    Can't restore computer to factory settings. Windows error: "Windows cannot proceed..."


    I attempted to restore computer to factory settings. It's now stuck in, "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows Click OK to restart the computer and then restart the installation."

    From my other PC, I created a flash drive with Windows creation tool and it didn't fix the problem. I tried several suggested options but still cannot get past the condition.

    What can I do to restore computer and begin Windows 10 installation?

    :)

  2. Windows XP PRO error after restore

    System restore is handy when it works like it did for me 2 days ago saving the need to reinstall all of my software as well as windows, id suggest using norton Ghost 12 for an excellent system restore feature.
