Windows 10: Windows 10 on Beelink GK35 Booting to BIOS

Hi, i have a MiniPC that went down recently- it's constantly rebooting to BIOS over and over. I have tried everything online.- I have made an installation USB to reinstall Windows- when installing I get the; "We couldn’t find any drives. To find the storage driver, click Load driver." error- I have downloaded the GK35 drivers from Beelink- when trying to load them I unzipped the driver file first it says "no drivers"- I have tried the basic "Repair windows" option- said it could do nothing- I have tried uninstalling the latest Windows update via recovery- says it can't- I have tried DISM Onl

Beelink & Gearbest: AVOID

Public Service Announcement

Beelink

• Windows preinstalled is pirated.
• The connectors are clearly flimsy.
• If you clean install Windows:
  • They don't host drivers on their website. They provide Mega.nz links if you dig for them on their forum.
  • One of the installers in there errors and doesn't work. Oh, yes, it is for the Broadcom 802.11abgn SDIO wireless NIC. In other words, very important, and very not working.
  • I tried my best to get stuff updated but there's probably 6-8 devices in device manager that have problems with drivers or is missing drivers and this is after trying to the stuff from Mega.nz.
  • Of course Windows still isn't activated because it doesn't have a Windows COA to activate it.
• Powering it off improperly, it refused to give video signal until it was unplugged for several minutes.
• The side USB2 ports are extremely tight fitting.
• There's something loose in the box itself that rattles when shaken.
• To power off the device, have to hold the power button for 9-10 seconds which is ridiculously long.
• The BIOS are extremely minimalist. Pretty much just boot order and time.
• It loses time like mad--several minutes per hour likely.

Gearbest

• Everything is on a perpetual sale.
• Credit card didn't work. Had to place an order on my credit card via PayPal.
• Device took 28 days to arrive (shipped directly from China).
• It took about 10 days for them to get me a new Windows key when I told them the one they gave me was pirated. That "new" key was also pirated.
• They don't do full refunds unless you ship the product back to them.
• Chat support doesn't know the return address. Email support does and the damn thing looks like a paragraph.
• UPS estimated $122.27 USD to return it to them using the cheapest option. I paid less than $90 for it.
• Their default refund is in "Gearbest points" which, yeah, fuck them.
• I ultimately got a $10 refund on my PayPal account.

Combined: I'd have to put $100 into the device for legitimate Windows. I paid $90 for it. The device is effectively totaled (costs more to repair than it is worth). On top of that, it would cost me more to get a refund than the refund is worth. It's literally totaled twice: once from the manufacturer (Beelink) and once from the retailer (Gearbest).

Don't do business with either of these people!

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
