[Lolloleyad]

As you read my login screen is broken . How you ask? Oh well it starts up normally with the clock on the left with the date and on are bottoms right are the the two icons (network and battery) .but when I click it doesn't show anything except three icons on da bottom right network ,ease of access and power. I have tried tonnes of things but it doesn't work. And plus the shift+restart does not work so please help. Thanks.

On another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB

lets try start up repair:
change boot order so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
on screen after languages, choose repair this pc, not install.
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up repair - this will scan PC and maybe fix this - will ask for logon info

see if that helps at all

And there's more, I just had these 2 bookmarked.


There is no fix for this problem. I have tried everything and did in-place upgrade twice.

Microsoft seems doesn't care about this.

There is no easy fix, there is always the fresh install fix. I agree that isn't a good fix and would really like another way.

if you go that way...

is there anything on C drive you want to rescue? try making this on another PC: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/
Also, on another PC, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB


change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you reach screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)
