If you get Error 0x80300024 , then see my answer below. Otherwise, you ought probably to ignore this question.





A friend has a laptop the like of which I can only dream of - brand new Core i7, 16GB RAM, 1tB SDD and 2tB HD.



He told me that the installed Windows 10, which was running fine, but discovered that it was 32 bit & "tried a few things" to install 64 bit. None of these "things" involved opening up the laptop, but that's about as much sense as I can get out of him.



I have his permission to delete everything, just get Windows 10 64 bit installed.



When booting UEFI, the laptop doesn't recognize an USB stick or USB DVD (he replaced the internal optical drive with the HD). So, I am booting in legacy mode.



I can do anything - except open the laptop. My resources are Linux on USB drive and Windows 10 64-bit ISO, which I have also put onto a USB drive. I made sure that both drives are MBR, rather than GPT (not that it matters, as he has max 2tB).



When trying to install, it blue screens with seemingly differing error messages each time one being an an exception in ntfs.sys, and one saying:




Windows cannot install required files.




Rather than chase after the errors, can someone tell me how to install, given that I can format/delete anything.

Disabling the HDD in BIOS works.
Had the same issue with my laptop. Initially was a little apprehensive about removing the HDD physically.
But,
I disabled the HDD in BIOS and then installed in the SSD. While installation only the SSD will show.Worked for me.After installation and everything, re-enable the HDD.
Hope this helps...
