Hi everyone I have issues with fresh Windows installation and search the web for two days but can't seems to find the soluution and hoping you can help. I recently purchase a used Aspire S3-391-6046. The seller upgrade to Windows 10 Home. I replaced the 320GB hard drive with a 120GB SSD and both the 20GB and 120 GB drive were wipied. The BIOS is set to UEFI and ACHI mode. I am trying to fresh install Windows 10 on the 120GD SSD but it take a very long time and at the end it failed with error message "Windows cannot install required file. Make sure all file required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error Code 0x8007045D". I tried with both USB thumb drive and usb cd-rom and the issues. THe installation medis is good because i used them before. However I was able to install Windows 10 on the 20GB drive with no problem but it just too small.

 

Can anyone help me and tell me what the BIOS setting need to be in order to install WIndows 10 on the 120GB SSD please? I really dont care much about ISRT. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like you need to wipe the SSD to fix any problems.

    When you boot the USB Install flash drive, select "Repair your computer".

    Then, select "Advanced Options" and then select "Command Prompt".

    Once you are at the command prompt, type in the following commands:

    DISKPART
    LIST DISK
    SELECT DISK X                            \\Here, X is the number assigned to the SSD shown in response to the previous command
    CLEAN
    CONVERT GPT
    CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY 
    FORMAT FS=NTFS LABEL="Windows 10"
    ACTIVE
    EXIT
