Hey so ive been getting issues when trying to install windows 10 on a built pc I bought from someone after it kept crashing once in awhile. He was using a cracked version of windows.

Second error

Windows installation encountered a problem and could not restore your previous version of Windows. For more information, see the Windows installation log files.

Third error

Windows Setup

Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0800701 B1

Could someone please help me, as of now I dont have any operating system on this because I watched a video and it said delete the old files to be able to get past a step I could get done and it worked but now im having this problem, it stops on 90% and gives me these messages

Just to get some clarity:

You purchased a PC with cracked windows and it was having some issues so you decided to reinstall windows. Correct?

When you say you deleted all old files, is this just windows files or is it literally everything that was there?

Just download the tool direct from Microsoft and once asked, select the option of you don't have the key. Microsoft couldn't give a hoots about licences anymore

Win 10 Download tool

If you didn't format the drive while deleting the files, perhaps formatting it and then installing could work? You should be able to format the drive from the windows installer. Once a list of drives pops up it should offer the option to format. This will wipe everything on the drive, but could be a good option.

How many drives are on the PC? Just the one you are trying to install windows onto or others as well?
