W10 won't install new updates, now won't let me install any OS at all
Solved problem, ignore.
I'm using Windows 10 Build 10041. First of all, Windows wouldn't update to the newest build. This never got fixed so I tried installing the newest Windows 10 ISO, using Rufus to make it bootable. So I went into Settings and got to Advanced Startup. First I tried putting the USB in, and it didn't detect it. So I tried going into BIOS and changing the boot order. BIOS didn't detect the USB either.
I tried tons and tons of solutions and none of them worked (including a System Restore which didn't work, doing SFC /scannow, it got 3% into the scan and said "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation").
So, out of anger I chose "Remove everything and re-install Windows" to go back to the OEM copy of 8.1 I was using (at this point I wish I was just using 8.1 again). Well guess what; that gave me an error too!
So, right now I'm in a position where I'm locked into using a half-broken version of Windows 10 Build 10041, without the ability to switch to a different operating system, even Linux!
I'm a bit scared, actually...I've run into problems with my laptop but nothing anything like this. I'd really appreciate it if I got help...
