I haven't been asking in a while, but I accidentally deleted (yes, formatted) my windows 10 partition. I only have my Linux Mint 18 ext4 partition, so I tried writing a windows 10 official ISO to my USB using UnetBootIn. It works boots fine, and I see the spinning loading icon. However, as it goes into install, nothing happens. It just sits at the dark-purple background and just stalls. I can open up CMD using shift-F10, and I can run setup manually, but then there are now two setup.exe and stalls at "setup is starting". The mouse also changes into the hourglass. I urgently need help, as many of my school programs can't run on wine.

What was the native version of Windows? Install that? Is there a recovery partition? " Free upgrade ended. – Tony Stewart Sunnyskyguy EE75 – 2016-11-11T21:02:30.047
@TonyStewart Free upgrade has what to do with installing Windows 10? – Ramhound – 2016-11-11T21:45:25.607

No recovery, microsoft (non-oem) iso | https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO | and I didn't get a native OS CD with my P34WV3.

What was the native version of Windows? Install that? Is there a recovery partition? Did you try this? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
– Tony Stewart Sunnyskyguy EE75 – 2016-11-12T00:55:54.610If anyone could respond, it would be very helpful. More information: the native version is Windows 10, no recovery, and yes, I used your exact link. – potatoman – 2016-11-13T08:29:57.773
