Windows 10 Install Failure
Ok so.. Been trying to get Windows 10 Installed for a long time. Found out my Windows 8 Key got banned since I bought if from a scammer or something. So I went and bought a brand new Windows 10. Its a Windows 10 Pro 64bit OEM (which i'm not exactly sure what OEM is all about). So currently my computer is just chilling with Windows 8.1 Pro but it's not activated. Just popped in the CD that came with my new Windows 10, put the files on a USB, and ran the set up. It started downloading and failed about 37% of the way through. Saying 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 Installation failed in the Safe_OS phase with error during boot. Why is that happening. I ran a clean boot, turned all my non-microsoft programs off and got the same error. Is OEM something where I have no have no operating system currently running? Should I wipe my hard drive completely and re-try? Something else?
