If this is the route you want to take, run the Media Creation Tool as mentioned above.

Make sure to back it up to another device. If possible DO NOT use optical drive - THEY ARE SLOW AS HELL - get A USB and put windows installation on it.If you use a USB drive as installation media, any data on it will be deleted. NEVER EVER use Asus graphics drivers - THEY ARE OLD for ANY OS 7/8/8.1/10 - DOWNLOAD IT from the GPU manufacturer site ( NVIDIA or AMD ).ĥ. get windows 10 installation on USB & install it AS I INSTRUCT IN MY GUIDE ( special boot for each #1 case )Ĥ. after you decide #1, you need to config bios ( READ MY GUIDE )ģ. what kind of boot you plan on having ? old-bios & MBR formatted drive OR UEFI boot method & GPT formatted drive.Ģ. To solve you issue there are key things you need to know:ġ. Then either stay on that upgraded OS, or format and clean install win10 ( which I suggest ).Įither way and WHATEVER YOU DO - PLEASE READ MY STICKY THREAD ABOUT A GUIDE FOR WINDOWS INSTALLATION - UEFI METHOD. To solve such issue - install win7 SP1, upgrade to win10 USING THE METHOD MENTIONED IN MY STICKY GUIDE ( see my sig or the sticky thread in this sub-forum ). If the later is the case - and you got into bootloop/blackscreen and have not activated win10 or have not been connected online for more then 10-15 min - your activation process may have issues if you're going to format & install win10 from scratch. do you have retail product key - or did you made win7->win10 free upgrade. What I don't understand from your post is how you plan to activate windows 10. it's a simple windows with a little bios configuration issue - the fix is 'doable' - you just need patience.

Is it toast or is there a remedy? Thanks for your help in advanceġst of all - don't panic. Can anyone help me with this I have done everything I could find on the net about it to no avail. I can hear the optical drive running when power on but that’s it. It shut down and I have not been able to get nothing but a black screen the power light and charge light to come on. So I went into bios settings to set it to boot from optical drive to redo windows and reboot it. It come back on with windows failed to install correctly. A window popped up and said 122 of 155 files uploaded. It had to uninstall the one reboot and install the new driver. I went to asus webpage and downloaded the newest updates. Got it out of that done a factory restore and reinstalled windows 10. When I got it of course it was in a boot loop. He started a factory rest on it but didn’t let it finish.

I recently bought this laptop from someone.

Win7 upgrade to win10
