Re-installing windows 10 activation question
So my MSI Titan GT80 laptop was recently updated yesterday with a reg scheduled update and after restart i noticed that the screen went black with the famous sound for GPU driver crash.
Nothing has been OC on this laptop and i have had it for two years now. I suspect either the new update that came through hosed my system, or the recent manual creators update i did. (or my system just said f u bob)
I couldn't get a display back so i did a hard shut down and turned it back on where it just sat at the MSI logo with spinning wheel for hours (i was thinking maybe it was checking the disk) i was wrong.
Doing some research, i found out how to get into diagnostics and advanced tools to which i then ran the recovery to an earlier date, everything went find up until it was finishing and then error pops up. (cant remember what it said, something like a path file error)
So i then try to do a refresh and reset, to no avail without more errors..
Ran CMD and tried sfc /scannow and it said found corrupt files and successfully restored them requiring a reboot, so i went through with a reboot just to be at a stuck loading screen again.
This time i ran CMD and tried bootrec.exe /scanOS and nothing present????

So my question is,
If i use the media creation tool on another PC to create a win 10 install to fix my laptop which was running a licensed copy of win 10 pro, will it work? i mean recognize it as already activated?
thanks for any help.
