Hello everyone,
I am having massive issues with my Windows 10 (on a Lenovo, so luckily I have a NOVO button, which allows me to boot), which all started after a broken display.
Windows refused to start properly with the new display connected, although I was (at that point) still able to boot in safe mode. This is no longer possible and the only option left open to me is "command prompt".
I have recovered all the files and documents that I need, so at this point it is merely an issue of resetting the computer and restoring the previous system.
Unfortunately (who'd a thunk it), this is also not possible. As Windows states that "no changes were made to the system" (?) and then stops the resetting process.
I have downloaded a Windows ISO file (Windows 10 April 2018) and would now like to run/install it.
Interestingly enough, I cannot run "Powershell", so all I have is Windows CMD.
Anyone care to please help me unravel this?
Thanks a lot!
All the best,
Oppressedbythesystem
EDIT:
What does one do in the case of a "screen freeze"? The computer/system powers up and then fails to properly load.
So I cannot even boot from the USB.
Earlier on though, I copied the ISO file onto C via cmd. Is there a way to run/install the ISO file from C via command prompt?
Nothing else seems to be working.
Thank you all so much in advance for taking the time!

Hi OppressedBytheSystem
Have you created bootable Windows 10 installation media on a flash drive from that ISO?
If so, click the link below, which will explain how to boot your Lenovo from that flash drive to install Windows 10
