So, since I have removed the OS partition to make room for Win10 (it only has an 80GB drive), I though that (maybe) the following could work:ġ) Boot from a WinPE disk to get access to a file managerĢ) Copy the contents of the Win10 DVD to a partition on the driveģ) Right-click setup.exe in the Win10 folder and run it - to start the actual installationĪnyone know for a fact this will NOT work - and save me the time trying it?
It won't boot from USB so I made a DVD of Win10 and while it starts to boot from that, and puts up the little blue "window" logo, 10 hours later, that's still there and there's no sign of activity - other than when I remove the DVD, Windows complains about being interrupted.
