Trying to do a clean install, but it always says it can't install to the drive because it can't find a partition or create a new on despite the fact it shows up, I tried formatting it in with the setup and in windows, but neither worked

Windows 10

Windows setup can be very picky sometimes and I experienced something similar back when I was trying to install Windows 8. And since the installer didn't change much in Windows 10, that may be the cause too. Basically, disconnect all disks you can (e.g. external hard drives, memory cards, card readers, etc) before going into install (except the disk you plan installing to and the installation media, in case you're using an USB Flash Drive)...

Yeah, that's what I read about online, but it turns out I was just dumb and should have deleted the partition and not formatted it

Hmm, how is Windows 10 for everyone? I haven't got the upgrade notification yet and I'm not sure if I should upgrade right now either.

Been using for some days and despite the new scale settings being dumb (and the inability to switch back to the old behaviour), I've got zero issues. Also, you don't need to wait for the notification, just get Media Creation Tool and update at you will (like now, if you want)...

Make sure your ISO is not corrupted if you opted to download that (which I'd suggest anyway). Then delete the small partition Windows automatically creates and the Windows partition and create one in the Windows 10 installer (it should create a -bigger- partition for its stuff) and try to install. 08-02-2015, 01:11 AM

If you right-click on the desktop, click on Display Settings, the first slider is the scaling factor. I set mine back to 100% and it look just like it did befre the upgrade (100% at 1080p) To force the Windows 10 installer to run from Windows upgrade, open Command prompt as an administrator, and run the command "wuauclt.exe /updatenow" to force it to run the updater (I've done this for several computers now). If it still fails, open File explorer, go to Windows > Software Distribution and delete everything (you may not be able to delete a few files that are in-use, but its ok, just skip them. Then re-run the command. 08-02-2015, 02:47 AM

I set mine back to 100% and it look just like it did befre the upgrade (100% at 1080p) That's not my issue, I already messed with that setting. My laptop has a 15.6" screen and it's native resolution is 1920x1080. Setting the scaling factor at 100% makes things so small that I would need a magnifying glass to see some elements. And because of that, Windows sets my scaling factor at 125%, by defaut, and the elements on screen become a "normal" size. But, starting in Windows 8.1, they introduced this new "scaling factor" behaviour where Windows simply stretches non-high DPI aware apps to the new scale, instead of making them run in a higher DPI, leaving these apps blurry. To fix that I would simply go into advanced settings and switch back to the old behaviour (from Windows 8 and Windows 7), where I would leave the scaling factor intact (100%) and change just the DPI to a higher value (120 in my case), effectively making things appear in a "normal" size without making non-high DPI aware apps blurry. However, this setting is gone in Windows 10, after digging a little I managed to set my DPI to 120 but despite that it still apply scaling factor in non-high DPI aware apps, leaving them blurry...

I've been getting this bug with scaling for a little while now (it even has occurred after a complete wipe of the OS) where the first time I log in from a clean boot my scaling option for my second display is reset to like 150% or something, causing blurriness on all the applications I use on that display. I would have to log out and log back in for the scaling settings to fix itself. Hopefully that bug will be fixed when I update because it is starting to get a bit annoying now...
(The wuauclt.exe command worked, thanks. Although right now the progress bar is not being helpful by giving me the "indeterminate amount of progress" bar and saying that it's "Getting setup files".) |
