    Here is the fix for "Windows could not complete the installation:

    So I managed to get it started up. I turned the computer off and on 3 times to start advanced recovery. Choose advance options.  I was about to restore windows (reinstall windows and removing all apps and programs by keep personal files). Select reinstall and keep personal files. And then on the next screeen hit cancel.  So I hit cancel at the next prompt. I then selected start windows and it continued installation as normal without the error.

    I don't know how you came up with this weird combo but thank you, thank you, thank you.

    Bless your soul. It's weird but worked for me too..

    Worked for me too!

    No, you do not need a DVD. If you turn the machine off 3 times, Make sure to wait and turn it off while the swirl is on the blue screen. On the 4th time, a recovery screen will appear and give you the option to reinstall.
