Hi there, James! This is Marc. Thank you for reaching out to the community.

Thanks for providing those details. Based on what you've described, here are a few approaches we can try.

Enable .NET Framework 3.5

> Open Start > type “turn Windows features on or off” > launch it.

> Check .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) and all its child items > OK.

> If that fails, install from an command prompt with admin rights:

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:NetFx3 /All /LimitAccess /Source:X:\sources\sxs

(replace X: with your Windows install media drive)

Repair your Windows image Open an elevated (Admin) PowerShell or Command Prompt and run:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

SFC /Scannow

This replaces any missing or corrupt system files that the .NET installer and Windows Update rely on.

You don’t need the AMD driver for a clean install or in-place repair. Windows will load its generic Microsoft Basic Display Adapter instead. To ensure Setup doesn’t pull your AMD package back in:

> Disconnect from the internet or disable automatic driver updates by going to
> Settings > System > About > Advanced system settings > Hardware > Device Installation Settings > “No”.

> After Windows is live, install only the latest AMD driver from AMD’s site.

Let me know how it goes or if you need more assistance with any of these steps!

Best regards,
