I have a dual boot setup w/ windows 7 and win10, both on separate ssds. I really only use the win7 since all my modded games are on that. Skyrim ect. So I actually have only booted up w/ win10 just like 8 times maybe since 2017. I started 10 up about 6-7 weeks ago and saw there was a ton of updates. So I installed them and everything went well. They installed fine. Control panel showed they installed okay except maybe 1. Iirc 1 may’ve failed. But I started up win10 a few times and it booted fine.
Fast forward 6 weeks and win10 will not boot. It did sorta but w/ lotsa screen flashing and fading to black/ flickering. Had to shut down w/ power button. Started back up and got a screen telling me diagnostics and repairs. Showed lotsa errors on E drive (win10). That ran and seemed to show things fixed. But upon restart I get a blue screen like a win10 troubleshooter, telling me win10 cant start. Tells me it can’t auto fix so I need to reset, start from usb ect.
At this point I think it may be best just to totally reinstall wn10. I have nothing on it cept bit of storage. Think I still have the original disc I bought unless I lost it lol. I’m not too pc savvy and had this built by Microcenter. So I’m thinking to try reinstalling but I’ve never installed an OS and am worried the dual boot will complicate things, even tho win7 & 10 are of separate ssds. Worried about partitions and stuff.
Any advice here would be much appreciated. Anything special I need to watch for because of the dual boot? thanks
