    Unable to install Win10 - can't boot and have winload.efi error


    So, I had a working Win8.1Pro installation and, in preparation for a win10 install I created a new data partition and resized my C:drive. In the process I seem to have screwed up my windows partitions and now can't even boot. Even when trying to boot to the win10 install USB it just fails.

    I have tried to repair the winload.efi issue following the tutorials on here but still no joy.

    My current thoughts are that I can delete the 4 windows partitions and then that will allow the win10 USB install to work.

    Any other options?

    :)

    Which tool to recover the EFI partition? Booted into Rescue Disk

    That's not what they suggest here:

    Winload.EFI Error, is pretty much self explanatory by it’s name is an error that prevents windows from loading. This is usually caused by corrupt boot records or incorrect boot configuration. Depending on your Operating System, the error message may vary but the keyword winload.efi will be same. On a Windows 8/8.1/10 system, the error usually pops-up in the following form.
