computer was accidentally turned off during first windows 10 set up: error code 0x800700B7-0x2000A

Hey there, trying to solve an issue for my friend who accidentally shut of their new computer during the first setup for windows 10. Windows 10 installed after starting it again but there are of course corrupt files to deal with now. We tried a reset and new install only to get the error message, 0x800700B7-0x2000A. Does anyone have a simple fix for this? It's a bit beyond my computer knowledge at this point. I've also been trying to get to the advanced boot options on start up but none of the F command keys seem to get me there. I figured just wiping everything from there and starting fresh would be the easiest. I've tried going through the settings to restart the computer at the advanced options pages but it freezes every time it gets to the F command advanced options. Any ideas are appreciated, thank you!

format the drive, then reinstall. just like a blank drive again

running the install media again may be the only option to reach this point if you don't have 3rd party disk software on a cd\dvd.

we have a windows 10 disc but that still doesn't seem to make a difference when we run it we end up with that error code.

use a separate system. download disk formatting software of your choice, i use EaseUS. install to bootable disc(cd\dvd\flash). use on problem system's main harddisk to format and start over.
you will need to use google if you are not familiar.

Okay, I will probably try and reformat the drive first as I have a bit more experience doing that.
