Windows 10: Windows 10 usb media creation tool black screen

Hi Windows Community! Student here, I've run into some issues with my Dell Inspiron. So what I suspect happened is that my home experienced a power surge while my laptop was on charge and updating so my os got corrupted. Something like this has happened before and I managed to resolve it by reinstalling windows through the use of windows media creation tool on a USB device. I've taken it to an expert to get a quote and diagnosis and all he said was that my software is destroyed how vague? and that it would be $160 to repair but that is way out of my budget right now so any advice or help wou

:)

 

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 Media Creation Tool to black screen

Hi there,

I wanted to install windows 10 on a second PC and so I decided to download the Media Creation Tool to get a working installer on a USB stick. Problem is, whenever I double click on said tool the PC goes black screen and restarts by itself. I have only one
account on the PC (so I'm running as admin), also I tried to manually run the program as admin but it didn't work.

Any clue why the Media Cretion Tool is causing my pc to restart and how to solve this? Cause I'd love to buy that second Win 10 license but only if I can actually install it.
