Monitor Not Displaying On Boot-Up While Installing Windows 10

Question

My PC came with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and while it was fine for a month I started to have some issues and wanted to go back to windows 10. I used the Installation Media option from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and everything was going fine up until it started the process of restarting my computer a few times while installing. I believe the percentage was around 80% or so when it restarted another time, but this time my monitor no longer was picking up anything that the PC was showing after about half an hour of waiting to see if it just needed a bit more time.

I know that the problem isn't the monitor itself or the HDMI cable since its still able to pick up my older computer just fine. The PC I was installing Windows 10 on turns on just fine, but it's just that nothing is registering on my monitor to even know where to start trying to fix it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

When you turn the computer off and on again does your motherboard logo appear or does something appear on the monitor?

Hi ,

I am Ivan, I will help you with this.

Did you install directly through Media creation tools or using a USB flash drive?

Answer 3

I have a USB I would be able to use, yes. Though if the monitor is not loading at all, how would I go about starting a clean installation? Or does it automatically detect the contents?

Answer 4

At this point it's better to do a clean installation using a USB flash drive, do you have one?

Answer 5

Directly through Media Creation Tools; I did not see anywhere on that download link that a USB was needed.
