Windows 10 Broke my computer?

[Alex Branham]

So I upgraded to Windows 10 two days ago, loved it on both my laptop and Desktop. But today when I turn my Desktop on, I get a error "Unaccessable_Boot_Drive" and the computer restarts. I have done everything I can think of. Used the disc to run Automatic Repair, tried to Restore but no Restore points was found. Tried a whole new Install of windows, but all I have is the disc and not my serial code so can't move past that point either. I am at a total lost for what to do. Short of buying a whole new Windows disc and reinstalling that way idk what to do. However, I'm broke and can't afford new windows disc. So is my PC just shoot or what?

If anyone know a fix for this please let me know, I work from home on my Desktop so without it I am unable to make money to pay bills and ect...

ok ive gotten that error before

thats when i tried to change the hard drive controller mode from IDE to AHCI

did you change somethign like that in your bios?

[Boink]

You don't have to input the key when it asks you to. There should be a button to skip that step in the lower corner of the screen, then you can input a key into the settings app later on.

also try running safe mode

that fixes the problem on some computers

Sounds lie your boot files got corrupted see if you can run the windows startup repair if not you might need to reinstall it again. You don't need a CD theses days just make a bootable USB with the windows 10 ISO on it.

You probably having some sort of storage device issues

you should be able to skip the code part, windows will allow you to enter it at a different time. at least it did for mine for windows 7 and 8.1.

What is your boot device, and is your system in UEFI mode or BIOS mode? See if you can get the hard drive into another computer and analyse the partitions using Disk Management. Here's what mine look like:

Windows 8 and above do not have an easily accessible safe mode, and the majority of the time they just load up system files from various partitions (see my prev. post) then boot into Windows normally. To get into safe mode he has to get to the login screen first.

Window did allow me to enter the key at a different time the 1st time I used the disk for some reason it won't now.

You're lucky my system completely ignores those and I have to do it through the power button menu (hold shift + restart). I take it you are running in BIOS mode?

How many partitions did you have?

your on uefi so

but for those if you have 4 primary partitions on a MBR system, and you upgraded to 10, you pretty much were fucked.
