So I recently wiped my drives in my computer, a m.2 and 2 HDDs, now im trying to reinstall windows 10 via usb installer on the m.2. Everything goes fine until it restarts and I select the m.2 to boot from. At that point it tried to run the installer again and install on to a different drive. And when i go back and rewipe all the drives the same thing happens again. I've also tried installing and booting from the other drives and the same thing happens. So im basically stuck in a windows 10 installation loop

    When performing a clean install it is best to disconnect all non-Windows disk drives.

    Hi Kenny,

    Thank you for posting your query.

    To resolve your issue may I know if you do have an active anti-virus, if yes, kindly disable it first then restart your device afterwards try installing again Windows 10.

    If issue persist You can also perform an Automatic Repair with your Windows 10 installation USB or disc.

    To get started, wait for the PC to start and display the manufacturer logo, and then check the boot menu option (F12). If you don’t see it, refer to your device user manual.

    Next, reboot your PC and when you see the manufacturer’s logo, press the Boot menu option severally to enter the boot menu. Select CD/DVD ROM or USB.

    Once your PC starts up using the System Repair disc or Windows DVD, you’ll see a black screen with a message saying “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD”.

    Press any key and then select the keyboard type and correct time.

    Next, select Repair your computer at the bottom left side of your screen.

    Select Troubleshooting > Advanced Option.

    Finally select Startup Repair.

    Do not hesitate to message us if you need further assistance.
