Power was cut off to my brothers pc while he was playing games. When trying to restart the pc its giving him an error code. I tried to restart the pc in safe mode (as explained in the trouble shoot guide) it either just goes to a black screen or takes me back to recovery options. Dont have much pc experience but im sure this isnt right. Please help.

    Hi PorkyChops

    Sorry, I was offline . . .

    When you boot from that USB, it should do some initial loading of files, then your should be taken to a window, asking what you want to do, do you get that window?

    HI PorkyChops

    Okay, then you need to go to another working PC to download and create a bootable Windows 10 USB, then boot this PC form that drive and instead of re-installing Windows 10, choose 'Repair this Computer' that will give you access to the Recovery Environment from the USB, which will hopefully work for you . . .

    Click this link:

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool
