Hi Sibro,
I just tried with the Home edition only, extracted from the original MS multi-edition ISO.
Used a fully compliant Desktop DELL XPS 8940, booted from the USB and did the same sequence that I tried before, it crashed with the BSOD exactly the same way as the Pro edition. As I try to select a key in the registry it just crashes with the same BSOD as reported earlier.
I also saw a different case getting the same BSOD every time just trying to scroll on the selection for the drive where to install windows.
Note that in my case I can always reproduce the BSOD if I attempt to modify the registry after Shift + F10 and "regedit".
If I just follow the normal install procedure it proceeds normally to completion with either Home or Pro and no errors at all.
That could be the reason why MS did not catch the problem. It seems to require some unusual conditions to hit the bug.
For Johnny and yourself, VM seems to be the variable, in my case it is just the editing of the registry or scrolling on the selection for the drive, but the end result is the same BSOD. ππ€·ββοΈ
I was not expecting a different result with Home versus Pro at this stage, given that is not even installed yet.
The screwup must be in the common setup regardless of which edition I try to install. π
Here is the other case, I mentioned above, I get the BSOD reproduced consistently just trying to scroll to select the drive partition where to install.
Note that if I select the drive partition directly without scrolling, the bug does not happen, and I can go on formatting and installing. π€£
You may not even have the scroll bar in your system if you don't have many disks with multiple partitions. π€·ββοΈ
