Problem with installing Windows 10

Emi-Chan

Hi.

First off, a big sorry if this is the wrong forum for this kind of post, but i am just running out of options. I recently got ahold of a Samsung Evo 960 M.2 SSD 512GB. After using it a bit just as a game drive (dont hate me please) i decided to finally use it as my system drive. I backuped all important stuff as i planned to wipe all my drives anyways, as a clean up measure.

I created a Bootable Win 10 Stick with the Media Creation Tool provided by Microsoft. I can enter the Setup perfectly fine and all my peripherals light up (default effects/onboard stored effects). I am able to continue through the settings just fine. I am trying to install Windows 10 Pro without a license Key, as my Microsoft account has the license linked to it, so i'm gonna set that up once i can boot properly. 

Now the issue is that after preparing and (apperently) installing all the needed files, the setup asks me to restart to complete the setup. First of, i'm rather sceptical, as the "moving windows files" and the "installing features" part of the setup are over really quickly. Nevertheless, as soon as either i chose to click "reboot now" or the timer runs out, the window goes away and leaves me with a frozen, purple screen with a cursor, completely unresponsive. At this point also my preipherals stop being lit up.

I've tried using a different USB Stick, a different slot, using USB 2.0 instead of 3.0. I removed my third drive, which was basically just some left over drive from ancient times, same result. 

 

My setup:

Intel Core i7-7700K (not overclocking though)

AsRock Fatality Z270 Gaming K4

Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 RAM

Toshiba 3 TB HDD 7200RPM

Samsung Evo 960 M.2 SSD 512GB

 

Once again, sorry if this is the wrong subforum/forum at all,

if this is right here, thanks in advance for the help.

what was holding your OS before? The Toshiba 3TB drive? If so, is it still connected to the computer? ...shouldn't be.

Well, it was indeed holding my OS before. But i wiped everything clean as just a measure of.. cleaning up. (Formatted and cleaned in Windows Setup as well as diskpart). Should i still try without it?

Well, even after unplugging my 3 TB drive, i get the same results. I'm getting really frustrated at this.

UPDATE: Hey. I got it to work. After microsoft support told me that apperently the EVO series does not support the Windows OS, i decided to try and deactivate my onboard Graphics. And voila. Getting through the Setup like butter. Everything seems to work now.
