Hi King Arthur, do you have bootable Windows 10 installation Media?

If not, you will need to download and create it as explained above!

 

Hi, try a clean reinstall. Activation should be automatic. However, I'm not sure how you manage with very restricted storage.

cant dont have a usb or dvd..

 

Then I suggest you buy one....

 

nah man I got the update for free from the launch is there anyway to fix this problem without doing a clean install? I checked my harddrive and the results are uhm lets say not so good

 

Hi, your drive is shot- so you need to replace it. Good thing you ran the test- for some reason I didn't mention it.

You can freely download Win 10. But you need something to put it on.

You also need external storage for backups. You do have backups, I hope?

We continually urge people to use disk imaging (which requires external storage) so they can quickly and easily restore their systems without significant loss of time or data.

Your only option is a clean install.

Please note forum rules prohibit 'bumping' and 'useless one-liners'.

 

ahh Didn't realize bumps weren't allowed my bad and I dont have any back ups or recovery disc so if i reinstall windows it will fix my hard drive problem? edit.. sorry I I read that wrong so I cant install windows 10 on my default HDD?

 

Nope-- if you even manage to succeed in installing Win 10, your PC may fail in any way at any time.

 

Alright so it seems my only option is to replace my Hard drive.. is it possible to install windows on an sdcard and if not should I just buy a new computer all together..? and I dont mind all my data being deleted

 

"cant dont have a usb or dvd.."

You never did say if you have file backups but if not and since your disk is failing but not entirely dead, I URGE you to buy an external usb drive, RIGHT NOW, big enough to backup your data (pictures, music, etc) which will be totally lost when the drive fails, which the SMART test critical result predicts could happen at any time.

 

An SD card is totally inappropriate and not designed for such a purpose. Further, it's a removable drive.

You could get a basic hard disk for- oh, £20 or less- 500Mb downwards.. you can probably do better. 1Tb for oh, less than £40.

Then you should have a disk for backups- say 2x the size of the data you're backing up if you keep multiple or incremental copies.

I use a 2Tb disk I got for about £55 for disk imaging my 256Gb SSD + 1Tb SSHD.

 

Consider backing up your files immediately in the cloud. Many are free or nominal cost. Then when you get your flash drive or HD or SSD drive you can move or restore the files.

 

Will my OS be deleted as well?
