New laptop without OS

[Carlosnino]

Hi everyone!

My sister just got a new Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Gen 6 laptop but she did not notice she was buying it without an OS.
I tried to make a bootable installation pendrive from my Mac but the installation fails when I have to choose the partition where the OS has to be installed.
The error is something like this (translated from spanish in Google):
"Windows Setup encountered an unexpected error. Check if the installation sources are accessible, and then restart the installation. Error code: 0xc0000005"

Any ideas why this is happening?

Cheers!

You need to use the Windows Media Creation Tool to make a bootable USB stick containing the latest Windows installation files. I'm not at all certain that the tool will run on a MAC....

I searched for it but it always takes me to Boot Camp Assist and that goes beyond my computer knowledge. I created bootable pendrive following these instructions:

Most new PCs don't come with DVD drives anymore. So it can be a pain to install Windows on a new computer. Luckily, Microsoft makes a tool that you can use to install Windows from a USB storage drive (or "thumbdrive" as they are often called). But what if you

The Downloaded os (using the media creation tool) will format and make its own partition.

Ok, so I finally installed the Parallels Desktop trial and created the bootable installation pendrive from there. I do not know what changed but it worked perfectly.
THANK YOU very much for your help guys

The MCT process reformats a USB Thumb/pen drive as FAT32 which is bootable on the newer UEFI machines and starts the process in creating necessary partitions on the internal drive then installs Windows.
