Windows 10: Using the Windows 10 reset USB to repair a malfunctioning Windows 10

Last Monday, I left the house with my brand new Dell laptop turned on in the living room. When I returned everything seemed okay, but when I put in the pass word. the circle of dots just kept going round and round with nothing else happening. It did clear and show me the dessktop.

I realized when i looked at a clock (with no backup battery) that during the day when I was gone there had been a power outage. So apparently the the laptop just shut down with no shutdown command sent when the power.

That is not good. Anyway after trying several more times with putting in the pass word, I got nothing except the circle of dots going round and roud.

Now it will not even give me the password window. I get nothing when I press conrtl, alt, del.

I have a Windows 10 rescue disk, but I do not know what to do with it in this case.

Please explain.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,



:)

 

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
