windows 10 1903 problem

[komo_cakeps]

specs:

 

ryzen 7 1700

msi a320m bazooka (bios updated to this date)

gtx 1070

tplink tg3468 (needed an extra LAN)

2 SSDs, 2 HDDs

 

before installing win10 1903 I only had 1 SSD and 2 HDD. I even bought 2nd SSD for a fresh install of win10 1903 and the other 3 drives untouched. went to BIOS to enable UEFI. installed win10, then installed corsair icue and logitech gaming software and restarted and it won't take me to windows screen anymore. second attempt I just fresh installed again, then as soon as I get to desktop I restarted and what do you know, I'm stuck at the black screen with the loading circle dots circling indefinitely.

You should be able to revert to 1809.  Do you want to do that, or do you wanna tackle this issue.  That is uncle billy for you, brake what isn't broken.

How is the OP going to revert a clean install of Windows 10 1903 to an older version? 

OP, did you have Windows 10 installed on your other SSD before you got the new SSD for a fresh install? Having multiple OS drives plugged in when installing another can get really wacky really fast. I've had Windows pull all sorts of wack shit, or if I installed Ubuntu it'd insist on booting to the GRUB loader even to get into Windows. Probably best to unplug any other drive with an operating system before installing to a new drive (can unplug them all to make sure you don't accidentally wipe one).

Ditto on this. Having two drives with Windows installs trying to coexist can be the fuckiest thing ever.

before this win10 install I was on win7 legacy and its installed on my previous SSD. I highly doubt that after switching to UEFI will the mobo/OS will have anything to do with detecting win7 that doesn't support UEFI. yeah I should probably go back to win10 15xx since I heard the earlier versions have problems with installing gtx1070.

 

and as I type this I am back to win7 legacy. frankly the only reason I'm switching to win10 is due to lack of ryzen support and indeed I was getting random BSODs. and more importantly I want to try a (possibly) more stable diskless software than the one I'm currently using (OBM diskless).

i've had a stupid issue in the past where Windows will put the boot loader on a different drive than the one you selected if it detects multiple drives. 

 

i would try booting from all the drives just to make sure it didn't put the bootloader on the wrong drive.

nonono don't do that. versions earlier than 1803 are now unsupported, meaning they don't get security updates. and 1803 only has a month left iirc.

also quote people so they get notifications for your replies.

I do remove the 2nd SSD from its plug when I go back to win7 just to be perfectly sure. the last thing I'd want is to shit up my win7 install. I could care less about the win10 bootloader when I can't get to desktop. as for 1803, I dunno, I get the feeling that I'd suffer the same fate. my ryzen is rather old. my bets are on backwards compatibility. as for security updates, nah that's far from priority. I'm not normie enough to buy in to the whole Y O U R  C O M P U T E R  M I G H T  B E  A T  R I S K

aaand I've decided to go to 1511. gtx1070 won't install on versions lower than this according to https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/gtx-1070-not-compatible-windows-10/#solution2

 

I'll let you know what happens after this. gotta sleep.

fixed. pretty much everything is fixed. drivers are up too. i miss windows photo viewer and picture manager though.
