EHi everyone,
This is the n-th time I'm attempting a Windows 8.1 install to no avail. The computer in question is the HP All-in-one 20-040d (originally shipped with Windows 10 Creators Update, wiped it for Linux, now trying to get 8.1 working).
The steps I did are:
1. Download a Windows 8.1 ISO from Microsoft: Download Windows 8.1 Disc Image (ISO File) (I downloaded the English Windows 8.1 x64 ISO thrice, using FCIV from Microsoft gives me the same MD5 hash for all three ISOs)
2. Used Rufus to make the bootable USB disk (all are done on the same USB drive)
3. Plugged into the All-in-one, press F9 to interrupt boot and select boot device, selected the USB disk as per usual (BIOS/UEFI Secure Boot is off, TPM is visible)
4. Selected language as per downloaded ISO (English (United States))
5. Clicked Install Now, Setup prompts me to enter a key, and I promptly did so, and hit next. A EULA for Windows 8.1 Pro came up (presumably because my key is for Windows 8.1 Pro). I accepted it of course.
6. Completely deleted any partitions on the Hard disk, and clicked New, and Apply. Selected the Primary partition and clicked Next.
7. Setup begins the installation. Copying Windows files went by quickly (it was just 0% and done (tick next to it)). Getting files ready for installation got to around 30-50% and aborted with error code 0x80070570 every time.
Note that the same USB drive was used to successfully install Ubuntu before, and hasn't been in use since. If I used the Media Creation Tool for Windows 10, it would create a Windows 10 USB installer fine, but right after clicking Install Now, it would give me 'A media driver for a device is missing, blah blah...', while Windows 8.1 setup never threw that error, yet it would fail as mentioned above (a.k.a the 'media driver' is in the 8.1 image and not the 10 image?)
