Windows 10: Installing Windows 10, trapped in boot loop

Hi there,


I had finally decided to update my PC from windows 7 to windows 10. All seemed well when I left windows 10 to install overnight, but when I woke up my computer was on the ASUS EUFI BIOS Utility screen. I restarted, but was sent once again to the BIOS utility screen. I've tried force booting from both my hard drives, but no matter what I'm sent back to the BIOS utility screen.


So far I've tried:

- Long pressing power button on startup 3 times to enter recovery mode, but all that happened was a vague message telling me windows was trying to repair, then it restarted and I was back to square one

- Turning off Fast Boot and Secure Boot

- Creating a bootable USB to install windows 10 from, but when I try to do a clean install it's giving me error 0x8007000d and claiming e:\sources\install.wim is missing or corrupted (I checked the hard drive and it is there). After this error appeared I was able to enter a Troubleshoot - Advanced Options menu, but none of the options work and I seem to be missing the "reset this PC" button.


I don't know what to do.


Best,

Jen

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

windows 10 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
