Let’s check out these steps in detail.
1] Manually run msoobe.exe to finish the install
A possible resolution to this issue is to manually run the msoobe.exe program (which ensures the Microsoft Windows version is activated and registered properly) to allow the install to complete.
Here’s how to manually run the msoobe.exe program:
- While on the screen where the error appears, press Shift+F10 to bring up the command prompt.
- Type or copy and paste the command below (replace the x place-holder with the actual drive letter where Windows is installed and hit Enter.
CD x:\windows\system32\oobe
- Next, type the command below in succession and hit Enter.
msoobe
You may then be prompted to create an account name and password and set the time and date.
If this is a retail version of Windows 11/10, you may also be prompted to enter a product key for Windows 11/10. Enter the product key and click Finish.
The installation process should then be complete and allow the computer to boot into Windows.
2] Change some BIOS settings
There are certain settings in BIOS which work great for older versions of the Windows operating system but they display poor execution on Windows 11/10 and it can often cause this error to occur. In this case, do the following:
- Restart your computer and press a specific key to boot into BIOS.
- Locate the SATA option in BIOS. This item can be located under different tabs depending on different manufacturers, and usually, they can be the Advanced tab, Integrated Peripherals, etc.
- When you locate it, change it to IDE, RAID, ATA or AHCI and save the change. Note that even if it’s not SATA that is originally there, you can still change it to something else.
Pro tip: ATA is the most reasonable option for the process of installing new updates or upgrading.
Remember to change the settings back to their original state after you have finished with the process and installed Windows 11/10 successfully on your computer.
3] Stop overclocking your CPU
Overclocking is a process where you change the frequency and speed of your processor to a greater value and above the recommended factory settings. This can give your PC a significant speed advantage.
In this case, returning your CPU’s rate and frequency to its original state depends on which software you used to overclock in the first place.

You can check this by disconnecting or disabling various devices on your computer via Device Manager. After which you can restart the installation process and check to see when the error does not appear. If so, that device is causing problems.
Pro tip: It has been known that the hard disk drivers is usually the culprit here. So check that first.
You should see the following message when you choose the install option if you are really having problems with your drivers in the first place:
To continue installation, use the Load Driver option to install 32-bit and signed 64-bit drivers. Installing an unsigned 64-bit device driver is not supported and might result in an unusable windows installation.
This usually means that the driver for that specific device is not installing properly and you may need to load it manually. Here’s how:
- Download the driver for the problematic device from the manufacturer’s website.
- Save the driver to a USB flash drive or external hard drive.
- Connect the device to the computer which you are installing Windows on.
- Start the system installation, watch for Load Driver and click this option.
- Once the driver is loaded, proceed with the installation of Windows.
The process should be completed successfully.
