Windows 10 on MacBook pro mid 2010 - STUCK boot loop

Hi! :)

I have yet tried once more to install Windows 10 on my Macbook Pro 13 inch mid 2010. I've tried this once before, without success, but left using OS X and didn't touch the windows partition.

 

THIS TIME I decided to remove OS X (bad decision) and just install Windows 10, all of this in one move.

 

I installed Windows 10 from an USB stick, with the installation files from microsoft's site. Everything seemed smooth, untill I had downloaded all needed driver updates etc, and was requested to reboot to make drivers installation complete. Here is where I ended up in the forever Windows 10 boot loop. They windows load circle goes on and on --> It automatically restarts once, and goes into Repair mode.

 

From here I've tried every single option, including entering commands that I've found at several tutorials for such problem fix. No success.

I know this Macbook does NOT support Windows 10, but I also know it is possible to make it run anyway.

I have in my mind to go back to OSX and do the necessary preperations to install windows 10 on this macbook, but I am unable to do this, with my lacking knowledge. I did delete the OS X drive files and everything.

Any genius out there, help! 

 

In advance, thanks for anything!

reinstall windows 10?

 

assuming you already do have another computer that works

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

Hey,

 

try to connect your MacBook via LAN to the Internet. Power it off and turn in on again. At the point you see the Apple-Logo press (⌘)+R. This should show you after a while a worldsphere or sowhat... There you are able to download the OS...

 

Thats might be a bad english -.- Greetings from Germany :)
