WIN10. Failed recovery stick. Failed reinstallation stick. DVD worked.
Windows 10 failed and would not boot. Booted USB recovery drive. About halfway through recovery process it failed--message was something like "could not reset your PC." I had to reinstall WIN 10 using DVD with downloaded (from an another PC of course) install file from Microsoft using media creation tool. First attempt at reinstall used a USB stick with downloaded install file--but it kept recycling to first screen to reinstall--it could not complete. Out of desperation I downloaded the install file (on another PC of course) and created a bootable DVD. The DVD worked. What a relief! I am glad I have an optical drive.
Questions: How to create a recovery stick that will work in a non booting crisis.
How to reinstall Win 10 with a stick containing installation file (my stick kept recycling to the first screen try after try
after try).
Thank you for helping me. (My stress level was intense during the above process).
