I tried to update Windows 8 but it was stuck on Getting Ready for 1 whole day. I formatted the SSD, rewrote the GPT partition scheme, switched to UEFI mode, enabled CSM, and tried to install Windows 7. I finishes expanding the files but it says it cannot prepare the drive or something like that. I id boot into UEFI mode and I installed it on a blank SSD with the space unallocated. What could cause this? This is making me want to pull my hair out.

Were you attempting to update to Windows 8 due to having issues or just for the newer OS?
