Left in constant boot loop, (install, reboot, back into Install mode)
I had a laptop with a legal version of 7 U x64 and used MS download media tool to leech a ISO (32 & 64 bit) made a bootable thumb drive and then bit the bullet and wiped my old win 7 machine (500GB ssd with 3 partitions, OS, Acronics Images & Downloads), then rebooted with a partition app CD to wipe drive and make new partitions for the new OS (didn't want MS to make new partitions as i hear they leave an odd partition hanging around) anyway done that fine rebooted, went into bios and made USB thumb drive first boot cycle and rebooted and windows 10 installer took over done the usual country etc, then it went into first reboot and it comes back up after reboot as the normal do you want to install 32 or 64bit, well i had already done that so done some googleing and peeps say when it says it's going to do first reboot it gives you a countdown clock whip out the thumb drive so again i formatted the partition and went for normal install and when i got the countdown clock i whipped out the thumb drive and when it reboots I just get a flashing underscore on the top left of the screen and that's the situation i am left in.
It's going on an old HP Pavilion 15-N297SA laptop with 8GB of ram and 500SSD, I'm at the point of reinstalling 7 back on the laptop and having to redownload the ISO and put it onto a DVD (don't know how to move contents of thumb drive to bootable DVD), any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome, many thanks.
