Anyone know how I fix this?

#

you'll need to go into BIOS and put your drive at the top of the boot priority order

tardy charm
#

when you switch the PC on keep pressing the delete key (DEL) until it throws you into BIOS, then navigate to the boot menu and usually the boot order is somewhere obvious

#

it can vary from PC to PC so if you're unsure where to go in BIOS just take a picture and i can direct you

I keep pressing delete nothings happening

tardy charm
#

are you doing it when the PC is turning on?

I’m pressing it when it’s on this screen

tardy charm
#

oh no you need to be pressing it when the PC turns on - so if you turn it off then as soon as you turn it on you should be clicking delete

gleaming rain
#

Ohhh okay I’m on this screen now

tardy charm
#

ah good, now if you press on the boot page it should show you some more options

gleaming rain
#

Yep

tardy charm
#

click on this option and switch it to whichever drive has "Windows" in its name

#

(#1)

#

you'll want to change it to UEFI Hard Disk:Windows...

gleaming rain
#

I’ve changed #1 to this one

tardy charm
#

yeah that looks good

#

if you press F10 it should prompt save and exit

#

and click confirm/yes

#

though some PCs differ so you can also just click the button for save and exit at the top

gleaming rain
#

Yeah thank you my pc is restarting now

I’ll let you know what happens

#

It gives me this now

tardy charm
#

press continue - it's just unhappy because your PC wasn't able to load into windows properly before i think

gleaming rain
#

I tried pressing continue but it just takes me back to automatic repair screen

you can try booting into safe-mode to see if that helps:

  • select Troubleshoot
  • then select Advanced Options
  • select Advanced Startup Options
  • select Startup Settings
  • select Restart
  • it will prompt you to select an option after this step, select safe mode (which iirc is 4)
