Trying to install windows 10 on a newly built computer

Both sticks are good. The ram was the only thing I could take out and still have the pc boot.

Cool, so now it’s just a testing game - keep adding things, going into BIOS each time to see if the component is detected.

Once you have the keyboard, mouse, boot drive and USB stick with Windows on it all working, let the PC boot from the USB stick and try installing Windows.
