HP Pavilion is stuck on 88% installation of Windows 10

You must have the flash drive plugged into the USB port, before you turn on or restart the PC.

OK, wish me luck 😉

I have to ask, just not sure Paul.  Here's a snip of what I see and not sure which to choose.  I know it's one of the Sandisk as that's what I use, but I don't want to make another mistake as we've come so far. Forgot photo, omg 😞

If your USB flash drive is made by Sandisk, then that is the one you want.

The one the little arrow thingy is one right now.  UEFI Sandisk.

Press the Enter key and off you go.

I thought that might be it, just wasn't 100% sure, thanks Paul, what do you want for Christmas?? 😁

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I want your PC to be working today.  😄

When you get past the W10 Install Now screen and you get to the screen that asks, 'Where do you want to install Windows,' delete every partition on the hard drive, leaving just one partition of unallocated space.

Click Next and W10 will install.

Here's a pic Paul, was just writing you about this.  Which is unallocated?  Probably dumb question:

Do you have two hard drives in your PC?

I see two drives 0 (storage) and 1 Primary.

The product specs indicate that your PC has one 1 TB hard drive.

If the specs are correct and you are not using a second drive for storage...

What you want to do is to delete all of those partitions on drive 0 and drive 1, so that you end up with only one partition of unallocated space.

Make sure you don't have any other 1 TB drives connected such as a portable hard drive.

Yes, I have 2 Paul, if I didn't talk about that early on I apologize.  I put in a new SSD along with leaving/using the old HDD at the recommendation of the guys down at the shop here in town.  That's the one marked Storage I think, not sure though, seems logical.  I know it also says Primary, and the SSD is in the slot that was available.  Problem was, when I pulled up System specs it never showed the new install etc. 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Cool.

I had gone back to look at your boot options menu and see that.

So...leave drive 0 alone, and delete all of the partitions on Drive 1, leaving just one partition of unallocated space.

Install Windows on Drive 1's unallocated space.
