So I got my sister a new PC and being the thrifty (and masochistic) fuck I am, I thought I'd build it myself. I built the PC yesterday (side note: Stick to backplate coolers, Push-Pin is the bane of my existence, patience and fingers) and wanted to install Windows today.
I shit you not, I ran this godforsaken spawn of Satan of 'Windows Media Creator Tool' no less than 5 times with different USB sticks, different Ports, turned off AV and FW and as Administrator but stuff ain't working. After ~30min of downloading Windows each time, it always told me in usual Windows manner "Something went wrong", because who needs decent error messages anyway...

    @alexThunder Tried that aswell. That one actually went through, but on startup, Windows Setup complained that it couldnt find any Product Key for an unattended installation (which I was never trying to do). Neither UEFI nor Legacy/BIOS boot did the trick. Also tried resetting the BIOS to optimized Defaults

    @alexThunder I used the Media Creation Tool to generate an ISO, which I then put on the USB with Rufus

    The meda creation tool can go the fuck to hell. What I did was downloading an iso from some half-decent third-party website and using that ever since. Recently, my friend tried the tool against my warnings. He rage-quit and asked me where I got my iso from...

    I've only ever had luck running the creation tool on your my machine once, failing, then running it on a friend's machine. Always works on friends' machines
