Hi im having a issue with trying to install Windows 10 to my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet. I load the USB media stick through the bios and windows install starts then i get an error saying something like windows cant be installed through USB media please boot into windows and then choose recovery from the settings and choose boot from usb media. Well i tried that and it gives me the same error as stated above. I might want to add that my tablet all ready has windows 10 installed. Now the thing is i have reinstalled Windows 10 on my tablet three times before from USB and i never experienced this issue. Im started to think the windows 10 devs added that error it to the latest windows version. If anyone has any advice it would help me out a lot?

U have to delete the windows 10 that is already installed and repartition the HDD on the tablet. If the OS existed it won't let you reinstall without deleting the os and repartition it.
