    I built my own PC recently and for some reason it keeps going through a endless cycle of reboots after it installs the files. Is windows 10 unable to be installed on a computer with no OS on it before i try to install it on to the computer. Can i install windows 10 on Home Built brand new pc with nothing installed on it previously?

    Hi Danie.Welcome to Computer Help Forums.
    You can do a clean install of Windows 10, however if no OS system on it previous you won't be able to validate.
    You will have to buy a product key from Microsoft.
    What method are you installing Windows 10 and where did the copy come from?

    Again,Danie
    How are you installing Windows 10?
    off what?

    Does the key match the version of Windows 10 you are trying to install?

    What is on the HDD now and is it partitioned?

    Hi Danie. I think you are going to struggle doing this. A lot of terms will be beyond your comprehension I feel and to explain every thing we ask you to do and also explain how to do every step will be very time consuming.
    Have you a friend who could help you?
    I will seek advice from Admin to see what they think.:)
