I just want to say that the "valid Windows installation media not detected" error message in EasyBCD usually occurs when EasyBCD is unable to detect a valid Windows installation on your system. This can happen due to various reasons, such as corrupted system files, a faulty hard drive, or outdated system drivers.

Here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:

  1. Ensure that your Windows installation media is connected and properly recognized by your computer. If you're using a USB drive, make sure that it's properly inserted into a USB port and that the computer recognizes it.
