Windows 10: Windows 10 not installing properly/not booting.

Hello. I previously had a Linux computer and wanted to replace it with Windows, since I need specific Windows programs that Linux unfortunately doesn't have. I have a USB with the Windows ISO burned on it, and I used this to install Windows on the laptop.


However, after I install Windows on the laptop, it says it 'needs to restart to finish installation.' I let it restart, however it gets stuck on a black screen permanently. I've tried waiting it out for over an hour and it still does not do anything. When I press the off button and boot the computer back on, it gets stuck on a loop of booting, showing the laptop's manufacturer Samsung, and then booting off. It keeps looping this until I turn it off again.


I've been trying to fix this for a day now and still have no success. I have tried cleaning the disks, and wiping everything, and rebooting, and it doesn't want to cooperate. My computer isn't letting me boot to the BIOS menu, so the only way I have of editing the computer is through the Administrator command prompt I can access this by booting through the USB with the Windows installation on it.


I really need help. Any advice is seriously appreciated.

My laptop is a Samsung, Intel Core i3.

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.
