I'm aware this topic has been discussed before but my situation is a bit different. I'm trying to install win10 on my newly build pc. before I was on a MacBook air. I got the error code 0xC0000005 when trying to install but I'm not sure how to fix this when I don't have a pc with windows on it. I'm also sure this is not because of my RAM or hard disk since those are brand new and are connected properly. does anyone have any ideas on fixing this problem?

    Hi Kai6407，

    Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.

    It sounds like an error code 0xC0000005 occured when you installing Windows.

    To narrow down the cause of the issue, I would like to confirm few questions first:

    1. Whether your installation is based on the steps in Install Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp Assistant - Apple Support?
    2. Where the error code appears?
    3. whether it is installed under the Bootcamp partition?
    4. Which methods have you tried to repair this?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    Kai6407,

    It is necessary to format all hard drives even if they are new before installing Windows. Then you could see if this error still occurs.
