Windows 10: Install Windows 10 without losing data

Hello there,


on friday our customers laptop Asus, Windows 10 couldn't start properly. That was the error message. After a few restarts it booted into the uefi directly. But we can't wipe the device and do a fresh install, because there's data that need to be recovered. So what we tried so far:

1. Disabled Fast Startup
2. Tried to access Windows Recovery Environment unsuccessful
3. Created a bootable USB flash drive using the Media Creation Tool:
   1. Booted the flash drive and tried every recovery option, nothing worked
   2. Tried to reinstall Windows on the same drive as the broken WIndows, then we got the error "on efi systems windows can only be installed to gpt disks"

So I said that he shouldn't have that much hope to recover his files. Is there anything else we can do?


Thanks in advance!

:)

Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
