I REALLY need your help, please. // Windows 10 installation

[02kpalex]

I was trying to install Windows 10 in my friend's new 999$ laptop, but when it's time to choose a disk to install windows I can't choose any disk (1GB HDD and 120GB SSD) The error displaying is "Windows is unable to install to the selected location. Error: 0x80300001." The laptop now is empty, with only the BIOS and the USB I used to install doesn't work anymore. Later I will go try it with other usb. Gish me luck and I BEG FOR YOUR HELP, it's a thousand dollar laptop of my friend. THANK YOU and sorry for bad english.

1. The laptop did not come with an OS already installed?

2. Disconnect the HDD. Have only the SSD connected while you install.

3. How to do a CLEAN installation of Windows 10

Yes, It came with an OS but I formated the disks trying to solve this problem, how do I disconnect the HDD in a laptop? Thank you.

1. What OS did it come with?

2. Open the bottom, and physically take the HDD out.

3. What is the make/model of this laptop?

4. What "problem" were you trying to solve?

My 2 cents, anything new that needs "fixing" goes right back to the store.

1. FreeDOS (actually I dont even know if thats a SO)

2.I think manipulating this will be my last option, I prefer taking it to a store and pay

3. HP OMEN 15-ce083ns

4. The same problem I have now, I couldn't install windows on neither disks.

Really, really, thank you.

OK, FreeDOS.
That's how you buy a laptop slightly cheaper, and then go through the pain you're seeing of installing your own OS.

Anyway...when you boot from your WIndows USB, what happens exactly?
When you get to the part of 'where', select the 120GB drive.
Select Custom.
You'll be presented with a list of ALL existing partitions on that drive.
DELETE ALL of them. Resulting in one blank space.
Tell the OS to use that, and it will create what it needs.

Okay thank you, I will try that later when I can go to my friends home, but the last thing I did was to clear the disks, and there weren't any partitions (I did commands list disk and clear both SSD and HDD so they were the only 2 options when choosing a place to install windows)

Many thanks.
