Unable to install
Hey, first at all, sorry for my bad English. I recently got a free copy of Windows 10 Pro 64 bits from my school. I decided to give it a try as I was using Ubuntu 18.04 and it was time to change to another OS. However, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install it.
The following are my specs:
i5 3690 3.5ghz
gygabyte z97m-d3h
Kingston 120gb SSD
GeForce GTX750ti
8gb DDR5 HyperX ram
Wireless keyboard/mouse
I've created a bootable USB from the Windows tool I got on another PC. I follow the steps for installation that are on this forum and many others, but the installation stucks at different times (I say different times because I tried to install Windows at least 10 times since yesterday). Sometimes it justs get stuck and the black screen with those little white dots forming a circle. After a couple of hours of being stuck, I just hard-reset my computer from its button and try again. Other times it gets through that black screen but it gets stuck at the light blue screen that says "wait a moment". Again, I've waited a couple of hours but it justs get stuck, the little white dots don't even move. Only two times I could go through this and install it, I could open my desktop ame some folders but when I tried to connect to the internet (I got a wireless connection) it frozed my pc when typing the wifi password. I decided to restart my computer but it frozed again when typing my wifi password. If I restart it and I don't try to turn my wifi on, it still get stuck when I am browsing folders after a couple of minutes.
I decided to install Windows 7 because of this and update to Windows 10 from Windows Update (I have read that there is an option for this) but I can't install it because I get the exact same problem, the installation just get stuck at different times.
I've tried to install Windows from different USB devices (I've always used UEFI settings) but I don't know what else to do. I don't think it is virus related because I formatted my SSD before installing Windows 10. Installing on another HDD doesn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
