Do I Want Clean Install Or Upgrade?
I want neither. I want a fix.
I downloaded and put on USB that Microsoft thing designed for when you've got a BSOD or that BCD thing - when you're computer is in dire need of help.
Lucky I did. Come home today and my computer is sitting there with a blue screen asking me what keyboard type I want - USA, etc . ?
Where the hell that came from I don't know.
But it wouldn't boot.
So I put that USB in and tried again. It still wouldn't boot into Win10 but it did boot into something and questioned me about what I wanted: go to device or this or that or USB.
So I selected USB and it rebooted and hung on the 'press F2 or Del for BIOS' screen.
I figured it wanted me to go to BIOS and set boot order for USB so that's what I did.
So then it proceeds for a whlle and stops again asking me 'it looks like you started an upgrade and booted from install media... do you want to continue if so pull the media and pick 'Yes' or a clean install if so pull the media (implied) and pick 'No'.
I want neither.
Which should I do?
How much does it complicate things if I go the wrong way?
Perhaps either way leads to the choice I"m looking for (was promised, I think) 'repair' ?
