Windows 10: Windows 10 boot error

Over Black Friday weekend, I decided to buy an ssd. I installed it and used a program called macrium reflect to clone my hdd to my ssd to get windows on the ssd and be able to boot from it. All went well as I had just restarted my pc on the hdd before the clone process. I was successfully able to boot my pc with the ssd but I wanted to be able to wipe my old hdd since I could free up a few gbs since I only needed the os on the ssd. I wiped it and restarted my pc only to find a blue screen. One that says “RECOVERY”, a required device isn’t connected or cannot be accessed. Press enter to try again, F1 to enter recovery environment etc. non of which work. I have tried to load an iso onto a usb drive but I cannot get my pc to boot from it as it just gets a black screen with a blinking white cursor on the top left of the screen.

Specs:
- Z390 aorus pro
- i5 9600k
- gtx 1060 6gb

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 slow boot

I was having a slow boot issue on my Windows 7 install a little while back. It would take about 30 - 40 extra seconds to boot up for whatever reason.

I would try following these steps, while this didn't solve my issue, it did increase Read/Write to where it should be.

In the end, I had to reinstall my Windows 7 entirely to fix the booting issue. It was taking around 35 seconds to boot, and after the fresh install it takes about 7 seconds to boot.
