My sister's computer was acting up because of outdated admin software that couldn't be uninstalled. So, I decided to reformat the drive completely and create a USB stick to reinstall Windows. However, the installation failed and now it's stuck midway. Each time I restart, it goes back to the same installation screen and I don't know how to fix this to try installing again. If anyone has suggestions on how to get past this, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks 🙂

You might want to check the boot order in the BIOS. Make sure the SSD is set to boot instead of the USB drive. Here's a guide on how to do that: [enter BIOS instructions](https://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2025/08/how-to-enter-bios.html). It’s usually straightforward, but there could be other issues too if that doesn’t work out.
Thanks for the tip! I did change the boot order already. Do you have any other ideas?
