the installer works and I have used it to install on other computers before I did this one. Originally the shut down would always happen as soon as I try to unplug the installer usb stick, but it appears to also shut down even when the stick is plugged in. I managed to get into windows 10, activate, update and all that, but computer would randomly shut down after a while, and event viewer doesn't tell me anything because the computer had lost power before it logged what's wrong. When I installed in uefi mode, it's a lot more complex. When I tried to install in legacy mode, it only got as far as finishing copying the files and then rebooting and then setting up the system, then it just shut down by itself this is a fresh install of windows 10, not upgrading from windows 7.
Q2900 desktop, runs windows 7 perfectly, but for the life of me I can't get windows 10 to function on this machine.
I am in that 2020 rush to try and get the computer to windows 10, but it just wouldn't let me.
