Laptop bricked? While updating to Windows 10

Go to solution Solved by SupaKomputa,

If you can get to the BIOS do this:

- enable AHCI in storage option

- if possible, enable UEFI boot

 

In the installation:

-  Delete any partition the existed, Format your drive with GPT partition (if you enable UEFI) otherwise format with MBR

 
My laptop (Samsung NT305V5A-S4PB) was turned off while updating to Windows 10 during battery power and need help fixing it. 
The laptop was running Windows 7 Home Premium K OA and I decided to update to Windows 10 on the Microsoft Windows 10 installation tool. Which I had to delete my graphics driver in order to proceed the installation. And while doing it, it turned off because the battery was low. So I made a usb installation boot drive which it is stuck on a black background with Windows 10 logo and a spinning circle. Please help me to fix this 8 year old laptop. Thanks!

I already made a Windows 10 boot drive from using boot media. The laptop is stuck on the installation. It’s not installing Windows 10, stuck on the windows loco with spinning circles. Will I have to install Windows 7? Cuz installing windows 10 and f4 recover isn’t working.

Yes I'm saying do it over again , just delete whatever you already installed on the drive and start new

You are upgrading and expect the older files saved to the new OS?

I recommend you to backup all important files and start fresh.

For a 8 year computer is not that old to install Win 10, so there must be wrong in the config.

Basically all that support win 7 can be upgraded to win 10.

I’m not expecting to have any old files since it doesn’t boot up. Im just trying to do a fresh install of Windows 10 and the laptop which isn’t responding to the Windows 10 drive that I’ve installed with Microsoft’s installation media tool.
