By everything else, I'm referring to the steps you provided.
By everything else, I'm referring to the steps you provided.
You have a laptop with a broken keyboard, this not a good news.
Did you succeed with the clean install? If yes and the problem is that it boot into a spinning wheel, then redo the clean install.
If an install does not get you to a working desktop, then the install has failed.
Don't worry, I got a working usb keyboard.
Anywho, I can't get to point where Cortina appears (Step 15). After installing, it restarts and then a wait a moment loop comes and it's been like that overnight.
Also didn't ask me for a key, just went straight for the agreement.
If Win 10 has previously been installed on this PC then it has a digital license stored on the Microsoft Servers so will not ask you for a key.
You get through this screen, all the way through Finishing up?
Power off the PC using the power button (press and hold). Wait till it completely turns off, wait a few more seconds then turn it back on again. What happens?
Yes, I get through this part of the setup with success. It then states that it will restart and I let it restart. Next, it checks my devices and restarts. Finally, it goes to a sky blue screen that loads non-stops overnight, asking me to wait a moment.The problem is not with the software installing but the aftermath. The wait-a-moment loop is endless and shutting down during the loop results in a defaultuser0 account.
Is anything else connected to the laptop at this time other than the USB keyboard?
Are you connected to the internet via WiFi or Ethernet? If WiFI, disable it, if Ethernet, disconnect it so there is no internet connection. Leave it this way until the install completes. The turn Wifo on or reconnect Ethernet and continue.
I also got a usb mouse and the install usb. The wifi button on my broken does appear white when installing but I can't disable it through my usb keyboard, is there another way? Reminder, I'm using a hp touchsmart 15 laptop.
It requires a password to connect though so I doubt it's connected due to it not asking for one.
