Just a thought from a passer by. I assume this won't be an issue (not sure what mother board/SSD type), but just in case:

If the new SSD is the newer M.2 NVME/PCIe (advertising speeds in the 2800-3600 MB/s ballpark) type as opposed to 2.5 inch or M.2 SATA (advertising speeds in the 480-600 MB/s ballpark), they can be very finicky to install clean to. I had to physically remove my other M.2 SATA drive during the install or Windows would refuse to install to it (the NVME) with errors about "can't create or locate a partition" or it simply jammed the boot files onto the second drive instead of the new drive where they belong...then failed to boot.

TLDR: If installing to NVME SSD, you may need to remove every other drive from PC before/during install, then replace afterward. If it's a SATA SSD, forget this and carry on!

 

You need to do what i posted to do, to create your en-GB ISO.

The checksums are here too: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-10-svf-repository.63324/page-138#post-1483627

 

It took me 2 days to figure this out on my Asus Zenith Extreme II, TRX40, 970 EVO Plus.
Turned off the Secure Boot. No UEFI, Enabled CSM, Removed every other USB Drive, SSD, NVMe, etc.
Disabled all LAN, WiFi, Bluetooth Cards In BIOS,
Only then It worked. freaking Microsoft.

 

Windows 10 has native NVMe and usb 3.x drivers so you shouldn't have had any issues. If you were attempting to install Windows 7, you would need to add the NVMe and usb 3.x drivers into the Windows 7.iso or add them during the install.

 

Still, I swear it WANTS to be on a SATA drive...really bad. I had to remove mine completely to stop Windows 10 from looking for that one instead of the NVME I had formatted and was pointing it at. At some point it installed on the M.2 NVME, but put the boot files on the M.2 SATA, so when I disabled the SATA from being a boot device in the BIOS/UEFI, it failed to boot. All this using old style MBR, not GPT...if it makes a difference, not sure.

 

I always disconnect all extra drives when i clean install windows, after it's installed i re-connect all drives.

 

So do I.... Windows has a terrible habit of installing the boot partition on the second drive if it can (this is not a bug....it is by design). So if you want your entire Windows install only on one drive, you have to disconnect all the other drives
