I'm really not sure what to do. The boot ssd on the m.2 slot is brand new as is the mobo, the chip, the memory, the power supply, all of the other ssd and most of the hdds. Trying to find which...

Okay, if what you say is true (and I have no reason to doubt it) then I'm dead in the water, again. There is no way I know of to find out what the actual issue is . . . and this is (at least) the...

History: The pc I built to replace my previous DAW has suffered from intermittent problems; in each previous case, I simply ended up (right or wrong) pulling the non-essential ssd/hdds and did a...

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I have automatic updates turned off via a utility and I haven't turned it on for several weeks, at least. I would have thought that had M$ restored it somehow that the whole program would be...

Current version of Windows 10 Pro.

I followed a tutorial here do uninstall OneDrive. While using Explorer today (on this laptop), I see that OneDrive folder keeps reappearing. I don't find...

Yes, I have two monitors mounted. well, that doesn't seem reasonable (not a reflection upon you, just the idea that, in the modern era of computing, we can't cope with more than a single monitor)...

I may have tumbled into the solution -- at least, so far as getting the windows install to finally work. There is/was a particular bios setting (I'm afraid I'll have to go look it up again, I don't...

I could NOT complete anything -- so far as I can determine, the install never begins. That's not to say I don't have something set wrong in the bios but it isn't obvious to me what it could be and...

Yes. I've used it twice and twice after successful installation the system refused to boot or do anything. I cannot, at this time, get to any of the screens in the tutorial -- I can see no evidence...

usb is formatted by the media creation tool AFAIK;

All drives have been disconnected -- with the exception of the drive for the user profile install (as per Kari's tutorial found here).

UEFI...

That is something to consider. With an i9 chip, I had assumed that it would be 'modern' but perhaps there are issues with the mobo that, while new to me, has been on the market for awhile. Thank...

I did ultimately get a new power supply. Would that it had made things better rather than bitter.....

Okay - things just keep going from bad to worse and I'm my wit's end. ...

I am unable to make the process work as described but I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the problems are unrelated to the processes described here and, instead, appear to result from...

For reference: how many DAWs have you built and used for content creation? If you have, how many DAW applications have you had installed and in use at the same time? How many of them were legacy? ...

I am at the basic configuration stage of the new system (current version of Windows 10 pro) just installed last week (finally).

Before I begin installing a plethora of software I need, I want to...

apparently not.

Okay, I'm back and still trying to figure a few things out (big surprise) . . . what I'm looking for is a simple tutorial that tells me how to change where Windows 10 pro defaults new users to -- I...

I'm not yet ready to celebrate but the basic new install is done and I've been busily configuring and bring additional resources (more drives, more RAM, etc.) and troubleshooting (the native realtek...

This seems somewhat counter to what Megahertz encouraged -- which is what I was planning to do this morning after I make sure I have all the current mobo drivers loaded on a different usb drive.

I don't know anything about 'rufus' . . .

Bios is set to UEFI+Legacy. I have never tried doing anything in a strictly UEFI mode.

fast/secure boot are off but I will...

Windows 10 pro (if it ever installs), i9-9900kf chip, MSI MPG z390 Gaming Plus mobo, 64gb ddr4 ram, EVGA 850 watt power supply with a nasty coil whine, Samsung 970 EVO plus 2TB

I'm still...

I have tried getting to safe mode with and without the USB being present. I have reconfigured (from the bios) trying different boot configurations as necessary.

Previous to the previous message,...

I thought I responded to this but I already tried to get MS to accept the old W7 key -- the one they accepted when I crossed over to the Windows 10 dark side back in March. Now it is invalid for...

This is exactly what I've already done -- that's almost exactly how I did it -- with the exception that I used a link that I found in an online MS support response.
