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

 

My laptop stuck at the "just a moment" screen

Hi,

This issue has been looked at via another thread found here:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

I copied and pasted some troubleshooting from the individual that did solve this:

If the laptop is stuck on the ' Just a Moment' screen, unplug any USB devices, especially a wireless mouse or keyboard.

Press and hold the Power Button to perform a Hard Shut Down. Then Start the laptop again, it will now hopefully finish the install.

If that does not work, you say you have a Windows 10 installation USB, is this bootable media. If it is, insert it into a USB slot, go into your BIOS and change the boot order so the USB Flash drive appears at the top of the list, save changes to the BIOS settings
and reboot. Your laptop should then boot from the Flash Drive and install a clean copy of Windows 10.

To get into your BIOS look at the screen immediately as your laptop starts, there will be text like ' press F2 to enter setup', the key might also be Esc or Del

NOTE: During the Windows installation, your laptop will reboot, at this point you must go into your BIOS and change the boot order back, so your hard drive is top of the list, otherwise the installation will start over . . .

I Hope this Helps!

 

Is it time for Windows 10 already?

Here's a good step by step guide on doing a fresh install.
