Not hard, take your time and don't skip any steps.

To do a clean install, you must BOOT from the thumb drive after it has been properly prepared. Clicking and running Setup.exe assumes a working OS (apparently not so in your case). My desktop has a 6th gen i5, 16 gigs of RAM, should it really be taking this long or did I do something wrong?Good morning, Bob!Īnswer to first question.with no hitches, about 20-30 minutes.įrom what you posted, you are not doing a clean install. It's been 5 hours now and all I have is a black screen with a cursor. I downloaded the software and ran setup from the USB and followed all the instructions.

I decided to reinstall Windows using a USB. So I managed to screw up my computer so bad the default image viewer and video player are missing and my taskbar and start button no longer work.
