UPDATE:
I have no idea what is going on with my laptop.
I have downloaded TWO Windows 10 .iso images and burnt them to disc (one made by the Media Creation Tool the other a direct d/load from Microsoft (Link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...b7511%29%28%29 ).
When placed in the PC with the borked Win 10 HDD in the machine and BIOS set to boot from CD/DVD first, I get a black screen with the Windows 10 logo in the centre and the circling dots underneath. There is also a blinking HDD light showing that the PC is doing something - but I dont get an installation screen nor the chance to do a recovery.
It sits like this for hours (see image below)
Shouldn't the PC boot from the CD directly into the installation package??
I know Windows 10 is different from other Windows OS's but THAT DIFFERENT?!?!?
What am I not doing that I need to do in order to launch the installation package and have the choice of repairing the OS?
In short HELP!
