Windows 10 installation error

Solved
nekfury -  
Hello, a few days ago, I created a bootable Windows 10 USB for my little brother's PC, but during the installation, the following message appeared: "Windows cannot install the required files. Make sure all the necessary files for installation are available and restart the computer. Error code: 0x800703EE"
Despite my research, I haven't found any solutions even after trying to install Windows on another hard drive and using a different USB stick.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    The files must be corrupted.

    Format the drive and test it with H2testw

    (Unless you’re sure it’s not counterfeit)

    Redownload the ISO and redo it with Rufus.

      Hi,
      I know it's not corrupted since I created it myself with Microsoft's MediaCreationTool, but I'm still going to try your method.

    Hello,

    It's a bit light to get an idea ...

    What model of PC are you trying to install W10 on?
    How did you create your installation key?

      Hi,
      this is a setup with components that are 1-2 years old that I no longer use, I don't remember it by heart but I could find it again if you think it's useful. The key was created with Microsoft's MediaCreationTool.

    Hi,

    Is the USB key really 8 GB?
    If not, try another one.
    It could also be a hardware issue with the disk.

      Hi,
      yes, she even has 16 and I created two keys and both failed.
      I also thought about the drive but the problem is the same when installing on the secondary drive.

    A small picture of this error message would be nice and at what stage it appears.

    Are you installing in UEFI or legacy?
    Did this PC already have Windows on it or something else?

      Hi,
      I believe in UEFI but I'm not sure, could you explain the difference?
      No, the HDD is blank (and new)
      P.S.: I don't know why but the image won't upload, sorry.

      @nekfuryWith the image, you need to write, otherwise it won't pass alone. (maybe that)

    I contacted the seller of the HDD and after some discussion, my PC is working. It was probably a hardware issue :)
