HP laptop, Windows 10 unable to boot
Last week, I was having problems. I ran System Restore, but it failed. Without warning, no boot. Finally it showed the error msg. collecting data to send to MS and will reboot. It then tried the Automatic Repair which also failed. and that is what happens now. I have tried all dates for System Restore, but all have failed. I thought my hard drive was failing, and was able to get into a test program and the HD checked OK. I have been looking for a way to start in Safe Mode, but all on line advice showed starting from within Windows. I really would like to make progress without having to do a clean windows install. Any help with this problem would be very welcome. Thanks
