Windows 10 boot problem/choose your keyboard layout
Hello,
After upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 within the last week, everything was fine at first. Then this morning Everything on screen froze, and when I did a force restart, the following happened (and continues to happen ad nauseam):
Windows tries to boot as normal, but I get the BSOD saying Unmountable_Boot_Volume
It then restarts, saying it's going to repair the problem, only this time it flashes to a blue screen that says Chose Your Keyboard Layout. At this point I am unable to use either my mouse or keyboard. I've tried wireless, wired, all USB ports. Nothing. As I said, this goes on ad nauseam.
I don't have Windows 7 disc (came pre-loaded from the factory), and I don't have a Windows 10 disc or flash drive. The only other computer I have to help with this is an old laptop running XP. I downloaded the Media Creation Tool, but when I try and run it on my XP laptop it says it's not a valid win32 application, so making a flash drive boot seems out of the question.
I can't help but feel that I could solve the problem and roll back to Windows 7 if I could just boot in safe mode, but F8 doesn't work and I can't actually get anywhere else where I could set that up. So I could really use some help as far as what my options are at this point.
Thank you.
