Can install window 10

[Logan_Gregory]

I built a new computer using a old hard drive and old ram, the rest of the parts are new, when I got it together and powered it up I couldn’t get past the error your pc needs to be repaired screen, I downloaded windows media to flash drive and selected it the bios and that got me to the windows setup, I’ve gone through all the repair options and went through the install without key and tried that way but it sends me back to the error screen at the end, I got a disc with my motherboard but I have no disc drive to use it with, I’m not sure if that’s the problem or what do to?

The above suggests that you used a drive from another PC that already had Windows installed on it, you can`t do this as the drivers for the previous computer are also installed and when Windows tries to load the wrong drivers the PC falls over, this is the same reason why the repair option will not work.

You need to do a clean install of Windows and before updating anything you must install the chipset drivers for the present MB.

To add to what Phill has stated here are some other things that need to be addressed.

Some parts are made of newer hardware is made for newer software only and vice versa.

Did you also make sure that the RAM is combatable with the CPU and the Motherboard?

Posting in a technical forum and not including any technical information (make and model) of the part’s makes it extremally had to provide proper information.

Why not do a clean install. Not a repair
Reinstall Win 10 Fresh Install

Download the win 10 tool run it to recreate the flash drive – Must be minimum 8GB

Download Windows 10

Watch this video
How To Install Windows 10 From USB - YouTube
In the video at 2:54 you will notice it restarts the computer.
When you are doing this and you get to that point Remove the usb stick whilst it is restarting.
Also if you want to setup a local account instead of logging in with a Microsoft account
Turn off your wireless network and or remove the network cable.
This point is 3.32 in the video - Choose I don’t have internet.
If you want to log in with a Microsoft account then leave the network as is.

Before doing any install, it is a good idea to go to the support page for your system. Download the drivers you are going to need ie chipset, sound, video, wireless, etc. While win10 has a lot of native drivers, microsoft drivers are designed for ease of use and are NOT designed for any type of performance. Store these drivers on another usb or you can even just make a folder on your install usb when you are finished making the install usb. Copy the drivers into that folder.

When you are finished with the install, then install your drivers. Install the chipset first then the rest of them. Reboot each time when prompted.

Looks like they are a hit and run poster Peter but fwiw I did post the below;

Going to go ahead and close it as abandoned but answered being that we are all in agreement as to the cause of the issue.
