I'm trying to run a disk check and get the memory dump to attempt to resolve a bosd. The issue is I get the bsod a few seconds after widows boots, leaving me with no time to open the cmd and enter the prompt. 

 

Is there away to launch cmd through system bios before the windows login? 

 

The pc is an oem acer aspire I5 3330 running windows 10 home.

Run a Windows installation and when you attempt to fix you can run cmd from there

You need windows to be running to get a cmd.

 

Restore backups to before the bsod?

 

Safe mode?

I've attempted to restore, use safe mode, run windows repair tool and I've even attempted a factory reset with both of the options keep files and full reset. 

 

Upon clicking any of the options the computer instantly restarts and boots right back up to the log in screen, as if I clicked the restart button.

You got a bad windows update.

it seems corrupting important files in windows folder.

Happened to me once.

The only remedy is to clean install windows.

I assumed this would be the case, I'll just have to try to make a USB boot with the unactivated windows 10 as I don't have a boot disk or key. 

 

Kinda sucks tho bought the computer used, and it has a significant amount of activated software I was hoping to save.

You can still get the keys with many programs.

 

Also if you buy a system with software, normally its not technically yours as the linence doesn't transfer when sold, but depends on the software.
