  1. Reinstall Win 10 on HP laptop from USB stick taking several days?


    Greetings,

    Win 10 was working fine on my HP EliteBook 2170p until the major windows update 2 January 2019. Since then, Windows would never fully re-boot.
    I tried Windows repair a few times - it would never complete and gave an error report.
    I tried to 'undue latest upgrade' - it would never complete and gave an error report.

    Eventually I have tried to repair while booting from a Win 10 USB stick. Repair similarly failed.

    Latest effort is to install anew from the USB stick.
    It took a few days to download and start.
    Eventually in went through installing features, eventually partially rebooting and installing updates.
    for the last two days I have been gazing at the dark screen, little windows icon in middle and below spinning wheel and 'Getting ready'.

    Should I keep waiting?
    It did take a day or so of no visible progress to actually start installing after preparing.

    I believe in is installing on a hard drive partition with 200 to 300 GB free before start.

    Suggestions? Many thanks!

    :)

  2. Can't reinstall Windows 10 from a USB stick

    I am having problems reinstalling Windows 10 on my HP Pavilion laptop, I have downloaded the Media Creation Tool and the laptop BIOS has been adjusted to place USB sticks at the top of the list. However after I insert the memory stick and power up not a
    lot happens. The HP logo appears; shortly afterwards I get the revolving dots for about 30 seconds then everything vanishes and I am left with just a backlit screen. The hard drive light remains lit continuously.

    Any suggestions welcomed.

    Thanks

  3. 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
