I'm having a few issues with my Windows 10 install.
I'm using a generic 8gb USB stick to try and install Windows 10 on a new PC. The first run, the PC froze directly after clicking "Next" on the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen.
The second run, I got past that, but froze at 3% on "Copying Files Over" (Something along those lines, step 2 if that helps)
The third run, I saw 3 different partitions of my SSD. Two were 500MB, and the third was the remainder of my SSD. I would have just pressed forward and tried to deal with those partitions later, but under the bulk of the remaining SSD storage, it gave me an error saying "Windows can't be installed on this drive." telling me i needed to enable the drive in bios. Did some tinkering back in bios but don't think I actually changed anything meaningful.. just checked to see if the SSD was showing up there (it was).
Now on this fourth run, I'm back to "Where do you want to install windows?" and the only thing I see is "Drive 0 Unallocated Space" with 0.00MB of total space.
I've decided to turn to the hive mind here, as I feel like each time I tinker, I get a step further back.
Note I have NOT updated my MoBo (or any other) drivers, as I don't have an optical drive, and from googling it seems like I need to be in the windows environment to update the drivers.
CPU: Intel 6600k
