Hello everyone, 
I'm sorry for the noob questions and formatting. I'm new to the website and posting in general. Please don't judge me too hard on my new build, I was on a budget.
Background info 
I recently, as in three days ago, built a new computer. My old computer was around four years old; it did not have PCI Express 3.0, and the CPU was an AMD Phenom II. I successfully did a test boot, on the new computer, to ensure nothing was damaged during shipping or damaged during the building process. Since I was on a budget, I decided to reuse some of my old computer parts. Specifically, I reused the hard drives and the optical drive.
Problem
When I got around to installing Windows 10 from a flash drive, the install would go smoothly, until I got to the "Getting Files Ready for Install" screen. Every time I reached 70+%, the install would crash, and the error code 0x8007025D would come up. I looked up reasons why this code would come up and I received anything from the Windows ISO is corrupted to RAM issues. My motherboard recognizes the RAM at the UEFI. Also, I used Microsoft's media creation tool to redownload Windows 10 ISO on a different flash drive but still got the same issue. 
Question
Is this a hardware problem? Is it because I am reusing my HDD from my old computer? Or is it because it is a new built I need to type in a Windows 10 key at the beginning of the install?

1. Welcome to the forum

2. Try Windows install with only 1 stick of ram installed

3.Try making the bootable USB with RUFUS

 

Maybe the raid is causing a problem, are you trying a clean install over the information on the raid drive or upgrade?
