Error message coming up when trying to install Windows 10 Pro on server box looking for driver?

I have Proliant ML310e Gen8 V2 server running Server 2008 R2 standard.   I want to run Windows 10 on it.  While booting to Windows 10 it stopped and said it was missing a media driver.   The computer has four drives in a raid array.  Could the driver that is missing after I hit "Install Now" on Windows 10 be for the raid array?  Any ideas?

Normally you don't install a desktop OS on a server.  If you look at the site for that specific server, you'll see there's no drivers for Windows 10:

My recommendation would be to install Hyper-V through Server Manager > Features and Roles, create a VM and install Windows 10 on the VM.

The media driver error is usually caused by two possible errors: the raid controller needs driver or your install usb stick must be created new.
first you have to download the driver and put it on a usb stick and use f5 to install the driver
