Windows 10 Wont Boot, How To Fix Master Boot Record
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- A few weeks ago I showed you how to fix a UEFI boot loader. Today we are going to fix an MBR boot loader. a master boot record partition as it turns out is a lot harder to fix then a GPT partition. But harder doesn't mean its impossible. I'll show you how to do it in this video.

Thx for teaching an old dog a new trick. Usually when the /bootfix fails on me, I assume it's because the OS is just beyond repair. Now that I know it's because of 1703, that's a game changer for me! We can collab ANY time you want, brother! 👍💪
I wasn't aware of what was causing the problem ether until I did the research for this video. Many guides would mention the 1703 issue but were never clear on it. It wasn't until I tried it on a 1703 disk that it worked. The video almost didn't get made because of it.
Hello Rich, I can't tell ya how much I appreciate this awesome video. Early July of this year (2024) we had a lightning strike that took out 3 routers, 2 computers and a UPS. After almost 2 months of waiting on replacement parts (2 motherboards, new memory) I'm finally getting things up and running again.
I haven't tried the repair solution you shared in this video, however it looks extremely promising and will actually work.
Hopefully I wouldn't need direct help from you, if I did happen to need a little extra guidance would you be willing to answer my questions and assist me?
Hopefully I can manage to hold my mouth right as I'm performing the steps you have shared in this video. In a brief explanation the system I am working on is mom's computer and it is a dual boot (Windows XP Pro 32 bit and Windows 10 Home 64 bit) there are 2 hard drives, each drive is a terabyte in size and each drive has 2 partitions split as closely as possible to 500 GB per partition on each drive. A recent discovery was the XP is on one of the drives and 10 on the other drive.
I didn't intend to do that as I intended both OSs to be on one drive and the other drive would be exclusive for storage.
Anyway I have a slight concern that the dual boot as described could cause the operation of repairing the BOOTMGR to fail. Anyway thanks for taking the time to read my post 😃😄.
This was an absolute life saver. I installed a new psu with the wrong cables and something happened to my ssd so that it couldn’t boot anymore. Just went straight to bios. I spent nearly 10 hours troubleshooting and testing components before I found this video. My boot files must have been corrupted somehow and this fixed them. Can’t thank you enough.
You were lucky your SSD only had issues...
If I had MILLION$ to give you, it would be yours!!!! Holy cats!! I was dead in the water and you resurrected me!! 🙂 I knew what the problem was...just had to figure out a way to resolve it. This video was PHENOMENAL!!! Luckily my Windows installation CD is pre 1703, so I didn't have to fight that issue. I did, however, have to side track a little off your video and find a fix for an "Element Not Found" error when running BOOTREC /FIXBOOT. But once that issue was resolved, everything launched with success exactly as you demonstrated in your video. Just friggin' YUUUUUUUGE KUDOS to you!!!!! Thank you ~
Glad it helped.
same. Had to mark the partition as active and it worked.
Thanks so much for the video! In my case, I have a dual boot Windows 10/Linux Mint system. While trying to upgrade to Mint v22, GRUB got corrupted. I then removed Mint and GRUB, leaving only Windows 10. But that apparently messed up the MBR. I followed your instructions, but when I reached the bootrec /fixboot command, I got "Element Not Found" error. It turned out that my Windows boot partition wasn't active. So I used your last instruction (diskpart> active) to set it. After that, bootrec /fixboot completed successfully. Following the rest of your instructions, Windows was able to boot!
Will try it tomorrow, thanks for your input
Thanks for posting all this. Even as a technical person, what this tells us is that windows is inordinately complex and for no good reason. My daughter's win 10 disk just gave up and fortunately before it died, I managed to clone it. So to avoid all this horrendous boot nightmare, that's what I recommend - buy another disk of the same size and clone your OS. Microsoft will probably say that's an infringement of the license agreement, but I play fair - the clone goes in my desk drawer until I need it. For those who might complain that this method requires the purchase of another disk, my answer, from my experience of Windows disk failures, is that you're going to need one to replace the failed drive, AND its much harder to reconfigure your new disk when the old one fails. Happy disk drives :) :)
Great tutorial. There's a bunch of half-ass Windows help channels on TH-cam, but this is not one of them.
I just can't help myself: you're way better than Carey Holzman though he's older than you and it supposed to have much more experience than you! He's just waisting particularly our time by showing stupid tutorials rather by teaching his audience such needed issues! Well done to you once again! I do really appreciate you and all your work here on your channel!😊
Thank you so much for this info. Your delivery and content is clean and precise. Explanation of each command cuts down the wall of text I would had to read to truly understand what each command does.
I want you to grow as big as other prominent TH-camrs because your solutions respect the viewer’s time. Take care.
I let Windows 11 Update from 23H2 to 24H2 on unsupported hardware (LGA1366, Intel X58).
After that, Windows 11 then decided to break the bootmgr on it's own and refused to boot into 24H2.
It just gave me the good old "BOOTMGR Image is corrupt. The system cannot boot." error instead.
(i guess this is Microsoft's way of keeping unsupported hardware away from 24H2 lol).
Despite what you said, i had to purposely break/delete the boot folder and bootmgr to fix it
(step two alone did not work, so breaking the boot loader on purpose was the only way).
I am now finally able to boot back into my Windows 11 PC again (albeit that it went back to 23H2).
So i'd like to say thank you so much for this video, as it really saved the day for me.
Wow, being a guy who has been using bootable floppy for windows 95 this was a wow effect to fix a MBR, and i have been formatting my windows drive like stupid once the system was not booting up. Thank you so very much. Really appreciated. You just got yourself another student. 🎉😅😊
Thank you. I've been banging my head trying to get Windows 10 to boot again for the past few weeks. I got sick of Windows 10 corrupting my media drives, tried to switch to Linux, but it refused to mount the drives until WIndows had marked them clean.
Now I've finally got Widnows 10 running and ran chkdsk on all of them. Time for Linux install.
I love how calm you are :) what i actually saw on the screen didn't match, it actually said "failure when attempting to copy boot files", but there's nothing that can be done about it.
Thanx so much for this. I was stuck with a Boot error after trying a Linux Dual Boot, and then when Deleting the Linux Partition in Windows, as no longer wanting Linux, the PC would not Boot, and gave same error as you had shown. My HDD was MBR, and followed your guide step by step, and now Booting back into Windows. Awesome.
Perfect. Looked around for the reasons why Win 11 was not seeing Secure Boot, and this video nailed it. After removing a 3rd partition, I was able to convert and complete the Win11 install. Thanks!
A great guide but in my case I got dead CMOS battery on my laptop and so I could no longer boot my system with GPT and EFI without changing the default setting every time, so I decided to go back to MBR. For that you have to remove any partition that is related to boot and keep only Windows partition itself, then in diskpart creat par prim, format fs=ntfs, assign letter (whatever you like), active. Afterwards use the command "bootsect /nt60 your letter of choice: /mbr" and then "bcdboot D:\windows /s C:" as follows in this video guide. After that I did fixmbr and fixboot just in case, still haven't fixed the fact that scanos can't find any system but finally my system booted up just fine.
I love this guy's tutorials man. I haven't used Windows in years as a daily driver and if I get such errors I'll simply revert to a clean snapshot for my VM, but this guy simply has the type of energy for a TH-camr that you want to watch his videos even if you'll never have to resolve such problems.
(maybe handy to recommend for a friend though!)
Great video yet again, the 1703 ver thing I didn't know about but I do remember thinking why did all the cmds work before on older win 10 installs but not anymore? Now we know about 1703 ver isos and older disks! I thought I was losing my touch.😂
Oooooh you are an absolute lifesaver my friend!!! I’ve just followed all of this for a borked windows 11 and it’s just let me back in! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for the detailed but straight-forward video.
Before, I just typed things, or recited; Now I know what things do lol.
You saved my life! The best get out of trouble video ever.
I tried this anyway using a Win 10 v1903 install drive I had and it worked. However, I only had to do the first command in the set and it booted. Guess my boot files werent that corrupt 🙌🙌
Thank you so much man, subbed!
I thought my computer was completely borked when it wouldn't boot passed bios, but thankfully I found this and it booted up afterwards!
Amazing. I learned computers after DOS so all this stuff is fairly new to me but I did not want to reinstall windows again. I'm having issues with my oc lately and long story short I reinstalled windows in a new SSD and at boot up I have to always select which disk to use. Yesterday tried deleting the old drive and that's it...I could not get back in for the life of me. I followed your instructions and was able to fix the disk and get in. Thanks.
saved my ass. Literally swapped Mobos and the new mobo loaded older versions of win 11. Thanks a million
Rich you are a master, watched both videos related to fixing boot issues. Please make the one you have mentioned RE dual/multiboot. Perhaps I can prompt the content, W10 + W11 + Ubuntu. Thank you.
@CyberCPU Tech
This video saved a huge amount of my medical academic data which became inaccessible. Thanks a lot to you.
I absolutely love the way you explain things. Especially explaining the possible reasons for the hiccups one may face when trying to repair their system. I also appreciate the way you explain things step by step with visuals to go alongside the narration. Keep up the good work bro. Such things always help in a crunch when immediate professional help cannot be available.
The issue you highlighted regarding bootrec not being available in newer versions of windows got me thinking a bit. Are there more such tools or applications which have been deprecated by the original publishers? Especially ones which become essential in such scenarios. If yes, it would be extremely helpful, I believe, to compile a list of such tools and the ISO versions which would be required to access them. As a layman with just some working knowledge of tinkering systems to get my desktop up and running, a person like me would definitely appreciate knowing which ISOs should always be at hand. Storage space (both physical and digital) is at a relative premium for me and I would rather keep a few essential ISOs saved on my disks rather than all available ISOs as an IT repair professional might.
I guess I am effectively requesting you to make a video listing out such applications and tools and which ISOs are these available in.
Thanks a lot again. I wish you even more success and hope that you continue educating us.
Thank you for the detailed explanation and steps to recover the MBR.
Worked for me! Thank you very much, only part that I got an error in was the last part, "Active" ?
Thank you bro. This were incredibly helpful. Avoid me of reinstalling the OS and losing useful software license. Great work. Keep on !
I deleted bootmgr and I trying command and it doesn't copied of me. I'm reinstalling Windows
After you broken the MBR, the option "Continue to Windows 10" has disappeared from the Recovery menu leaving only Troubleshoot and Turn Off. And it returned once you fixed it 😅 so simply to find out, it won't boot again (once you broken it)
Wow , have been working with all this for years and somehow got everything fixed but never knew all the dissections , reasons etc .
But now that I know theory of everything feels so much better .
Dying with questions in mind is never good😂. But u made so many things about boot etc especially 1703 concept is game changer.
Just an addition is that sometimes the reserve folder hidden has not been assigned a letter in that case we need to assign a letter too, hope it helps someone needy hovering over comments😂.
And will have to waste a pendrive bootable for 1703.😂
Very nice trick. Thanks. . Remember deltree? Used to be able to use that command to remove directory with files in it.
Super thanks, this was a hard process I wouldn't have ever figured out ❤❤❤ super greatful
Glad it helped!
I miss the old DOS days. "fdisk /mbr" was all you needed. 😁
You can solve MBR more easily
Use a Wnindows98 or XP CD and use Fdisk
All first command fdisk /mbr
And 2nd fdisk with option 2 you can indicate the active partition
You can also do this via a USB stick
That also works well
I was just going to type that. Thought I'd read the comments first.
Excellent, you helped my restore my system. Thanks.
you assign "Active" status to a partition Not a volume. So it shoud be "SEL PART 1" and "ACTIVE". and you can use "DETAIL PART" to check the status of the partition.
Out of date!
You don't need fixboot, fixmbr or indeed bootrec at all!
It's far easier than you think.
Delete the useless start partition with your favorite Partition tool.
To create with DISKPART at the beginning of the drive:
create part primary size=80 offset=1
Then:
Format quick fs=NTFS label=system
assign (gives a letter)
Then very important:
ACTIVE
list vol (take note of windows and system partition letters, for this example system is G:)
Exit
Then:
Bcdboot F:\windows /S G:
(Sets up all the boot files)
Exit
Reboot
Easy?
I used a Windows ISO 22621.2715

Please @armsby can I contact you so you can give some tips? Because mine isn't working 😢
Sure, give me a contact address Muhammad. Any bootable Win10 or Win11 ISO will do it without looking for an old version. @@MuhammadShamsudeenSuleiman2467
@@MuhammadShamsudeenSuleiman2467 My answers get removed for some reason.
Fantastic explanation as always.
Just a thought in your "UEFI boot repair vid" you created a generic BCD is it possible to use the bootrec /rebuildbcd switch to create a non generic BCD ?
Thanks
Man I love ! awesome tutorials you are sharing ! keep it up !
So cool. This helped a lot
Glad it helped.
@@CyberCPU I was wondering how do you screen record in recovery mode?
@@Warmachine-fortnite I have a device that record's the HDMI output of my system too a USB thumb drive. I typically use it as just a backup recording but in cases like recovery, it's my primary recording device.
Thank you very much, your video was very helpful to me, especially for the information on the version of the Windows CD, new subscriber, greetings
Excellent explanation thanks. I will try this soon on my dead windows PC !
PROBLEM SOLVED: For those how need to Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro and Windows XP in the event that Win 10 is the first one installed and XP is the second one though should be done the other way around: boot firstly in Win 10, install EasyBCD 2.4 and with its help you must insert the Win XP's boot loader in the same one of Win 10s. Hence, afterwards you should be able to have the choosing menu of opting which OS to boot from. Should anyone needs more details on that, revert here and say it!😉😉😉
God bless you brother even after all my begging. I will try this today.
Hope it helps.
Always great information; however, where is the link to create the USB drive you mentioned?
Fantastic video, really helped me when i ran into unexpected boot issues and no other videos/guides were helping.
@cyberCPu : it is showing element not found in bootrec /fixboot
Great tutorial tnx man,i jus subscribed to your channel 👌
Well, although for the step at 16:50 I get an error that the drive or so could not be found and then I exited, after reboot the system booted into Windows suddenly. So, thank you very much!
Thanks so much! This helped a ton for me!
Everything worked until I did the bootrec /rebuildbcd and then after hitting y it returned "the requested system device cannot be found"
I had a new m.2 gen 5 that i installed win 11 on. My old drive still had windows installed. The new drive was 1tb the old drive was 2 tb, so it's idiot proof what drive needed formatted.
I used windows installation to access the hidden partitions and erased all of them for disk 1, disk 0 was my new disk and all partitions un touched. I restarted and no bootible media found. How does formatting one drive effect a completely separate drive????
Thank you. I should have followed your instructions here (for broken MBR) but I followed the ones given for broken UEFI, first.
In the process, I discovered that my partition is MBR, as when I tried to install Windows ... I got an error saying - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk, as it has a MBR partition table On EFI systems Windows can only be installed on GPT disks"
So a natural question - how should I have determined what I needed beforehand.
Here is the thing: on 16:41 minute it shows that return figure "1", but to me it returned "0", and even so, I continued your indications further more to the end and interestingly enough I still was able to boot again my laptop in Windows 10! Strange or what?! However since I've got Windows 10 on "C" partition and Win XP on other partition - though it should've been on "C" one since the right order of installation should be first Windows XP, necessarily on "C" drive and then any OS(Win 7, Win 10, Win 11 etc) on any other partition - can you please guide me how would I be able to or what and how should I do to see both operating systems and so to be able to choose which one to start with/to booth with?! So far I just can't see that menu to choose from either Win 10 or Win XP and it's booting default in Win 10. Kindly awaiting for your professional reply.
You saved my drive,thank you very much!!!!
bootsect command can easily fix the bootrec error without using that version of the ISO
did you try it out?
I've never found another way around the problem. I will happily look at other methods though if you know of any.
@@CyberCPU
bootsect can be helpful in that recreating mbr sector before fixing the boot record. you can get help with:
bootsect /?
Just make sure to choose /nt60 because /nt52 for Windows XP and below.
Hey...great tutorials. But I have another problem that you haven't addressed. I have a Win10 install that doesn't have any other partitions other than the main windows. In other words, there is no boot partition or recovery partition on it. How can I fix it so it will boot? Thank you.
Check my other posts here
@@armsby Where are your other posts? You didn't provide a link. Thank you.
@@hunter7777 I meant a comment to this video. It starts 'Out of Date'. Search and you'll find it.
It maybe a bit too quick for some. Perhaps I'll do a real video on Boot repair on mbr.
Thanks for the tuts and it's so pathetic from MS not offering a reasonable UI for fixing issues like that. They want to look Windows like Mac OS, but don't do anything (rather the opposite) to be more convenient under the hood. MacOS just lists every bootable OS it finds by pressing alt during startup and you click on it to boot from it. Than you can select the drive you want to boot from by default in the settings. If I clone a drive, I can even boot from it on another Mac and the Mac OS I'm working with never had a fresh install since 2008.
Just yesterday I went nuts with my Windows-PC. New SSD seems corrupted (occasional hanging due to super slow file access), but at least was booting the OS most of the time and I made a clone with Macrium Reflect, but it wasn't booting because it did not clone the boot-partition even it claimed it did. Something is totally f-ed up here and I always have to boot into an old HDD first without any OS on it to boot into Windows on SSDs for unknown reason (all GPT-disks). Even after the 5th or 6th fresh Windows-install it's still the case. But Windows is a miserable piece of junk. I had to fresh install Windows 11 a 2nd time after two days, because I've changed the UI-language and couldn't access most of the settings after. They just disappeard. This piece of sh*t can't even wipe SSDs entirely without diskpart and the 11-installer refused to install the OS because it didn't like the partition-scheme. After I've managed to wipe the SSD (once I did it on the Mac because it can), it didn't recognize my RTX 4080 and I couldn't install the drivers for it. How can a consumer OS be so bad?
all i did was accidentally reset my pc when it had an update installing..
i was working on something and i realized i didnt have a usb port plugged in that i needed, i reached around my computer to plug it in and when i did i had accidentally hit the power button on the tower. the screen went black and so i instinctively hit the power button to turn it back on and when i did i noticed that my computer had started an update and was at 2% already by the time i reached over to hit the button again. i got a bad pool caller error code, someone suggested i update my bios which i did and no i have an inaccessible boot device error and my command prompt WILL NOT register that i even have a valid windows 10 key. all this over accidentally hitting a damn button? is there anything i can do to fix this? i have a flash drive with a windows 10 boot on it but my problem PC will not accept it, all it says is that the computer cannot repair or accept the boot file.
Thanks for the help and knowledge helps a lot
I get access denied and i am using an older version of w10, i do not have a bcd file. I see windows in my dir. but it is never found when attempting to rebuild bcd.
Thanks for your hard work
It's really helpful
I have a question
Can i save windows key on bios like asus or hp do on their laptops pls help
Hiren’s BootCD is any good ?
Yes, it's pretty good.
Took forever to find it’s broken after 1703. Good video for people with this issue…
Yo, guys! I did mistake when transformed my MBR disk to GPT... Then I walked around this shit around 2 days... Then I understood one simple thing - to do through MiniPartitionTool partition that had windows boot inside Active again... And... Now Im doing back-up of my Win11 Pro with MBR structure(whole disk) to do smarter convert of MBR to GPT again. Now I will do my laptop faster loading XD 1 minute is quite time.
Hi Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge with us all!
I believe my reg files were corrupted after an update on my 2013 win10 upgraded Samsung NP350 laptop. For some reason the only thing I can access is the bios where I can modify the boot device to a usb but the win10 installations won’t even go past the window logo and a little turning wheel. So no startup repair or recovery or cmd option. The screen is turned on but blank. No specific noise from the hdd. What could someone recommend? (There was of course no installation cd with the laptop upon purchase and there’s no media installation download on the Samsung support. I am about to go nuts!
These videos are great but I can't even get into the usb boot media without the system crashing..
Fail...BUT, let me explain. I followed all of your directions and it didn't work. Then, I went back and watched the video again. It was GREAT that you mentioned that you must boot your flash drive up in MBR and not UEFI if you're fixing MBR. That was the game changer!!! BUT, after I went thru all of the steps, instead of resulting in successfully completed when answering Y to assign the windows installation to the MBR, I got the response: "The requested system device cannot be found" ... Ughhhh. Now what? Answer: In my case, nothing. Because (I think) the MBR had the windows installation by default as C:\windows...so I just ended up rebooting after taking the flash drive out. If my windows install was on another partition, I don't know what would have happened. Resulting boot time? 317 seconds to get back into windows. lol .... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are the man!!
Man, from 1703 and later versions, I can install Windows 10 32-bit on a modern PC with an Intel 12th-generation CPU and newer, but newer versions than 1703 I can't. Indeed, there is some secrets in 1703
The selection of the reserve partition not as easy and presented, mine is gand once I try to select it like that it says not recognised both internal and external command
10:21 it would to tell how to make sure to boot to MBR vs UEFI
You are a godsend good sir!
I don't know how to fix my Windows 10? It says fat32 corrupted. And if I try to get A clone to work, so this not too old WD hardrive is making way too much noise. And it not even 4 years old. But I found A program on Microsoft to fix it somehow, but it's not there anymore. Can you HELP? Please. Thank you. And my computer guy got me this windows ten online. So no CD.
would AOMEI Partition assistant be able to help with this? I have a PC that had SSD and 2 HDD inside and when I installed the SSD on it... the MBR i guess wasn't installed on SSSD but instead on both HDDS... this causes problems since I would like to remove those old HDDS... But if I remove them my PC won't boot... Will this tutorial work on it? could I do it with AOMEI Partition Asssistant? i'm tryng to find as easy solution as possible that will not cause any data loss...

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
does it work if windows has startup repair loop?
Please show us how to fix when your boot drive that can not boot into OS. The partition doesn't have a drive letter and shown as RAW.
Windows update did this for me this year . I needed to replace main drive. But due to corruption the other drives. Would not boot. Due to trash can folder. Thinking something was in it. But not due to corruption of mbr.
Holy Smokes ! ISO Version 1703 was released in 2017 ! Not many folks have access to that version. MS Support doesn't offer it either. I'll need to check through my CD Library. However is there another way to get around the Access Denied error ?
Nope, that's the only way.
You can use this to get 1703.

To resolve issues with the Master Boot Record (MBR) in Windows, you can follow these steps:
1. Use Windows Automatic Repair:
- Boot your Windows system and enter Automatic Repair mode.
- Select Advanced options > Troubleshoot > Startup Repair.
2. Use Command Prompt:
- Create a Windows 10 USB bootable media.
- Launch Command Prompt and run the following commands:
- bootrec /RebuildBcd
- bootrec /fixMbr
- bootrec /fixboot
3. Repair MBR on BIOS systems with MBR-partitioned drives:
- Launch Command Prompt and run:
- bootrec /FixMbr
- bootrec /FixBoot
These steps should help you repair and fix any issues with the Master Boot Record on your Windows system.
Your instructions are out of date!
The "bootrec /fixboot" command can no longer be used for boot repair, because the command always shows "Access is denied". Microsoft has prevented the use of the "bootrec /fixboot" command on both GPT and MBR disks.
Windows 10 version 1703 (April 5, 2017) and earlier installation media.
- bootrec /fixboot -> "The operation completed successfully"
Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1709 (October 17, 2017) and newer installation media.
- bootrec /fixboot -> "Access is denied"
==============================
You don't need the "bootrec /fixboot" and "bootrec /rebuildbcd" commands if you use the BCDBOOT command.
BCDBOOT [/s [/f ]]
If the system partition has been corrupted, you can use BCDBOOT to recreate the system partition files. BCDBOOT copies the boot files from the Windows partition to the system partition and creates the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store in the same partition.
The BCDBOOT command works on both GPT and MBR disks.
==============================
Why does my partition say “hidden” ? I also get failure to copy boot files. Ugh this is a nightmare
Hey I'm using windows 11 and after a quality update my laptop goes bsod and sends me to aptio. I found the update at the cmd in recovery mode but the update that is causing trouble isn't uninstalling, it keeps showing error but when i uninstalled the other update that was installed at that date too, it uninstalled successfully so yeah i found the culprit. How can i uninstall that quality update? (I've tried every other methods that's why I'm forced to use cmd in recovery mode)
Can a machine that has broken MBR be made to boot using GPT type disk?
Another question I have>
Can a machine that has only BIOS no UEFI boot anymore? My i7-4770s don't have any UEFI. They boot. I should check and see what the disk type is. I think they are GPT but shouldn't have EFI partition.
in my windows 10 when i go to location setting it says some setting are managed by your organization
I've tried this several times but still unable to restore the boot sector, so let me try this a different way, Can i convert the drive to uefi then fix the boot so I can keep the system? I would eventually like to try adding windows 11 in a new partition but I really want to fix the computer first without having to try restoring al my preferences.
What if windows couldn't even get to boot... bios updated, legacy mode disabled/enabled, UEFI disabled/enabled, tried everything but shows only windows logo in split of a second then goes crashing, couldn't even reach recovery mode...couldn't even load a new OS.... could it be a hardware issue? Kindly, I need help. Thanks!
Hi there, I have a PC handheld gaming device called the Onexplayer Mini Pro, and the performance of the device was once fabulous. But after a few months, while I was playing the Resident Evil 4 remake, the device turned off suddenly without warning, and I restarted the device. It shows the BIOS, or Windows 11 operating system. How do I solve this recurring problem? I will be thankful to you.
Is the required ISO file included on the older original release's boot disk?
Does it have to be a Fat32 in the boot partition?
What are examples of code can you give how to individually specify that i boot in the same partition. 14:16
can you do a video on putting windows 10 on a portable ssd
Should be the same as any other hard drive. However, it will be really slow.
@@CyberCPU I have a laptop with windows 10 but i cant do anything because it says managed by your organization what do I do

Help me to fix this please, am trying to activate my windows 11 pro. This what it's saying.."We can't activate windows on this device as we can't connect to your organization activation server. make sure you are connected to you're organization's network and try again."
Sounds like someone tried to bypass activation. I know it's possible to fix but you have to reset all your activation settings. I can't recall how to do it. It's been a while since I've had too.
@@CyberCPU So.. 1) I have to remove product key from windows. 2) Remove product key from registry, so that I can reset windows activation
@@Kijana_Kenya_Official it's been a long time since I've seen the issue. It's typically associated with someone trying to bypass activation with a crack of some kind. I don't remember how to fix it. It's been at least a couple years since I've had to do it.
