Since some USB driver problems may cause error code 0x8007025D, you can first try to remove all external storage devices connected to the computer, and then check whether the Windows installation continues.

2. Adjust the size of the installation partition

When installing the Windows 10 system, about 20GB of installation space is required, so it is enough to ensure that the total installation disk space is 125GB. You can format the installation partition or adjust the disk space through some function buttons below the “Where do you want to install Windows?” interface. Formatting the installation partition before installing Windows helps to solve the problem of installation failure caused by disk bad sectors.

After the above operations are completed, check again to see if the problem is resolved.
