    Win10 broke down and i tried to reinstall it but i screwed things up


    Alright so my laptop gave up on life a week ago. I can't get into win10 due to a failure of system32, i don't know how it happened.
    I got a win10 usb ready for my laptop and tried to install it, said install but after the restart it got in a loop of installing windows again and again.
    This probably happened because i changed the boot order so it started the usb first.
    After i put all the boot menu options back to normal i got the error that my windload.efi was missing.
    Formatted my entire drive and installled windows again, this time my bcd file wasn't correct or some stuff.
    I tried all the repair options in the install windows screen but nothing helped.
    I am currently NOT on secure boot and now my laptop won't even load in the win10 installation wizard anymore.

    Laptop brand: Acer
    Laptop: Acer Aspire V nitro
    Specs: Core i5 4210-H, 16gb ddr3, gtx 860M, 1 tera HDD, 1080p screen.
    Using a 16gb usb
    Drive is currently gpt

    So... what do i do...?
    Thank you in advance

    :)

    N8 Broke Bottom Right

    Mine broke the exact same way, after 18 months. Has anyone figured out a way to fix it themselves? Will screwing the mini screw tighter work? Any other suggestions? Super glue is not an option.

    Aside from OS reinstall, your suggestion is one of the only steps I haven't taken yet.

    Thanks everyone

    Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

    When in win10:
    • Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....
    Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
    - Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
