Replacing a 128GB flash drive and install Win 10

[Marek77]

Hello,

I have an installation problem with Win 10 64 bit.  I replaced an existing 64GB disk for a 128GB drive and I want to install Win 10 instead of Win 8.1.

I have created a Win 10 bootable USB drive from the ISO file, but WIN 10 does not even start it, and it says Win8 recovery I do not want.

In the boot menu, I set up the flash drive first and disabled the security check in the boot menu.

Thanks.

Hi! @Marek77, Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!

I understand after replacing the SSD you have issues installing the operating system on your PC.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any software or hardware changes on your PC?

Have you tried installing the operating system on a different PC does it work?

Please share the product number of your PC to assist you better.

• HP provides installation instructions, compatible software, and updated drivers for most tablets sold after August 2013.

• If you purchased your tablet prior to August 2013, HP has not tested or developed drivers for your tablet model. Some features might not work, or the installation might not be successful.

• Make sure you have installed the latest version of drivers for your Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 product using HP Support Assistant.

However, try enabling secure boot option in BIOS.

1.    Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
2.    Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
3.    Go to system configuration tab and select boot option and enable secure boot.

4.    Press F10 to save changes and exit.

Also, try restoring the BIOS to default and check if it helps.

1.    Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
2.    Press the Power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS setup menu.
3.    On the BIOS Setup screen, press F9 to select and load the BIOS Setup Default settings.
4.    Press F10 to Save and Exit.
5.    Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
6.    Follow the prompts to restart your computer.

You can use Media Creation Tool to create Windows installation media, and then use the media to install Windows 10.

Step 1: Create the Windows installation media

Download Media Creation Tool, and then create the installation media.

You can run Media Creation Tool and create the Windows installation media on any computer.

1. Go to the Microsoft Get Windows 10 webpage (in English).

2. Click Download tool now.

3. Click Open, Save, or Run in any windows that display to download the tool to your computer.

4. Double-click the MediaCreationTool.exe file in the browser downloads bar or in the Downloads folder on the computer to launch the installation.

5. Accept the license terms.

6. Select Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC, and then click Next.

7. Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit or 32-bit) for the Windows 10 installation, and then click Next.

8. Insert a blank USB drive (16 GB or larger is recommended), select USB flash drive, and then click Next.

            If you prefer, you can insert a blank DVD, select ISO file, and then click Next. Installation from ISO media is for advanced users.

           Select the USB flash drive, and then click Next.

           After the Media Creation Tool finishes creating the installation USB drive, click Finish.

           Proceed to the next step to install Windows 10 on your computer using the installation media.
