Windows 10 clean install

Anonymous

PC won't boot and I'm done attempting a repair. Finished.

I would like to start from scratch but would like to install the OS GPT vs MBR which I had originally done.

I originally upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 Ultimate Edition before the 10 upgrade for free expired so I don't have a key. What's the best trouble free method? I also installed with a legacy BIOS (Award Software Int.) but the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 rev 1.0) is UEFI capable.

I sign out and back on and it worked.

This was on only 1 of the 4 laptops. Some of the replies were done on the other laptops just to see if they were affected. They were not and I have the other one looking good.

LOL, now he is back from USER A to lacrumb. That has happened to me before by accident, as they claimed, NOT, but they also do it when you are naughty.

The unintentional hilarity of things around here is what keeps me coming back.

I was under the impression that UEFI was better given it created more than 1 MBR on the drive (less likely to have MBR corrupted issues and no boot).
