Problem formating pc with Windows 10 OEM DVD, stuck at windows logo
Hello,
I bought a Windows 10 OEM DVD in order to format my current PC that runs Windows 7 professional which probably has been infected with a virus and has some issues. I backed up everything I needed and set the boot priority in BIOS to boot from CD/DVD.
I insert the Windows 10 DVD I bought in the drive and start the PC. It correctly boots from DVD and I can see the Windows 10 blue logo, but that's all I see. Nothing else happens, it just stays there for over an hour.
In order to check whether there is a problem with the DVD, I opened the DVD from inside Windows 7 and I was able run setup.exe and it proceed fine but I did not actually complete the procedure since I don't want to upgrade my current OS.
What I want is:
1.Boot from the Windows 10 OEM DVD.
2. Run diskpart and the "clean all" to wipe the drive clean to make sure that if there are any infections, they are removed.
3.Install Windows 10 on the clean HDD.
My PC specs are:
CPU: Intel Core 2 DUO E8400 @ 3 GHz
Memory: 4GB
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q Deluxe
Now I am currently stuck at (1) because the DVD is stuck at the Windows 10 blue logo and I cannot proceed to the setup menu. Can anyone please give me some tips to resolve this issue?
