Windows 10 installation issue via USB key created with Rufus

Last little problem....
Booting from USB with Winpe iso....perfect....except that it shows the blue Windows logo and has been stuck for 2 hours....
I installed it on a 2 GB USB stick, could that be the issue?

Best regards

Hello
instead of doing "install", do "repair the computer" in the bottom left
then from the command prompt format the disk
after that, redo the installation

Thank you very much for your response. I will try.
But the problem is that it’s a notebook without a CD drive, so I will need to transfer the content of your live CD to a bootable USB drive.
Should I still use Rufus to create it?
Finally, I succeeded in booting from the W10 USB drive, and when I try to repair, none of the options work. There is no information on a previous image or on a restore point.
It is impossible to restore W7 by pressing F9 at startup.
I assume that the installation with data preservation will fail and that only a complete installation has a chance of succeeding if the SSD is not damaged!

Hello again,

I have a little problem; your WinPE is on Mega, and once it's downloaded, I can't find it on my computer... where is that little rascal hiding?
Should I open my Mega to find it??

Thank you for your response.

Best regards.

yes browse through the folders and copy what you can onto a USB key or external hard drive.

Reinstall Windows 10 without formatting:

The principle is to create a Windows 10 installation USB key and boot the computer from it to reinstall Windows without formatting in order to keep the data.
Since the computer is frozen, you need to create it from another functional computer.

To create the USB key:

You need a USB key of at least 8 GB.

• Create a USB key with Media Creation Tool: Download and create a Windows 10 USB key with Media Creation Tool
• Boot from it by modifying the boot sequence and indicate the USB key or the DVD: How to boot the computer from USB key

If the key does not work, try making another one with Rufus: how to download Rufus.

• Download the ISO file from the direct links or from Rufus: Download Windows ISO
• Launch Rufus and then indicate the path of the ISO file
• In partition scheme, choose GPT.
• For more details, refer to this tutorial for specifics: how to create a Windows installation USB key

The Windows 10 installation program should then start:

Follow these tutorials that explain how to install Windows 10:

• how to install Windows 10 (malekal.com)
• how to install Windows 10 (CCM)

All the steps are provided from A to Z with tips at the end to secure Windows 10.

• Let yourself be guided to install Windows 10.
• Choose customize (not upgrade)
• During the partition phase, select the main partition and click next.

• The installer will tell you that Windows is already present and offer to move it.

• Follow the Windows installation procedure using the tutorial above.

Make sure not to format.

Your user data will be copied to the Windows.old folder.

Once Windows is installed, I recommend following these tips to properly configure and use Windows: Tips after reinstalling Windows.
