For this to work you will need the exact same PC or else it will not work! When you install Windows it will install all drivers etc. for that PC. If you are lucky it might boot into windows because the specs are similar, but then you will have problems.

 

Install Windows with the PC it will be running with.

My Setup: 
CPU: i7 4790 @3800 MHz, MB: MSI H87-G41, Grafik: Gigabyte GTX 1080TI, RAM: 2x 8GB DDR3 (1600), Storage: Samsung SSD 850 Evo

From what are you installing? CD or USB Stick?

A usb

Okay. I had that error once, but not sure what the problem was... But the USB Stick worked on the other PC?

Maybe try another USB Port, maybe this helps.

 

BTW: You are installing Win 10?
