Windows 10: try to repait existing win 10 with installation media via usb but when I click repair it...

My windows 10 did a recent update. After the update my office applications would not work. So I tried a restore to earlier version. After 3+ hours the restore was not complete...It was stuck. So I turned off the power to restart. Then windows would not boot it would try to fix the problem and end up at the blue recover screen. I tried troubleshoot, startup repair,system restore etc and they all failed. So i created a installation media on usb. When I boot from it the window setup screen comes up. I click on repair and it just goes back to the blue windows recovery page. So I went back to windows setup on the usb stick an clicked "install" . get the option for upgrade or custom. I clicked on upgrade, even though i don't need an upgrade, I'm trying to fix the current install. Compatibility reports says upgrade option isn't available. not sure what to do now.

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 repairing disk errors loop

Hi,

We appreciate you for trying the troubleshooting steps.

As the issue still persists, Isuggest you to repair your system using Windows 10 installation USB media and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps:

Since you have already created the installation media (USB), I would suggest you to get into BIOS and set the boot priority to USB. Manufacturer's set a certain key that enters BIOS setup when you start your computer. It is a different for every
manufacturer generally, the common key includes Esc, F10 and F12

Refer to the below link to create USB installation media for Windows 10.

Win.10 won't boot after installing Win.7

Hi,

So i installed Win.10 via the UEFI and after installing Win.7 on Legacy Mode onto a different HDD i can't boot into Win.10 (I believe can only because Win.10 was installed via UEFI)

I tried installing the BCD Software but nope. I even tried to select my HDD but say Winload.exe error

Even tried going into the USB and try repairing but the same thing happens
