FIXED: Unable to clean install Windows 10 after BSOD and Boot Loop

Here's how I did it:

1. By using another PC or laptop, create a bootable USB by heading to the Microsoft Download Windows 10 page and click Download tool now.
2. Install Windows 10 using the bootable USB on your Z83-4. Set aside the USB as you will be needing that later.
3. Set up your Z83-4 using this version of Windows (never mind the driver versions or the lack thereof).
4. Once done, remove the previous versions of Windows to clear up space and remove corrupted files.
5. Shutdown your Z83-4.
6. On your other PC or laptop, download the Windows 10 Home OS image [1903] from the Official Firmware page.
7. Unzip and identify the folders that are similar both in this folder and the one in your USB.
8. Copy the similarly named folders from the unzipped OS image into your USB (Do not copy all of it, just the folders with the same names and its contents)
9. Insert your USB with the modified contents into the USB 3.0 port of your Z83-4.
10. Install the image from your bootable USB.

Hope this helps!

Where is the Windows image for the Z-83-4?

When you copy these folders, are you replacing all existing files with those in the 1903 build?
