How do I fix my Dell Inspiron laptop?
I feel frazzled and abandoned. Since downloading the Windows 10 update last week my laptop has been rendered completely useless. I can boot it up, sign into windows but in less than 3 minutes I receive the new equivalent of the blue screen of death and the thing reboots. To further complicate matters my other computer the desktop seems totally unable to carry the Media Creation Tool to its end. After download is complete when checking applications it gets to about 50% and fails noting only "Something Happened." I have been on hold for Microsoft support for nearly an hour and have yet to reach a live person.
I am completely unable to use my laptop. I have been unable to keep it on long enough to even begin to try to figure out a fix and I have been completely unable to reach a "Safe Mode" or create a boot disc to assist me in the problem. I have been trying nearly every day to figure this out. I have talked to 3 local technicians and the only hope they give me is to format the drive and reload Windows 7. I really would like to avoid that scenario. Can anyone offer me a ray of hope?
