I’ve been working on this for four days. I cant’ get Windows ten to install properly. I keep getting when I boot to secure UEFI, firmaware not signed error.
When I use to RUFUS I get no error at all and it goes right to the proper screen. What’s going on? Also the program constantly freezes on start.
Linux Mint 17.2 doesn’t seem to work. Any Idea’s?
What exactly doesn’t work? What are you doing and what’s the result?

Please add support Windows 10 build 10.0.10586.0.TH2. I create a bootable USB flash drive using a version WinSetupFromUSB 1.6-beta2. If you install an error “Could not mount the virtual disk. Cannot continue, press OK to reboot.”
