Windows 10 installation failed,i was going to install Windows 10 on another computer,that was the first time I did that,but unfortunately,i failed. After the installation disk was inserted into the computer,the computer failed to detect it,it was a DIY installation disk.
My colleague suggested to try the method (Windows 10 installation media ) provided by Microsoft next,before that,i would like to know what good suggestions the majority of netizens have.

We had this problem recently. It was because the hard drive was not big enough to hold the old version of windows and the new version at the same time during the upgrade. What size hard disc do you have @Titanic2.0

I have a feeling ours was about the same. We put in a 512GB SSD and then did the upgrade. Well I say we, the local computer store did it.

In this ancient forum you sent, I found some suggestions for Windows upgrading,it seems that there are so many people who support it. No matter what, I will take a closer look at the suggestions you said.

If your hypothesis is true, I can try it right away.
I need to buy a new SSD because I only have USB (I was going to use it as a Windows 10 installation disk) at home,i bought 5 on Black Friday.

Generally speaking, it is feasible to install Windows 10 using the installation disk. This is a very common method. Many people are good at doing this. Maybe your DIY installation disk cannot work, so the computer doesn't detect it.

Is this just another Pre spam post?

That crossed my mind too. So we put them on the watch list.

All the faults originated from the DIY installation disk,i started it on my brother’s computer and it did not work,so it was confirmed that it was a scrapped disk,then i recreated one and successfully installed Windows 10 with it.
