did you try to keep files or wipe everything?

If the Asus web site ever loaded I could see how to get into factory reset but I suspect it uses windows functions for that which we can't get to.

If you chose to save files, you may need to use http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/use-ubuntu-live-cd-to-backup-files-from-your-dead-windows-computer/ to access and copy your files

Win 10 resets seem to go too far and break windows. If you can copy everything off Laptop using Ubuntu, I would do a fresh install.

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

change the boot order in bios to USB first, hdd second
boot from the Win 10 USB and follow this guide: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-windows-10-clean-install.html
