    Why don't you just deploy it with DISM /apply-image or imagex /apply or imagex instead of relying on the outdated Setup.exe?

    Did you try to burn the ISO on DVD and then start the installation from DVD?

    According to coreinfo my cpu supports CMPXCHG16
    What is this: DISM /apply-image or imagex /apply or imagex
    I have no DVD drive. Where i live a DVD drive is about 40 USD

    BIOS was flashed about 5 years ago. Ran MemTest86 no errors found.
    I had 4GB but i accidentally broke one stick.
    I CAN CLEAN INSTALL WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE 1 ISO.
    I CANNOT CLEAN INSTALL WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE 3 ISO.
    I am doing everything the same. What is there to do wrong.
    Generation2 has a Windows 7 ISO that uses the Windows 8 installer. That ISO will not clean install on my desktop.
    The Original Windows 10 will clean install on my desktop.
    I have not tried any of the newer Win 10 ISO's because I HATE Windows 10.
