Cannot Install Windows 10 to Second Partition on Samsung 860 EVO SSD

Megahertz said:

I never seen this before. There are four EFI partitions (3 on disk 0 and one in disk 1)

Wynona, tell us what you did
- Did you do a clean install on the SSD or did you cloned from the HDD.

Clean Install.

- If it was a clean install, did you detached the HDD before installation?

Yes, I did.

-Why is disk 1 formated as exFat?

Because that's a Seagate Backup External Drive. It's plugged into the back of the computer cubby underneath my desk. Kinda hard to get to, but I'll unplug it when I start working with all the good information given. BTW, I didn't change the formatting; that's the way it came.

When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

Ummm, what's this supposed to accomplish, Zbook? I'm guessing it's going to change my boot system?

And should I follow Top Gun's instructions to delete the extra EFI partitions first?

Oh! I get it! I'm giving you information!

Is this what you wanted, Zbook?

Please delete the extra partitions as per topgundcp in post #5.

Thank you. I already have it printed so I can look at it on my typing stand.

I think I may have found one of my problems? Seems as how, although I disconnected the spinner, the Samsung is marked as Disk 1.



Also, I can't tell what the numbers are for the extra EFIs. Going back in to look again. Sometimes (lots of times) I miss something in the instructions until I read them several times.

I think I've done things right so far, but I need a little more advice, please. Here are the three screen shots; maybe one of y'all can tell me which two I should get rid of.

At this point, I'm sure that my C:\ drive is on Partition 5 and I was attempting to install the second OS (Build 19002) to Partition 6, so I'm guessing I should remove Partitions 2 & 6.







Thanks for all the help!

as seen by your command window pic > remove partition 5 & 6

thus the two Fat32 EFI partitions between > C=partition 4 and D=partition 7

then mount the 19002 ISO and use dism to apply the image to D:
it is assumed the Mounted ISO will be driveletter F and the UPP Dump Pro index of 2

Code:

Dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:"F:\Sources\Install.wim" /Index:2 /ApplyDir:D:\

then

Code:

bcdboot D:\Windows

reboot to continue
