Black screen with flashing cursor when trying to install.
I've made three attempts to install Windows 10 on my desktop PC with no success. First with the WindowsTechnicalPreview-x64-EN-US.iso and then with my MSDN en_windows_technical_preview_for_enterprise_x64_dvd_5554079.iso. I'm using a 16 GB USB thumb drive. I tried making it with Rufus first and then with the Windows 7 USB DVD download tool. Within seconds of booting from it all I get a black screen with a flashing cursor. The same thumb drive formatted with the USB DVD Download tool boots fine on my ASUS Laptop. I was able to install Windows 10 in UEFI mode with no issues on my laptop. The laptop has UEFI the desktop doesn't. My laptop is fine with an NTFS formatted thumb drive for UEFI installs. Most PC's won't let you do that but my laptop will. Next step is to burn a DVD and try it the old fashioned way I guess. Anybody else with similar issues?
