I've been trying to install windows 10 onto 2 PCs. One being an old dell workstation and the other being an older home computer. I've installed new hard drives and when installing windows 10 from a USB it goes as normal I've installed windows 10 seven or eight times until the very end, when it finishes installing a prompt comes up saying that the computer needs to restart to continue. When it does restart the whole process restarts downloading windows 10 that is and I can't get into windows.
I thought redoing the download would fix the issue but it persists. I've wiped the hard drives again as well as tried a new USB and the problem still continues. Is there a solution that I'm not seeing? The USB is highest on the boot order as I saw on other threads of this so that shouldn't be the issue.
