* In my "time tests" - and just for my own curiosity my man, with an SSD, WIN10 installs in just under fifteen minutes. With the Web-cam connected - over forty minutes! Once the install was completed, I disconnected the cam, and performed another installation - just over twelve minutes. Interesting!
* By-the-way, I am using a script that does not check for driver updates during the installation process - as I prefer to install these myself. In a normal WIN10 installation, the driver updates are handled entirely during the installation process. This is reason why thee are varied installation times.
If your installing windows from a USB drive and you plug a slower USB device into a port connected to the same USB channel it will slow the entire channel down to the speed of the slowest device.
What you were experiencing was very likely that effect.
Your Install drive was a USB2 or USB3 device and the web cam was likely a USB1 device. Plugging in the CAM slowed the USB ports down to the USB1 speeds, making the install process really slow.
