Okay, so 3 times in a row I tried resetting my pc, remove everything and clean my drivers. It get's to about 8% then it restarts my pc and then the error pops up saying "There was a problem resetting your PC no changes were made." Can anyone help me please and thank you

If reset won't work and you wiping everything, just do a clean install

download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB


change boot order in BIOS so USB is first, hdd second
boot from installer
follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html

when you reach screen asking for licence, click "I don't have a key" and win 10 will continue to install and reactivate once finished

On the screen where you choose where to install win 10, if it gives you an error about GPT drives, delete all the partitions on the hdd and press next. If it still gives error, cancel out of the installer and restart PC and start installer again, it will accept next on that...
