Installing Windows Fail

[Tony_A]

I just made an awesome PC with 5800x and 3080 but Windows refuses to download. When I boot to the USB, a giant windows logo pops up but nothing happens. It doesn't ask me to continue or select a drive to download to. If you know how to fix this problem, please let me know. I'm about to sell this piece of shit.

Your blaming the PC just because a bug in windows? Have you tried remaking the boot USB?

Yea, I used this USB to install it on 3 other PC's this week. It doesn't work on this PC. I remade it and the same problem comes up. It's not Windows, it's the computer.

Ok so lets narrow down the differences between those 3 PC's and yours.

Are those 3 PC considerably older? Because there is a thing called UEFI now, and the USB installer needs a a lsightly different way of being made to actually work with the newer type of BIOSes

Also how did you 'make' the USB stick?

That means absolutely nothing for the computer you're trying to install Windows on now. I have a computer that won't boot from a USB Windows installer at all despite that installer working on every other computer I've used it with. What method did you use to make the bootable installer?

They're all brand new with 5000 series CPUs and 3080s. Nothing different. The USB isn't the problem, it worked for the other PCs. Straight from Microsoft

How can that be. Computers don't pick and choose USBs. Either it works or it doesn't. Let's say this PC doesn't like this USB, I have other ones I can use but I doubt that's the problem. I got it from Microsoft, October 2020. It's the newest one they have.

The BIOS was bugged, not outdated. I just reinstalled the same one and it worked.
