Re: Installation hangs before first setup screen appears

I notice that the product key used can also cause failure, if you have
access to another product key try that. As Peter mentioned, it could be a
hardware issue, if you have external devices such as USB Printers, scanners
or external drives connected, remove them and reattempt the setup.
