How to Fix “Windows Setup Could Not Configure Windows to Run on This Computer’s Hardware”

When encountering the “Windows Setup Could Not Configure Windows to Run on This Computer’s Hardware” error during Windows installation, it is typically caused by hardware compatibility issues or system configuration problems.

At the error screen, press Shift + F10 to open the Command Prompt, then execute the following command to create a new user and activate it:

1
2
3
net user 新用户名 /add
net user 新用户名 /active
net localgroup administrators 新用户名 /add

Next, type regedit to open the Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/setup, and set all non-zero key values to 0.

Restart your computer to proceed with the installation steps.

Please note that after performing the above operations, the installation will not enter the OOBE interface. Instead, it will remain on the Windows logo with a spinning circle for an extended period.

Be patient and wait for this step to complete, after which you will be taken directly to the desktop.
