Hi there. So I got a new ssd, and I installed windows on it through bootable usb.
When it finish installing , it rebooted once to the splash screen with "getting ready" then rebooted again to the same splash screen but its been loading for about 2 hours now.
I remember it didn't take that long to install windows 10.
Hope sifus can provide me with insight to this. Thanks.

Are you using UEFI or BIOS?
If UEFI, you need to prepare the Windows 10 installer using GPT formatted pendrive, not MBR

If you're using a laptop, state the exact model number
If you're using a desktop PC, state the motherboard model

I'm using UEFI. I just converted my ssd to gpt and testing it now. Do I have to format the usb as well? And also I'm using gigabyte h170 hd3. Not really familiar with its bios so not sure how to boot to legacy.

Clear everything and reinstall?

or

Your Windows 10 image corrupt

Ok I will try remaking the bootable device.
Update: I checked the srttrail.txt that logs the startup repair, and it says that it is unable to repair with the root cause of boot status indicates that the OS booted successfully.
Now I'm confused.

Thanks for all the replies. Was unable to get uefi working, so I booted legacy instead.
