Windows Failed to Install
Anyone have any ideas on what could be wrong?
I installed a new NVME drive into my pc. And trying to install windows on it says windows failed to install. (I had wiped my previous c drive in the process)
I tried a few times and got the same issue so thought I’d try reinstalling onto my original c ssd. But got the same error.
I thought it was the usb I’m using to install from but have recreated that using the official Microsoft creation tool and also rufus.
Stuck for ideas now. Maybe remove the Nvme?

Check Disk Space: You need at least 16 GB of free space for the 32-bit version or 20 GB for the 64-bit version. However, for a smooth upgrade, 40 GB or more is highly recommended. Free up space by deleting unnecessary files, uninstalling unused programs, and running Disk Cleanup.
Disconnect Peripheral Devices: Unplug any non-essential hardware (printers, scanners, external hard drives other than your bootable USB, USB hubs, cameras, etc.). Only keep your keyboard, mouse, monitor, and installation media.
This is because of incompatible driver. You need to update the device drivers first!
