    Hi Guru, thanks. It's not 100% clear
    Step 2 - I get error - "BFSVC error - could not open the BCD template store. Status = [c000000f]
    Step 3 - do I create the image file from an existing working Windows installation?

    No from an installation ISO you download from Microsoft.

    I got the steps 2 and 3 backwards but they were correct in the link Capture and Apply Windows, System, and Recovery Partitions | Microsoft Docs

    1. Partition drive with previously mentioned script - this assigns letter W to new Windows, S to System and R to recovery.
    2. Apply (using DSIM) windows image (install.wim) from ISO to W volume.
    3. Then use bcdoot.exe (from W volume) to apply system files to S volume (defined in step 1).
    Code:
    W:\Windows\System32\bcdboot W:\Windows /s S:
    It is explained in more detail in link above. Sorry for the confusion.

    thanks. I believe the latest Win 10 ISO uses a "install.esd" not a *.WIM file? I came accross this earlier in my endeavours

    Depends where you get it I think. In any case if you have esd use that. Something like this if your installer USB has been assigned the letter D
    Code:
    dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:D:\Sources\install.esd /Index:1 /ApplyDir:W:\
    One other thing, the /Index:n specifies what edition of Windows to install. You can check which index is which edition like this - make sure you apply Home or Pro correctly.
    Code:
    PS C:\Temp> dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:e:\sources\install.wim
    
    Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
    Version: 10.0.16299.15
    
    Details for image : e:\sources\install.wim
    
    Index : 1

    The operation completed successfully.
    PS C:\Temp>
    I'm pretty sure this works the same for install.esd but I only have .wim

    have you also installed/updated the BIOS before clean installing Win10 in UEFI mode for the Toshiba C75a laptop, charles? latest BIOS version for C75A seems to be 1.60.

    on the North American Toshiba support site, there are two specific models for C75A, which are C75-A7120 and C75-A7390.

    I haven't done a clean install of Win10 on my dad's Toshiba Satellite C55Dt-A5306 laptop (mid-2013 model), which originally came with Win8.1 Core/Home edition and upgraded it to Win10 Home a few years ago; the BIOS was upgraded (to v1.80 for the Toshiba C55Dt-A laptop model only) long before I upgraded from Win8.1 to Win10. If I wanted to upgrade to the Pro edition of Win10, I'd pay extra for that license.

    Thanks the latest applicable BIOS for my Tosh Sat C75 version is 1.3 tried 1.6 but it wouldn't load, just got message that it was not for my machine.
    I'll stick with CSM/legacy mode now. I'm pretty sure it's all down to the age of the laptop and maybe a not too great BIOS

    Hi I am having a similar issue with a Toshiba Portege Z30 latest BIOS VER. 6.5 03/06/2018 (latest) Have Windows 10 Pro installed
    On a 128 GB mSATA SSD in UEFI mode and that runs fine. TPM and Secure boot off. No fast boot option in this BIOS.

    Got a new Kingston 512 GB mSATA SSD to transfer my system to.

    Have tried the following:

    Migrating my system with DiskGenius, Clonzilla Live, Acronis, etc. the clone/migration goes through with no errors but the new SSD will not boot. I get the

    “Insert System disk in drive message”

    Tried rebuilding, removing and rebuilding the EFI partition.

    Tried with another 512 GB SSD , same issue.

    Tried a clean windows install with GPT USB install media. Install goes through with no errors, and same message when booting up the laptop:

    Insert System disk in drive message”

    Tried installing in CSM mode and the system does boot with no issues.

    So yes I do think it’s a Toshiba (now Dynabook) BIOS issue.

    Either with larger drive sizes (larger than 128 GB). Or perhaps with the newest Windows 10??

    So strange that it is currently running WIN 10 PRO in UEFI mode.

    Will see if I can install Linux in UEFI mode next to see if it’s a windows issue. Methinks it’s the Toshiba/ Dynabook BIOS though.

    Some mSata disks do not have a compatible UEFI Controller.

    Acc. Toshiba Spec: 128GB SSD; mSATA hard disk drive
    If it has a mSata-Port and a 2,5“ Sata port run the 2nd SATA as GPT storage device

    Is your 512 GB disk a NVME (1 slot) or a M.2 SATA with 2 Slots?

    There is only one mSATA slot in the laptop, here is an image of the new drive: Cannot clean install Win 10 UEFI mode (Toshiba Satellite C75A)-img_1243.jpg

    And here is an image of the old 128 GB drive: Cannot clean install Win 10 UEFI mode (Toshiba Satellite C75A)-img_1241-1-.jpg

    I think it's an UEFI compatibility problem with the Controller when it works in CSM-Mode. You can check the BIOS and try to find the "Boot from File" option.
