acer aspire ES1-711-ZYL cannot load W10 (fresh install)
hey all ,
disaster comp from the netherworld ... a project taken on for a young college student after a couple of her *friends* tried to work on it and did a botched job .
they tried to install W7 on a 8.1 machine and from what i understand , there was a warning that 8.1 was "not genuine" .
i purchased a legit copy and key for both W7 and W10 ...
(i would like to install W10)
i can always use one or the other on my own builds .
when i try to use the usb stick installer (pendrive linux) for/of W10 (selecting the usb stick as the boot device) a "recovery" screen with error code pops up :
a component of the operating system has expired .
file : \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
error code : 0xc0000605
when i try to run the stick from within the *non-complete/botched* W7 (attempted) install , the install starts and proceeds through several screens (key numbers , what to keep , making sure ... etc ) up to the point of "installing W10 ..." .
the little *bead chain* goes around and the % of completion tallies up .
the install goes to completion and the machine reboots ...
a dos screen opens with the same message about the expired file (as above) .
it mentions something about bypassing the driver signing and i try to navigate to it ... but ...
a screen of "we couldn't install W10 ..." opens up , with :
"0xc1900101-0x20017
the installation failed in the safe os phase ... error during boot operation" .
(i did manage to get a ethernet driver from acer to work on the W7 side ... so it can talk to the outside world)
any help is greatly appreciated .
thanks in advance
