I was installing Windows 10 onto a brand new SSD the other day and it was stuck at the 'Copying Windows Files'
Many posts on the internet were talking about waiting or checking disk or trying a DVD installation disk rather than a USB installtion stick. None of these seemed right to me. I decided to check the BIOS settings and this is where I found the solution.
Dec 19, 2017 Hi, I have a dead laptop that I thought I would install a clean copy of Windows 10 on. Created a bootable USB, plugged in and booted to CSM mode to not get a 'GPT PArtition Table Error'. The partition I want to install on shows 34GB free space out of 119GB. I clicked Next, and now it is stuck on. A good file copy program, not only can help you speed up the file transfer process, but you can also get other advantages like improved information, queuing copies, pausing, skipping, and working with problematic files far better than what the default Windows Explorer does. That’s is the reason, why you should need a third-party high-speed file transfer software.
The solution
Given that I have done this hundreds of times before I was confused as to what was confusing the problem. I found the problem to be caused by a security setting in the BIOS. As soon as I reset the security keys Windows 10 reinstalled fine. Under Key Management I restored factory defaults.

This File Transfer Time Calculator is used to determine the approximate time that a file would take to transfer over a particular interface . The speeds are optimistic because the actual inferface will be slowed down by overhead (ex: requests for the information, syncs, ...), more than one transfer at a time, and the interface not performing at the standard speed.
View the time given as a realistic minimum of the amount of time a file will take to transfer.

*2 USB Speeds can varry with a variety of factors (cable length/other interfaces connected/hubs/...) so you might be better off selecting the slowest interface in your chain. For example, if you have a SATA II drive connected to a USB3.2 interface, the SATA II interface is slower and will determine the maximum speed possible.
