I'm experiencing an issue.
You were using Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and the system restarted unexpectedly. Now you're stuck on a screen after choosing reset, with your personal files still intact. It's unclear how to proceed from this point.
It seems your system may have been corrupted during installation. Do you have an additional storage device available for a fresh Windows setup? Saving time and avoiding stress is wise—simply install on the new drive and retrieve your activation code from the previous installation. Beginning from zero can be challenging, but it’s a valuable lesson. If not, you might face a frustrating repair process that could lead to failure. Be cautious, as the drive could be failing and contribute to the issue.
You can set up W10 on the device, transfer all necessary files from the previous storage, erase the old drive (it’s tricky because there’s a boot sector, so if you need full access you’ll want Linux or Windows USB to clean partitions), then use it for games and libraries. Or, with the recent SSD price increase only a slight rise, you can simply purchase a new SSD and upgrade yourself. The exact steps depend on how much effort you’re willing to invest.
You need to get this PC online by Friday since you don’t have another desktop at home.
I also attempted to start Windows 10 from the USB, but it won’t work.
