Win 10 boot up issues several different PC's
Well, new here. Upgraded all of my PC's recently to Win 10. All ran well for a time. All except this (laptop) have now failed.
Most act like a bad HDD. The last one I just upgraded the other night, loaded all my software, started to use it, all fine. several days later (system left on around the clock) it gave a message saying there was an issue with the HDD. I rest and carried on, no issues. a day later it blanked out on its own while I was working on this laptop both were home grouped through the same net connection. the pc reset and said it was repairing itself, stayed at 76% for some time, than rebooted but as it did it would show the old XP pro win pic briefly and than blank out. than it would come up with the recovery screen. normal setup, safe/with/without... but no matter which I try it just loops back to the same. I tried to make a usb boot stick but it does not even see the usb apparently. So I guess I need help in salvaging this one first before moving on to the others. I'm not a programmer, but very familiar with hardware though this newer stuff is getting away from me.
System is a 64k Dell OptiPlex 960 intel core 2 vppro with 8gb ram 2T Win drive. was XP Pro upgraded to Win 8.1 pro, upgraded to win 10 pro.
Would appreciate help with this mess. Thank you Obie Wans out there!! Your my only hope!
