There are no teenagers in the house. Since the original post I have installed Windows 10 and it has ran OK for over 2 weeks. My new SSD is configured for GPT. I started to try and enable UEFI mode on my motherboard (a Gigabyte B360M DS3H) but the instructions I was following for a Gigabyte...

I have a PC which had Windows 11 installed and was working OK. I was taken ill and confined to bed for 10 days, unable to raise the energy to go near the computer. When i was eventually fit enough I found the PC had crashed, no error messages, nothing. I tried all the usual solutions but nothing...

Thank you to everyone who offered advice and help. I have finally completed the installation using the Windows 11 assistant tool, as suggested originally by Freebooter.

Thanks for the advice. I downloaded the media creation tool and put it on a USB. I started the installation process and left the computer while it performed it's magic. When i returned I was met by my BIOS screen and a message saying "The installation failed in the "SAFE_OS phase with an error...

I have finally managed to set up the security requirements for Windows 11, I pass the Health Check but Windows 11 isn't available to install. How do i get the install to run? I'd prefer the upgrade/update process to be automatic from Microsoft, as I have already registered Windows 10 pro and...

I have recently had major crashes on both my laptop and desktop Windows 11 installations. (I also had a similar issue on my old Windows 10 laptop). All of the issues 'appear' to come after an update has been installed. Is anyone else having such problems and is it known if Microsoft have issued...

Not sure what I've done. but PC is now booting to Windows. (I unplugged the internal HDD, removed it to check visualy for damge. replaced it and it was OK) However, I have now suffered several BSD, always when copying files to a backup disc, and each time I received a System service Exception...

Also, USB is not included in Boot Priority Options, only SSD and DVD drive.

Switch off power, switch on power with USB connected. USB not being read? Tried an old Windows 10 DVD recovery disk, still not reponding. USB recovery disc was created from within Windows system. System Disc is 500GB SSD,

Accessed my PC this morning and it froze before crashing with the BSD and a kernal Missing error message. Now it refuses to reboot (continual circling dots) and won't respond to a USB recovery drive. What do I do next, please? PS Unable to access any logs etc, sure you'll understand.

Thanks for all the suggestions/advice, especially Mooly who gave me the clue to trace the RST drivers.. I have now managed to obtain and install the Intel RST divers. I now have drive options for the installation location (see attached), however when I select Partition 2 I get the message that...

Hi, I can confirm that the USB Flash drive was 64GB, formated as FAT32 and has been tried with both a downloaded ISO file and with the ISO file unzipped to the USB. maybe I wasn't clear enough? The problem starts when i get to the installation stage that asks where you want the installation to...

Microsoft website. Did i make a mistake when I extracted the ISO onto the USB?

i've just bought a new laptop and made the mistake of not realising it didn't come with an OS installed. I have a valid Key and have tried downloading the installation files, but keep getting the "No signed device drivers were found" Error message. I can't work out whats wrong or how to move...

Just opened the desktop and checked again. there was already something plugged into both USB plugs on the motherboard. I've disconnected one of them and discovered that it was actually a Dual band WiFi card, which obviously wasn't working. The new card is now working and I eventually have WiFi...
