Downloaded and started installation of build 9879. Computer showed "Installing." Came back a little later to find the computer had tried to restart, but hung up on a blue screen saying "Your PC needs to be repaired. I cannot boot computer now. Screen looks like Attachment 8245
I tried to boot from installation disk and could not. Help! Windows 10 was running great before this.

If you have not tried this, when the computer shows the welcome install screen, press the Shift+F10 key to use the command prompt.


bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /fixmbr

if that still fails, try again and do this

bootrec /rebuildbcd
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /fixmbr

Good luck

I can't even boot to the Welcome screen. Everytime I try to reboot I get the blue screen I show.

I am still not understanding the difference in this latest TP between the Enterprise edition and the regular (Professional?).

Also, when installing the Enterprise edition, is it necessary to insert a serial number during installation?



Thanks

This is a good explanation of the differences, from the horses mouth. They are items the average user can live without.

Windows 8.1 Enterprise features

You shouldn't get the blue screen with the windows preview usb install disk or install dvd.


I am talking about the windows setup welcome screen.

When you hold down the shift + the f10 key





you will see this



It looks like you need to do this

bootrec /rebuildbcd (hit enter)
bootrec /fixboot (hit enter)
bootrec /fixmbr (hit enter)

Type exit, hit enter, hit the x windows screen and reboot without the install disk. See if windows 10 preview will start. Now if you get error message that won't rebuild or cannot find windows 7. You will need to manually activate the windows partition using diskpart from the command prompt. I let someone else explain how to do that if you need that.



If that doesn't work you could try a repair install from you installation disk. You may need to reinstall your software.




Choose repair your computer. Good luck.

Windows 8.1 Enterprise features

Actual as a home consumer myself, some of those feature would be nice. The start screen control and Windows to go.

OK, now I see what's going on with the greyed out Boot to Desktop option. If it's set it to use the Start Menu (the default on a fresh install), the option to Boot to Desktop is checked and greyed out. When I switched to the Start Screen it became a selectable option. It doesn't actually change until you log out and log back in again.

If I check the option "Show Start on display.....", sign out then back in, the option to uncheck the first option under 'Start Screen" lights up to uncheck it to use and boot to the Start Screen?

LOL! I need to know for sure because checking that and using the Start Screen messed up my 8.1 Start Screen in the first build due to synching.

This option only becomes changeable when you toggle to the Start SCREEN UI, it remains greyed out on the Start MENU UI.
