to manually enter it. Are you being prompted to enter that code?

Yes if it's up to 8gb....

If your update will not process, can you run the Update Troubleshooter as seen here? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob5olaVol5uwmqs.html

@@PC_Monkey No my PC is not opening to do that let me sent you video what social media you use?

@@zemrutube For free, I communicate here on KZfaq. If you like, you can post a video to your own channel and then message me here when you do so I can view it and advise further. If you dont wish to do that, what is happening when you try to turn the computer on?

Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !! Sure, what would you like to know?

What error is it giving you? Can you try the USB in a different port or can you try a different USB?

Can you try formatting the USB first? Also, is it large enough?

Yes, unless its been used too many times, it should still work

You may need to use a different USB if the computer wont download the Install Media onto that one

same here. aparently no one knows the answer

Was your computer working well before this attempted install? If not, what was happening? / Why are you installing Windows like this?

I would try the USB in all your USB ports. Some computers will only accept one of them for this use. If its still not seeing the USB, perhaps there is an issue with the USB. I would then try another one.

@@PC_MonkeyThe USB stick is recognized by the computer, but the only option is drive c:/... Thanks a million...

I have never tried it but would assume there would be issues trying to create a Windows Install Media using non-Windows machines.

You have downloaded a file onto your working computer and cant seem to open it? The computer works well otherwise and you can do all other functions except opening that paticular file?

I think anything that would fit that m.2 slot pcie x4 80mm 42mm should work. You can check the user manual, the manufacturer website, or sites like crucial.com and they can scan your computer and offer ideas on upgrades :)

No. You can use the USB for anything as long as its still good. You may have to erase the install media on it or reformat it though in some cases

Unless your computer is very old, the install media should recovery the product key automatically during install :)

Try a different USB. It may not like that one

I have never tried to make a Windows Install USB from a Mac unfortunately :( Sorry. It may not work too well if I had to guess. Can you purchase one instead? www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey/list/2QAI8XMVWC7DK?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d

ts doesnt work from mac

This is a video showing how to install Windows. Are you trying to troubleshoot why your computer has a black screen when your turning it on or does this only happen when your trying to install Windows?

When it is saying this? During startup or while your using the computer? Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

Yes, as stated here, if you create the Install Media USB, you can then use that USB to install Windows onto another computer :)

Are you trying to create a Windows 10 install media USB and your getting this error? Or are you trying to use a Windows 10 install media USB to install Win10 to a computer and getting this error?

The same computer you created the USB with? It may be easier to just select the "Update Now" option here: www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

What do you mean, its not accepting any info? What is happening?

@@PC_Monkey, thank you for your fast response. I found the problem it was the update that Microsoft had created last Friday thank you

Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)

@@PC_Monkey thanks!

lies 1:30 min into the video before stuff happens.. :P :D

Thanks !! Glad this video was helpful :):)

@@PC_Monkey Sadly didn’t work. Couldn’t find the drive to install onto despite passing both HD checks. Tried everything so having to call a pro. Praying for your life to be blessed as you have helped many people with your selfless giving. Take care friend.

@@PWR2023AOC Perhaps the HDD is bad after all and needs to be replaced :( Also, try the other USB ports as some computers will only allow one to be used for this operation.

So just to be clear, your unable to install Windows 8 onto the new hard drive? What happens when you try?

@@PC_Monkey Thank you for responding. I could not get the Microsoft UBS Recovery Drive for 8.1 to download from the Microsoft site to download to a UBS drive. It says support for 8.1 has ended. I was able to unlock the problem with my bios only wanting to boot from an external dvd.

@@PC_Monkey What would be your advise if I have a blank hard drive and a license number for Window 8 but no recovery tools. Thanks.

@@weloveourkittens If you cant download the tool online, you would have to purchase it. You can usually get them on Ebay, Amazon, etc.

@@PC_Monkey Thank you. I did look on ebay for the software. I can get a dvd disk for about $10. I hope it will automatically recognize my license. How do I find out if my machine is running 64 or 32? Will it show in the bios? I want to make sure to purchase the correct one.

You can see how to create Windows 10 Install Media here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8hzZ82Lu921nWg.html. Is that what your looking for?

I have never tried to create Windows install media using a mac before. Sry, I dont know :(

This error happens after you download the install media to the USB?

What brand computer do you have?

@@PC_Monkey Acer Aspire X1430-ur12p

You can, but it will erase everything on the HDD/SSD. Its usually best / easier to use a USB

I dont fully understand your comment. Your installing Win11 to your computer using the install media USB. It completes the install. Then what? Do you end up at a working desktop? If not, what happens exactly after the completed 100%?

@@PC_Monkey nothing The video is perfect 👍 I'm done installing windows on my pc Thanks for the video 😊

@@mal1kgaming25 Glad your all set :) Always here if needed !!

1. Was your computer turning on and working well before this attempted install? If not, what was the issue? 2. Have you tried the different USB ports? Some computers will only accept one of them for this operation.

Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)

Is your computer turning on and working well? What operating system does it currently have?

Thanks !! Glad this video was helpful :):)

I have never tried to install that software. Many software installs require a licence. Do you have one? Did any paperwork come with it when you purchased it? It should be in there.

@@PC_Monkey thy give me licences but didn’t work .

@@foodsofpakistan4 If the licence they gave you didnt work, you should contact them.

After creating this install media USB, you would plug it into the computer when it is off, before turning it on. Then you would turn it on and try to access the startup or boot menu.

thank you for your help @@PC_Monkey

Great to hear !! Always here to help :):) And thanks for the SUPER THX :):):)

1. What brand computer do you have? And, your getting a 'No OS' error at startup? 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

After a successful install, you should be able to remove the USB and use the computer normally. You are able to do that? But after turning the computer off and then on, you see the boot error again and have to reinstall Windows new again?

No I don't have to reinstall windows all I have to do is reinsert usb and it goes back to working normally @@PC_Monkey

I usually recommend a USB. Some computers will not accept an SD card for this operation. You can try though

@@PC_Monkey ok thanks 🙏

@@sureshkumarc.k6534 Good luck !! Let me know how it goes :)

No. Most computers will only accept USB

In most newer computers, the install process will pull the Windows key automatically. You dont need to enter it as seen here. In some older computers, you may still have to enter it manually. Or you can skip that part by selecting the option that you dont have it and you wish to enter it later. Check it after the install is done and it may still have pulled it automatically

Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)

Are you trying to upgrade the computer your currently on to Win10 or are you trying to create the USB? If your trying to create the USB, did you choose the correct option (the secong option) so its creates the USB and not so it tries to install it to your computer?

@@PC_Monkey thanks for replying.I select to download ISO then when it asks if I want to let it make changes to my computer it says,unable to run this tool on your pc Error code 0x80072f8f-0x20000.

It also says my DLL is missing or corrupt 😦

You get that error when trying to create the USB or when trying to use the USB to install Windows to another computer?

@@PC_Monkey I get that too. It stops at 50% when creating the Windows 10 USB stick and then it says the same

@@kaxylolihuh3159 Perhaps it does not like your USB. Did you make sure its been formatted and meets the standards listed on that website? I would also try using another one if so.

Opening what file? Can you give more background? What are you trying to do?

Thats very common unfortunately. Can you use the keyboards tab or arrow keys to navigate? Or, you can try using an external USB mouse

@@PC_Monkey arrow keys no, but I’m charging my mouse I’ll check later.

@@ginozanga2129 Good luck !! Let me know how it goes :)

@@PC_Monkey I’m now getting boot device not found , I’ve tried every suggestion I can find and no luck. I can’t even get into my command screen

I usually dont recommend that. So I know you can do it as others do successfully. But I cant recommend that on my channel. There is a chance of loosing files.

@@PC_Monkey it actually states that the USB drive will be formatted and all data lost prior to writing to the USB drive. Notice is just before I clicked next to start writing to the USB. I just created one and noticed that. Not good for a phone ;)

Right!! lol. I def wouldnt risk a phone @@HawkinsVR

1. Does your computer start up normally without the install media? If not, what is happening when you try to start it? 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

@@PC_Monkey Thanks for responding. It will come on then go to a blue screen with a message stating the operating system did not load. There is an error code 0xc0000001. If I start with the USB, it will ho to Windows install screen but I run into the issue posted earlier. This started after an automatic Windows update. I'm currently on Windows 10

@@janiceprevost9339 Does your Lenovo have diagnostic software as seen here? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbJhhZSF3JbOg6M.html. Can you run the scan on your Hard Drive (HDD)?

@@PC_Monkey I am able to access Bios but did not locate the hardware test shown in the video. I did confirm date & time was accurate.

@@PC_Monkey boot priority also set to legacy, UEFI did not resolve issue.

1. You just did get in touch with me :) What brand and model computer do you have and whats the issue with it? 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

I have never tried that so I cant say for sure if it will work. Let me know how it goes if you try!

@@PC_Monkey it didn't work, thank you for replying

@@A_MS_23 Bummer sry :( If you need to purchase it, you can see an example of the correct item in the Repair Tools list here; www.amazon.com/shop/pcmonkey.

What options are you seeing? Can you upload a video to your own channel? If so, let me know when you do here. I can then view and advise further :)

i had the same issue. What I did was i reinserted the usb flash drive on the back of my desktop and when i went back to try to install on the usb, my flashdrive popped up.

Great to hear !! Always here to help :):)

Try formatting the USB first and try again. If that fails, I would try another USB

@@PC_Monkey do you know what's wrong with my usb

@@CaitlynnVu Unfortunately no. I cant tell you what is wrong with it from here without being able to examine it :(

@@PC_Monkey I've used a different usb and this time it's not showing me the disk partition. What do I do?

@@CaitlynnVu I dont understand, 'its not showing me the disk partition.' There are no needed partitions on your USB in order to download this install media.

1. What brand computer do you have? 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

@@PC_Monkey 1. the pc i have was a hand me down from a co worker. here is the info i have found so far, ...CPU AMD PHENOM (tm) 9550 QUAD - CORE PROCESSOR, hopefully this is the correct information for question #1... 2. the only thing that has happened, i was playing MTG arena on the pc, after exiting the game the pc crashed, (blue screen that said something to the jist of your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart, we are collecting some error info and we will restart for you). after that the pc booted like normal and the desktop would load, and then the black screen issue...no overheating, liquid spill, or windows update. nothing out of the ordinary except for the crash after playing the game...

@@hauss No, thats not the brand. The brand would be something like Dell, Acer, Lenovo, etc.

@@PC_Monkey My apologies for the late reply, since out last message i have been trying to get information on this pc that would be more accurate but i can not seem to find the correct details as far as the brand goes. I believe it is some sort of HP/dell computer but that may not be accurate. it was built by a coworker who for some reason i cant get a hold of...Later i was able to get my task manager pulled up to locate the usb with windows 10 os and get it to start installing while trying to keep my files. during that time it got up to about 90% roughly then the system crashed. So i started it again and everything went smooth, after about 100% the pc went into (diagnosing pc). everything seemed fine and then i got an error saying that the pc cannot locate the driver. please install the driver. Now im really lost. The pc reboots every 10-15 seconds and now the window logo does not even appear. Im to the point now to where if i lose all my files thats fine, but i cant even get to a windows logo, nor do i know what driver i actually need to get, to get this this sorted out. The only information on the actual case of the pc says LEPA, but im sure thats not the actual brand. Has this issue ever happened in the past where the system just starts rebooting every 10- 15 seconds?

@@hauss Sounds like at least one issue we can identify. If the OS was installing or resetting and crashed, the OS may now be no good and may need to be reinstalled. But for that, we need to get the computer on. For a computer that does not turn on, try this video first; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obVyjJecl7PSj58.html. Let me know how that goes :)
