Windows 10 upgrade from win 8 Stuck
You won't find this laptop in either of my specs and falls in the "sure I'll take a look at it" family category.
My Nephew's Gateway NE56R48u was being upgraded to 10 when the upgrade hung in one of those moments that the machine needed to restart itself. The screen stayed black and the blue led busy light continues to blink, this has been like this for several weeks and the NE56 has been shutdown and restarted a few times to run for hours by my nephew.
Nothing I've tried works;
- Over 15? different key combinations, press and hold or tap, even using the "SOS" code on f2,
- pulled the cmos battery,
- ran a boot dsk and that didn't take, but I don't believe it was for a gateway with 8 on it, nothing,
I just can't break that update to get 8 to startup. I need to get at least to safe mode with cmd prompt, would something like hiren's or rufus work?
I'll appreciate any and all suggestions even the ones that I may be wasting my time.
