    I have downloaded Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool. When i try and boot from the USB the installer says that the installation media is missing a driver (not specific) and I cannot proceed with the install.

    Where do I get the missing driver from?

    你可以通过下载windows10的镜像文件(打开下载 Windows 10 (microsoft.com)，to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now)，然后选择为另一台电脑创建下载，选择ISO，然后在下载完成后，退出工具而不要选择光盘刻录）。

    双击镜像文件，选择sources\setup.exe，来全新安装。

    Hi HR1SD

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    The first thing to check is if a full set of device drivers is available for Windows 10 for your new laptop on the support page for your laptop on the manufacturers website.

    If they are not available, you should not install Windows 10 on that laptop.

    2

    If the drivers are available, you would need to create a bootable Windows 10 USB, then clean install Windows 10 by booting from that and wiping the internal drive.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool

    Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS) to begin installing Windows 10

    During the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC'

    3

    Windows 10 may self activate when it is installed, since 10 an 11 currently share a common set of keys.

    If Windows 10 does not self activate, you would need to purchase a Windows 10 licence.
