Windows 10: Windows reinstallation

Hello, I am trying to reinstall windows 10 on my little brothers laptop (Acer N15Q1) which wouldnt boot windows.

I downloaded windows iso on a desktop, used Rufus which converted file to a flashdrive using FAT32 format.

Installation started. I deleted all partitions as i dont need the files. I pressed next on the only unallocated partition.

It got stuck on copying files for half an hour. So I cancelled install. It said it was cancelled but had the hourglass cursor on for a while. So what i did was turn the comp off, take out flashdrive.

I, maybe foolishly, converted the file on Rufus again to NTFS. The file i thought was originally 5gb, but it showed 3.99gb. I did it anyways, booted laptop again, install wont boot.

Changed it back to FAT32 and reused rufus, it didnt work.

Did I brick my comp? Settings are the same. It is a UEFI and secure boot is off, as well as USB FDD and HDD at the top of the list.

Someone please help! Much appreciated

:)

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

Reinstall Windows?

You don't need to reinstall windows. Go to the device manager and remove uninstall the processor and motherboard drivers listed. When you start the system back up you should be able to re-install the new ones. I just changed my mobo/processor Friday, everything is fine.

BTW I have seen some reviews that state practically no difference in using more than 2gb of ram.
