I downloaded Win10 a few days ago and decided to install it yesterday.
The PC kept showing a message "Cannot install windows 10 on a USB flash drive"
I had no USB devices plugged in and after three atempts I decided to look at the FAQ on the Windows forum.
I finished up editing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE setting in the Registry. Changing the value of file from 1 to 0.
After that Windows 10 installed within an hour and up to now seems trouble free.
All my software, files, passwords and setting have been retained.
Lets hope it stays that way.
