Unable to install windows 10 student edition onto new build via USB

[Penajoe]

Well, let me first be one to voice how much theeadsnhave helped me in building this comp. I have no past experience just a desire to learn. Now im stuck, I am Unable to install windows 10 student edition via USB.

The USB has been formatted to FAt32 and copied the content from the ISO onto the USB... i only am able to use a mac air to do this.

Upon selectinf the USB in BIOS, I came across the error PXE M0F media test failure.

After reading several threads it seems that i had enabled the LAN option in my BIOS.

But when i disable it, my USB no longer becomes recognizable.

The motherboard im using is a Gigabyte G1.sniper B7

Im not sure if im copying the ISO incorrectly. Iv tried boot camp, Unetboot, and just copying the content onto a FAt32 formatted USB. None have worked.


Any help would be appreciated.

You cant just copy the ISO or the contents of the iso to a usb drive you need to use a program like rufus or the Microsoft media creation tool(win 7 usb/dvd tool will work aswell) to create the bootable install media.

this was the final option that i had followed, which i found on this forum in a reply to a similar question : http://superuser.com/questions/1042211/installing-os-via-usb-reboot-and-select-proper-boot-device?rq=1 .

I also used the program UneBoot, which apparantly is similar to rufus. I only have a Mac book Air, no available Windows PC

Do you mean Windows 10 Education Edition? I have Googled and searched and can not find anything called Student Edition. The reason that this thread caught my attention is that I am a Microsoft Insider and have never heard of a Student Edition.

Yes, this was the original step i took. It didnt work, an update though. I was plugging the USB into the 3.0 usb drive, but after reading a few more articles it seems my motherboard didnt have the software for usb 3.0 ready, plugged it into usb 2.0 and it recognized it!

but not it saying that the necceary drivers needed to install are not there. Im downloading ISO again from windows website, as the article i read said its most likely because my download was corrupt. If you have any other idea s to why the install said this would be helpful.

IM SO CLOSE....LOL

correction i just checked the download link and your right its education edition, is it possible that this doesnt allow me to install windows directly?

Microsoft Windows 10 Education (Multilanguage) - Download

DO NOT use that website, use a real Microsoft website. That website is not affiliated with Microsoft.

You have to download your ISO straight from Microsoft, and it was not easy for me to find this page for you.
