This was, pardon my French, an utter Barstard.
3 days I slaved over this sodding machine.
3 EFFIN DAYS !!!
Gigabyte GA-B85M-DS3H motherboard
Intel Pentium Dual Core (G3258) 3.2GHz Processor 3MB L3 Cache
Win 10 OEM DVD would not install.
It would boot, the blue window would come up, then reboot.
I tried all sorts, every bios permutation i could think of.
I tried an SSD drive, sata drive, usb drive, legacy, achi, fervent prayer, voodooism etc etc.
I installed win 7, ( easy, straight forward), and tried an upgrade.
It got so far, then crashed out with 0xc1900101 - 0x20017 error
I tried gigabyte drivers, snappy drivers, i suspected duff usb3 drivers.
I was putting together a help request here, and was compiling info for my help plea when i found...

Basically, Win 10 doesn't like this chip.
Boring explanation omitted.
The "FIX" is to downgrade the number of cores down to 1 (in BIOS), install win 10.
Unfortunately, it has to stay that way for the time being.
(EDIT : Wrong. There is a workaround
Nicked from the link above. Respect to original poster........I just renamed C:\Windows\System32\mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll to C:\Windows\System32\mcupdate_GenuineIntel.dll.bak (and changed permissions to be able to do so- on this file only). And that's ALL I needed to do Win 10-side for my G3258 (aside obviously from setting OC again on all cores in BIOS).
)
If you change the number of cores back to "Auto" (2 in my dual core case), without changing that system32 file, it causes a "preparing automatic repair" loop.
The link above documents a file edit fix once win 10 is up and running.
Hay, it installed !!
PS. This is my daughters boyfriends machine, so the pressure was on.
These chips and boards are quite commonplace, hopes this helps someone.
Thank you and good night.
