Reboot and Select proper Boot device / Windows 10 installation

[Blue Knight]

Hello,

About a year and a half ago, I got a custom built pc from Cyberpowerpc. It came with Windows 8 and work wonderfully!

When Windows 10 became available, I upgraded. At first it was fine, everything ran smoothly, then it would random blue screen for a split second, restart, then take me to this screen:

I didn't have an actual disk for Windows 10 because it was upgraded from the internet.

I talked to a friend that had the disk, and inserted that when it asked for the "reboot and Select proper boot device" and it brought up the windows 10 installation. When I went to go install it, it comes up with a compatibility report saying:

"The computer started using the windows installation media. Remove the installation media and restart your computer so that windows starts normally. Then, insert the installation media and restart the upgrade. (Do not select Icustom [advanced] to perform an upgrade Icustom [advanced] installs a new copy of windows and deletes your programs and settings.)"

Addition notes that might help:

I have a gigabyte motherboard. In the BIOS features, there is a line that says OS type. It only has two options: other os, and Windows 8. Selecting other os doesn't change the problem.

Any help would be appreciated.

do you want to install or do you just want to fix it?

if you can, download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB
boot from installer, on 2nd screen after languages, choose repair this PC, not install
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up options
hit the restart button
choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
PC will restart and load safe mode
just seeing if it works really, if safe mode works windows should. See what happens when you restart

If it didn't help, try booting from installer again, choosing repair again
follow this: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/repair-master-boot-record-mbr-windows

you can copy anything off PC you want to save using http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/

If you just want to reinstall win 10, run the installer and when you hit that warning, choose custom and follow this from step 12 or 13, depending on your bios type: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

Other OS in bios refers to Win 7, not Win 10. The difference is how it looks for the boot disc, every operating system prior to win 8 used the Other OS method, Win 8 & 10 use a newer method. If you swapped to other OS when PC was working normally, Win 10 wouldn't boot.
