    HP ENVY - 13-aq0500sa cant install windows

    Any help appreciated. I am trying to install Windows 10 on this unit and I keep getting "PnP watchdog error while installing Windows 10". I have tried 3 different nvme and I managed to install Kali linux with no issues.

    I always try using an old build of Windows 10 (like 1803 for example, you can download that via Rufus). Later builds sometimes fail and the older stuff works.

    Other option is to create a factory installer via HP Cloud Recovery client. If it fails with that, then you have a hardware issue.
