    Welcome to TenForums.

    Your screenshots show you have GPT partitions. Go into the BIOS at start up and check that it is set for UEFI boot. If it has accidentally been switched to Legacy boot then you would get that black screen.

    First thing I would do is download this boot disk and copy your data off the drive.

    Windows can only be describe as finicky and your data is just too important to loose.

    Downloads - Win14393PESE-X64 - ToolsLib


    With your data off you will be in a position to do a clean install.

    Clean Install Windows 10

    should it come down to it.

    I am prepared to clean install right now!!!


    The obstacle, however, is that I only have the one (Unusable except for cmd)! Can you walk me through how I can clean install l?

    Sorry you have only one what, hope it is not PC.

    Do you have boot media from a relatively current version of Windows 10, say 1803/1809/1903

    Unfortunately, just the one (broken)) PC
    I had a recovery drive that got accidentally wiped by me ... I did make a backup copy of the files on the recovery drive ... currently stored in a folder on my phone .. my router accepts usb ... can I somehow use these files to recreate recovery drive?

    There maybe a method but I'm unaware.

    I know I'm pushing this but can you get a hold of a buddy and make boot media there?

    Do you have a library with PC's that are usable?

    Can I ask, were you dual booting?


    What kind of device is this?

    Do you have a library with PC's that are usable?(they have public access but No ability to dl/
    Burn anything )

    Can I ask, were you dual booting?
    (Negative)

    What kind of device is this?
    (The original recovery drive Those files were copied from was USB)
