The pc did not start correctly. Loop of Advanced Startup Options (ASO) is a centralized menu of recovery, repair, and troubleshooting.
Steps done:
1.repair from last configuration 02/01/2017 23:44:46
2.fixmbr from commandline
3.fix
4.Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
10.0.14393
From the command line you can also try:
1. sfc /scannow
2. chkdsk c: /f
So I copied the files away to USB.
None of the restart, reinstall deleting all files were succesfull. Therefore I downloaded windows 10 to USB.
Does anyone know in restart (cloud/command) where to find license. I was unsuccesfull with below 'not found'.
slmgr.vbs /dli
wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
powershell "(Get-WmiObject -query...
I tried F5-8 but not restarted in safe mode.
However F9-11 are able to select boot device etc.
Also the windows 10 usb is not selected. Fyi the aoi-srt "tool" usb was selected no problem. its a compaq 6710b. Boot v10.0.9
If you have successfully copied all your data files you are in a good position to do a clean install. As you already had W10 installed you do not need to put in a product key, just skip that step and when w10 is installed it will automatically update from the digital license stored by Microsoft and associated with your hardware. If you are struggling to boot from a USB read this tutorial.
..started the install of windows 10. Unfortunetey none of the automatic restart options worked, and the product key was not available.
The situation is USB runs to the first Install step screen prompt 'Report Compatibility' w/ information that this is a new version and need to enter the productkey?
If I exit and run winver in command line, I get exception 'incompatible winver to the version being executed. verify the information and contact software distributor.' Therefore I exit and restart however repeating the commandline winver, gets exception not found - I verified the directory windows/system32 does not list winver. Therefore looked for ntoskrnl.exe, and I get 'not possible in Win32 mode'. Therefore I try Dism /Online.., I get '
