[cross-post from MS Answers community as I doubt they will be able to help me there]
[Update: I just tested the Windows8.1 Iso: It works. This seems to be a bug with the Win10 Build]
Procedure:
Download ISO, put it on USB (tried both: dd and cp -r the contents). I booted using the UEFI boot.
- Disabling USB3 did not help.
- I have no CD/DVD-Drive, so this can't be the problem either.
- Last resort would be the SATA/AHCI ("F6") driver. I got the install disk and put the contents on another USB, the Windows installer finds the driver but it is NOT needed. Same thing goes for the driver I downloaded from the intel Website and for the one from the MB Vendor.
PC:
- Samsung 850 Evo SSD
- WD Green WD20EZRX
- AsRock B85M Pro4 with intel USB3.0 eXtensible Host (disabled for testing)
That's it for the relevant specs. I try to install Windows8.1 on it – currently downloading the iso from MSDevNet.
Is there a way to skip the error (media driver missing) screen – I mean, I cannot remove the USB stuff as suggested witout removing my MB, nor can I remove the inexisting CD/DVD-Drive 😉
It may not be a relevant driver (the installer gives no info on what driver is missing, sadly) so I might just ignore the issue.
(Update: Cancel does cancel the whole installation process.

The Build 10130 that you use is a bit old. You should try the latest Build 10162, which you can get from here.
