Auto-Repair can't fix--Can't upgrade in place either
This is my first post. Please take pity on me!
If I disable the automatic repair, I get an error about HAL bein missin or contains errors.
I can get to a command line via Troubleshoot->Advanced Options->Command prompt.
I can't see anything wrong with the files on the drive.
I have one SSD drive. I have an c:, d: e:, and x: when viewing under the command prompte.
d: looks to be the windows drive.
I've made a win10 upgrade usb stick by using Rufus to create the files on the sitck from the .iso. After getting to the command prompt, I insert the stick (it becomes the f drive) and run f:setup.
I get stuck on a "Compatibility Report" screen which says "the computer started using the Windows installation media". I've searched on how to avoid this issue, but haven't found a solution from just a command prompt.
I've tried many other things including:
chkdsk /r on all drives (no errors)
restoring registry from regback
mbr repair
Out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
