Windows 10 X64 Pro VL incl Office 2019 en-US AUG 2020 {Gen2}
I'm trying to install the above OS as I have done countless times before with {Gen2}'s excellent releases. I write the ISO to a flash using RUFUS in either GPT or MBR mode as required. The problem I am having is that the installation just stops at 70% and the install reverts to the Windows setup start screen. I restarted the machine and cleaned the brand new SSD drive and the same thing happens. I've restarted the installation with out cleaing the drive (Windows warrning of previous installation) and the same thing happens. The installation just stops at 70%. I've also tried using previous versions of RUFUS, using various flash drives and performed the install on different PC's and laptops. Exact same problem. This seemed to have been the case with their previous verson of their above package (July) as well and I then decided to download the August version hoping the problem would be resolved. I also tried the flash in a virtual machine and had the some problem although when I used the ISO as a mounted CD Drive in the virual machine directly, it installed with no problems. It seems to be a problem only when the ISO is flashed to a USB drive. The machines I am installing to do not have optical drives at all. I do not know when last I burned a ISO do an actual optical disc. I could do that and use an external drive but I really would not want to have to do that.
Anybody else ecounter a similar situation and have any advice to offer?
