Windows 10: "restoring previous version" boot loop

[johnajdfiu3hf892]

Hi so this happened about on Thursday, when my PC which is on Windows 10 was updating when I turned it on. I was impatient so decided to turn off the computer just like I always do. This time, it's different, instead of actually restoring the previous version of Windows 10, it started being weird. It's going on a loop so;

"restoring previous version" 2-3 secs.. shuts down repeats

Right now, I'm on Ubuntu, glad I had it installed

use ubuntu to copy anything off Win 10 install you can't afford to lose.

Restarting PC during a version update (which is what it appears you were getting) will break windows.
the only logical way to fix from here is a fresh install:

Download the Windows 10 media creation tool and use it to make a win 10 installer on USB - this will include the version that was being installed before your restart.


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 the 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 screen this time (some PC just need a restart here)

can you make your own post and show a link here, and I see what I can do. Making a new one means more people will look at question

Can you give some info regarding what PC you have in that post as well.
