I installed Windows 10 however i that took 32 hours to install plus it never boots it just shows the windows icon and the swirling balls I'm not sure what else to do.

Hope someone can help

format the disk and recreate the installation media and try it again. also reset your bios settings

I've got it working now thank you for replying but the issue seemed to be ram. When I tried to boot I was just getting a blue screen after messing with different Sata ports so I removed all ram and tried one stick at a time. I'm now in 2GB but I seem to have a faulty stick

Have fun

2GB is the min for running windows 10.  I'm curious as to how well it runs compared to your main rig 

 

edit: RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
