I've been trying to install Windows from a fresh USB for the past two days, but I keep hitting a brick wall with the error code 0x0000000e. I've followed all the tutorials to the letter, changed disk partitions, and I've even wiped and re-scrambled my NVMe multiple times—all with no success. It's incredibly frustrating to set everything up with new hardware and software, yet still face this issue. Can someone help me understand what might be going wrong?

To truly help you, I'll need your detailed specs—like your motherboard, CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage drives. The error message suggests there's an issue with the Windows BCD or boot system. Ensure your BIOS is up-to-date, disable CSM, and check that the first boot device is set to your SSD. If Windows installation keeps failing, consider testing with Ubuntu to see if your hardware works correctly with that OS.
It sounds like your system might not be properly detecting the drive or boot files. First, make sure to check your BIOS settings. Reseating the components can sometimes help too. You might also want to try these commands in the recovery console: bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /fixboot, bootrec /scanos, and bootrec /rebuildbcd. That may resolve the issue, but it's tricky to diagnose without more details.
I was in the same boat as you, and I really appreciate the guidance. I followed the tips about my specs and made changes in the BIOS settings. I'm happy to report that it worked! Thanks for the help, everyone!
