Dragon Center bios update no boot

You probably should have started a new thread.

I'm not much of a troubleshooter, but your error message looks more like a Windows problem than anything BIOS related.

A possible fix: Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

Thank you for the help, I cannot get into windows though, so this doesn’t help unfortunately.

You can check your firmware rev in Device Manager, Firmware, System Firmware. Look at the Device ID.

I have never done a firmware update that failed and reverted to the previous version, but I don't know that never happens.

The firmware version listed in device manager is not that accurate. It should be checked with System Information instead. For example, my laptop:

Oops, sorry. I know better than that.

Maybe startup repair? Run Startup Repair in Windows 10

Have tried this one too already and it doesn’t do anything except return to the root menu. I’m giving up and send it to Geek Squad at Best Buy to look at. Thanks again. It’s sucks to be defeated :/.

All they are going to do is charge you lots of $$$ to do a clean install of Windows that you can do for free.

I've never personally tried Geek Squad, but I have read that is precisely what they do.

Also, they make no attempt at data preservation. Expect to lose everything on the drive.

I wouldn’t mind that since I can’t even install a clean windows myself and it will depend on what “lots” is exactly. I have a backup of all my data as well so not too worried if they can’t recover.

Why can't you do a clean install?

When attempting to do it, my USB with ISO is in USB 2.0, however it says missing media.

I can get to step 8 in the link you provided, but after clicking install, that’s when it says missing media.

If that is literally true, that isn't what you need. You need a USB drive with the contents of the ISO copied onto it.

For a non-UEFI PC, you'd also have to prepare the USB as bootable.
