Windows 10: Automatic Repair

Hi


I'm a Windows Insider and so have that version of Windows 10 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. A few days ago when booting up my laptop I noted that the screen said "Windows is performing automatic repair". The screen then went grey and stayed grey. I left it for as long as 3 hours but nothing happened and I had to force a shutdown.


Obviously my hard drive has become corrupted so I guess I have to reinstall Windows 10 but my version is the Insider version and I don't seem to be able to find this version anywhere on your site.


What should I do now?

:)
