Hello- My son and I started a project to upgrade his computer. We purchased everything new except the video card and his current hard drive. After several hours/ days of Father and son bonding completed the project. When we turned on the system everything booted up and we were fist pumping cheering. Then came the problem.
At start up his normal windows log in screen came up- he tried to log in, but says bad pin/password. We then tried to reset the password- he spin for 30 seconds then a blue screen comes up that says " you must be connected to the internet for this step" . We double checked the connetions and I logged into my Xfinity account to double check- Xfinity shows we are connected, the BIOS shows the ethernet cable is connected. everything seems good.
I read that I may need to update the drivers for the motherboard- I put in the CD that came with the kit- but because I am stuck on the log in screen I cant run the CD.
I then read that I may need to reinstall windows 10- I grabbed a flash drive , followed the instructions " boot from USB" I went to set up and selected Boot from scan disk USB- no luck.
Please help
Installed items:
