Issues encountered during installation of the Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant
When using a USB boot drive created with Microsoft's official “Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant” tool, the installation program encounters an error during boot and attempts to install the system, displaying the message “The media program required by the computer is missing,” preventing the installation from proceeding. I would like to understand the specific troubleshooting and resolution methods.

The error message “The media program required by the computer is missing” during a Windows 10 upgrade from a USB boot drive typically indicates an issue with the installation media or the boot process itself. This can stem from corrupted files, an improperly created bootable drive, compatibility issues, or hardware problems.
