Windows 10: Windows 10 New Computer - Reset - Stuck in Loop

Hello,

I've searched dozens of posts about the "reset loop" problem but most seem to involve upgraded computers and none exactly describe my situation. I would appreciate any help you could provide.

Computer - HP Envy x360 Laptop, i5 processor, 8gb ram, onboard video, not sure about motherboard, Windows 10 OS

1. Bought computer this week. Turned on and set up fine and called it a night.

2. It auto-installed updates on Tuesday night.

3. This morning running very buggy and erratic. After a few hours of messing with it I used the "factory reset" option where it wipes everything and gives you a fresh windows 10.

4. It was resetting for a few hours then I received message "error resetting your computer" and the only button was "cancel" which I hit. It then turned off.

5. I turned it on after a few minutes and it loads the HP logo splash screen, holds for a few seconds then go black and do it all over again. It just repeats this over and over again.

Notes:

1. I don't have recovery media as it's a new computer and I haven't had time to create it yet (it had nothing loaded on it).

2. My other computer is Windows 7 and I have no plans to upgrade it as I use it for work and my VPN requires 7 or 8.1.

3. I have been able to access the BIOS (F10) screen if needed.

Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this short of returning it and getting a new one? I'm sure this is just some kind of software glitch and I hate to have to return it and deal with Best Buy on Christmas week. I've read there is downloadable media available from Microsoft to create a boot USB but I don't know where to find this and if this would even work nor do I know the steps to take to run it.

Help please! Thank you.

HP Laptop Windows 10 reset to factory default

I have an HP Laptop with Windows 10. I reset the computer to factory default. It is stuck at 64% installing windows. It is one continuous loop and it will not move. Please provide instructions on how to fix.

 

You should be able to download a Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft using your Windows 7 computer.
This would give you the option of either repairing your W10 computer or a complete clean installation.

 

I will give it a shot I'm creating the USB drive now and will post on my success (hopefully) or failure (I hope not) when completed. Thanks for the prompt response!
