Upgraded to win 10 from win 7 online about 2 weeks ago and it worked fine until a couple of days ago, there was an update wo win 10 and the next time i restarted the desktop I am now stuck in a bootloop

computer specs are at bottom of this post

system restore does not work.... "need to specify which installation to restore" but no options are available

automatic repair does not work

reset this pc tells me the drive is locked

chkdsk /f does not work: file system is ntfs, cannot lock current drive, can't run disk check because volume is write protected

chkdsk tells me: "warning! F parameter not specified." "read only chkdsk found bad on-disk uppercase table - using system table" "Stage
3: errors detected in the uppercase file" "windows has checked the file system and found problems." then tells me to run with /F to fix issues ...which i can't do.

used rufus software to load windows 10 iso to usb drive but it does not work....seems like it's not booting from the usb.

going back to previous build does not work

system image recovery failed: system cannot find file specified (0x80070002)

System File CHecker tool from bios tells me: " there is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete" but i've rebooted 10 times and nothing changes.

how do i fix this?

specs:
dell X8700-1257BLK
Intel Core i7-4770 Processor 3.4GHz 4th gen
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) upgraded to win10

No that will not work. Can you get to advance start up settings?. You might be able to repair it when it's connected to another computer. Not sure how thr install at ion works for windows 10.


First try get advanced startup by crash start up.
While the windows logo has the circles spinning cut power do this 8 times I think. Could be less Google crash starting to get into advanced start up
