Windows Installation Errors and Verification Management

If you encounter installation errors during the process, it’s essential to verify the installation process thoroughly. Here are some steps to follow:

Pre-Installation Steps

  • Check the System Requirements: Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for Windows installation.

  • Disable UEFI Secure Boot: If your motherboard supports UEFI Secure Boot, disable it to allow UBA (Unified Boot Authentication and Authorization) to function correctly.

  • Reset CMOS: Resetting the CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) may resolve issues related to booting.

  • Run a System File Checker (SFC) Scan: Run a SFC scan to identify and fix corrupted system files.

Bootable Media Management

  • Create a Bootable USB Drive or CD/DVD:

* Insert the installation media into your computer.

* Select your language, keyboard, and other settings.

* Choose “Custom: Repair my PC” or “Repair my computer”.

  • Run a System Check: Run a system check to identify potential issues with hardware components.

Verification Steps

  • Check Disk Space: Ensure you have enough free space on the disk where Windows is installed.

  • Verify Network Connection: Connect to the internet and ensure your network adapter is enabled.

  • Test Internet Connectivity: Check your internet connection using a web browser or email client.

  • Run System File Checker (SFC) Scan:

* Type sfc /scannow in Command Prompt as an administrator.

* Follow the prompts to scan and repair system files.

Error Resolution

  • System Restore:

* If you’ve made recent changes, try restoring your computer to a previous point when everything was working properly.

  • Driver Updates: Check for updates for all installed hardware devices (e.g., sound, graphics card).

  • Update Windows Components: Update Windows components such as Windows Media Player or Adobe Flash.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps

  • Check Event Viewer:

* Open the Event Viewer by typing eventvwr.msc in the Start menu.
