    Please read my post #8 again.
    So was able to use the Powershell to stop Windows Update also ran Winver and it was version 1803. So am now going to do the 3 steps you suggested above.

    Can I use any USB for this?

    A PNY USB 3.0 flash drive does not support booting in Legacy mode.

    If i create a new Bootable USB Flash Drive to install windows 10 will that ask me for a product key or anything as Windows 10 was already on the laptop in the first case I don't have a product key?
    Activation should be automatic as you've already had Win 10 on your laptop.
    I tried using the Hard Disk Sentinel but not sure what I'm doing with it
    If you're using the installable version, install it, run it by clicking the shortcut.
    If using the portable version (= no install) then double click the exe file.

    It will probably give you a tray icon showing the temperature. Double click that.

    Look for

    There should be a button on the left for each disk in your system.

    Have a look at the clean install tutorial to which you were pointed - assuming that's what you're doing:
