A smaller flash drive? Alrighty, I will go get one. I have a LOT of projects on my computer, which is why I thought the usb ext drive would be a better option. But at least I have a backup drive now for when/if it starts working again. I wanted to take it to a computer repairman to break the...

Done. Images are added

I don't know where to properly post this It's Day 3 at this point. OLD POST Yesterday: I was previously signed onto my account and was about to log into a game with my friends for a session, but it suddenly froze. I waited for almost 20 minutes before I pushed the power button and forced it...

Installer's in the new ext drive but for almost 24 hours, it won't go past BIOS. Now I'm wary to see if plugging the ext drive to this with the newer installer will help... I need a mental break. This pc has made me learn more about OS and BIOS than I will ever want to know. I'm tech savvy...

Sorry, what I meant was, or assumed: I was to download the media installation of Windows 10, then boot up the affected computer and plug the new ext hard drive with the new windows 10 installer in hopes to make progress on regaining access to that affected computer to get my profile back and...

On this laptop (surface pro), it's Windows 11, so it's iffy with fiddling with Windows 10. Gonna try with the Windows 11 update on the the drive maybe and then plug it back to the affected computer. Give me a few

I can't even get to my profile from this. The BIOS is starting to feel like hell mocking me that I can't go any further, even with the new ext hard drive, unless I'm missing a crucial step

Does this mean my pc will need to be replaced? The ext hard drive seems to yield the same result of looping back to BIOS after showing a blank screen with a blinking underscore after clicking on it.

Lmao, the picture in your signature is like a bonk to the head

How do I say "no" without feeling like a dummy for that? lol I assumed all would be well and "nothing could possibly happen" Got the external hard drive btw. I'd say "back to Square 1" almost

Most likely. And now a few years later, it's biting me in the butt and it's.. quite stressful. All my projects and commissions are in that device

So I purchased an external harddrive under Seagate BUP Slim, set it up on this laptop, including the Windows 10 installer. I then plugged it to the affected computer and attempted to boot it. Still BIOS, but I see the Seagate harddrive in the Boot list. However, when I click on it, it still...

Yes, it was used after the seller made this custom built pc, but he said all I had to do was delete his profile and turn admin status to my new main profile

Do I have to do it from my affected computer? I'm unable to go anywhere but the BIOS? Or.. did you mean I should go to a nearby tech store to get a usb drive and THEN do the download from this laptop and move it to the pc? I'll work on this right away. Thank you for this really I'll give an...
