Windows 10: Problem after trying to reinstall Win 10 on Microsoft Surface Pro 4

Hi all,

I have tried to reinstall Windows 10 on Microsoft Surface Pro 4 but when it gets to Getting finished near the end I get a dialog box saying Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.

I then try the following:

1. Boot into your recovery USB and go to the CMD
2. type "diskpart" then "list disk"
3. select the internal drive: "select disk 0"
4. list volumes: "list vol" and select the boot volume (should be ~260MB): "select vol 1"
5. Then assign a drive letter to the partition: "assign letter=b:" 6.exit disk partition and "cd /d b:EFI\Microsoft\Boot"
6. run "bootrec /fixboot"
7. rename the BCD file "ren BCD BCD.bak"
8. recreate the BCD store: "bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-gb /s b: /f ALL
9. Reboot

When I get to step 6 I always get an Access is denied error.

Please advise how to resolve issue

I am using a Windows Surface Pro 4.

It should not be so complicated.

Thank you for all help.

Surface Pro 4

That's a strange one Shawn....clicking on your link shows them listed on my reply post and that I had already installed them.

Why they should want reinstalling I have no idea.

What is the best power supply for Microsoft Surface Pro 4


I am wondering what is the best power supply to purchase for Microsoft Surface Pro 4 to carry around in case I need to recharge it.

The power supply that came with Microsoft Surface Pro 4 will be staying at home.

Thank you for all suggestions.
