Windows 10: Dell P66F001 Stuck Loading Windows

A friend had given me a Dell P66F001 laptop to repair. It belongs to his teenage son who uses it for school. It tries to boot into windows from the HD but gets stuck on the Dell Logo trying to load windows with a turning circle. My guess is that it happened after some kind of an update. I could not get into windows or windows tools from the HD so I booted from a Win 10 installation usb to get into advanced options and Windows repair tools. Here is what I have done so far. 1- I tried startup repair but it failed 2- I used system restore but both restore points failed 3- I ran command prompt sfc /scannow but it failed to run properly 4- I ran chkdsk but it failed to run properly 5- I tried to do an upgrade repair install from the USB to keep files and settings but i got a message that that this can only be done from within windows. The problem is I can't boot into win 10 from the HD. 6- I removed the HD and tested the drive on another machine and did a disk check and defrag and it appears to be working fine. In the BIOS have the option to revert to the factory shipping condition. I could also do a clean Win 10 install. The problem is that would remove all apps and personal files which is not what I want to do. I would like to either get Win 10 to boot, or try an upgrade repair install that keeps files and apps. The problem is I can't get into Windows to do the install to keep files and apps. Your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. Kind regards Chris

Windows 10 stuck in loading screen with spinning dots

Hi,

Windows 10 is stuck in loading screen. Here are the things that happened before it became like that:

• I noticed that my Dell laptop is lagging so much even after restart so I checked the Task Manager and noticed that the Disk is at 100%.
  
• Found out that Avast premiere is causing the Disk to be at 100% so I End Task it
• Triggered CHKDSK upon startup in order to check if Disk is fine.
• Upon startup Check Disk ran but it is stuck at 12% even after almost 2 hours of waiting. So need to hard reboot. This persisted around 3 times
• Upon reboot Dell Diagnostics automatically kicked in since it detected that the system was not shut down properly. Result is that no problems found.
• After Dell Diagnostics, the system rebooted and now is stuck to the loading screen with the spinning dots.

Solutions that I tried:

• Used Media Installation Tool to do Startup repair. But result is that the Automatic startup repair cannot resolve the issue.
• Performed system restore to earlier date. The restore was successful but I am still stuck at the loading screen with spinning dots upon reboot.
• Startup Settings does not show in the Troubleshoot menu so activated the F8 to trigger safe mode. Upon selection of Safemode with network the system reboots and gets stuck in Dell logo screen.

Please advise. If possible I want to avoid losing my files.

Thanks!
