    Installing Win10 on new HDD: Stuck at 86%


    I have made a bootable USB using Rufus as the windows media creation tool could not find my USB.

    I'm now trying to install Win10 onto a fresh HDD and the the installation is stuck at 86%. Any advice would be brilliant, thanks!

    USB 2.0 flash drives work better for Windows 10 installs as well as plugging then into black USB 2 ports and not blue USB 3 ports. The fact that MCT could not find the USB thumb drive should have been a danger sign.

    Also Rufus causes people a lot of problems if they don't select just exactly the correct combination of the overly complicated settings. There are much more reliable ways of creating the USB flash drive.

    Also, have nothing connected to the computer other than mouse, keyboard and monitor. Connect other devices after Windows is installed.
