Acer Windows 10 Boot loop

My Acer Windows 10 is stuck in boot loop. I've tried to reset the laptop, recover the laptop and restore the laptop with command prompt, nothing has work. I've tried everything with ALT + F10, I've fixed the date with F2. I've also entered the laptop into safe mode to try and reset/recover it, it gets stuck on 62% every time. The last option that I've seen online is to install Windows 10 on a USB port because it does not have a CD/DVD drive but I just wanted to make sure there was no other solutions before I attempted the Windows 10 option.

    I solved it in about 5 minutes. I downloaded Windows 10 on a USB drive from my other laptop and then installed it on the Acer. Installation took about an hour but it's now back working like it's brand new.

    Power down the laptop, remove the batter, unplug it and wait 10 to 20 minutes.

    Start it again, then see if it boots into the recovery environment.

    If it does, do the following:

    Click Advanced Options

    Click Troubleshoot

    Click Reset this PC

    Click Keep my files

    Choose your account

    Enter your password

    Click Continue

    Click Reset

    If that does not work, download, create a bootable copy on a USB drive then perform a custom install:

    Go to a working computer, download, create a bootable copy, then perform a clean install.
