I was trying to install Windows 10 on my pc because it was saying "no bootable device--- insert boot disk" and while I was in that process of installing Windows 10 using a USB the pc was stuck on HP Logo loading . What must I Do??

[@PC_Monkey]

My laptop doesn’t have a option to turn on legacy boot

[@PC_Monkey]

@@bigman3871 That means its either bad or loose. I would first try 'reseating' the Hard Drive. That is where you unplug it and then plug it back in, making sure its properly plugged in and secure. Try the scan again. If it still says that its not installed, then its most likely bad and needs to be replaced. You can see how to do that here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn_TZn6YpJ6ofsk. You would also then need to install an operating system onto the new one as shown here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppCxkKuMbM-SjtE

For anyone thinking to buy a HP laptop, just don't, it's not worth the stress and effort to keep it maintainted and working somewhat functional. As a HP laptop user over the last 5 years I have spent literally WEEKS(real-time) of my time searching KZbin and forums to fix the problems I have encountered. The incompatabilities with HP laptops and Windows 10 is insane. Every Windows 10 update, more or less, causes some problem with my laptop, whether that be the laptop gets stuck in boot loops after an update(causing me to have to reinstall Windows from a USB), graphics card issues(causing the laptop to freeze every couple of seconds), sound card and audio quality problems. Not to mention they are incredibly slow and frustrating to use. It's been an absolute nightmare. I'm now at the point now after another Windows update and stuck in boot loop for the 4th time(and finally because I'm throwing the laptop away) where I can't even reinstall Windows off a USB or DVD as a new install for whatever BIOS/system reason, computer says no. It gets to a point where you can't be bothered to try and fix it anymore, why should you? I paid for a product and all it caused was problem after problem with no support, and not being technically knowlegable with computers it gets exhausting.

This tutorial is AMAZING. I was getting ready to scrap my 11" Windows laptop because it was driving me up the wall and doing EXACTLY what was described in this tuturial. Following this laptop's software crashing, I was left with it rebooting itself and shutting itself down every two minutes, (caught in a rebooting loop) - EXACTLY as described in this tutorial and I actually thought that the device was permanently damaged (hardware). I gave it ONE LAST GO following these instructions to the letter and GUESS WHAT? I GOT IT UP AND RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH PC MONKEY. I AM EVER SO GRATEFUL, you are EXTREMELY software intelligent, making me look stupid, but NEVERTHELESS, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT TUTORIAL to get all your computers BACK ON TRACK. Follow these instructions people - IT WORKS A TREAT. It takes a long long time to get everything back, (a few hours), but it was worth the wait. A BIG, BIG, BIG THANK YOU.

Hi, i followed the steps in your video. They helped a lot and when I changed the legacy settings from enabled to disabled, my PC didn't freeze or anything and i was able to access my desktop. I realized the laptop was very slow so i decided to close any unnecessary programs running in the background. Some didn't close fully so i disabled the services from task manager. I also changed the power plan to HP recommended which varies the power depending on hardware ( i think). Other than that i did not do anything else. The laptop worked fine for the rest of the night but the next day after i turned it on i opened the Microsoft store and the laptop froze. I decided to restart but it just keeps freezing .

Does it reset your laptop? Like all of the files inside your laptop gone as if it was new?

I recently tried swapping Hard Drives in my laptop and immediately when I did that my laptop no longer boots into windows, just goes right to Automatic repair and finds nothing. Same thing happens when I put my original hard drive back in. Ran Hard Disk checks and my laptop passes them every time. So I went into the Boot Order in the BIOS and I don’t see anything regarding UEFI or Legacy

[@PC_Monkey]

If your hard drive passed the testing, you may need to reinstall the operating system as shown here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppCxkKuMbM-SjtE

[@shawney.d2834]

So, after I'm gonna enable the legacy support, it says "changing this setting may make the system unable to boot the OS. Do u want to make this change? " And I heard u say restart it, but what exactly does happen if the setting is unable to boot the OS

The same thing happened to me! I bought a restored HP laptop, turned it on, Cortana was on and took me through the initial setup process. I managed to log into my Google account and started watching a video on youtube when it suddenly froze and was making a weird sound. Then a blue screen saying my PC run into a problem and needs to start... I left it for a few minutes but it never actually re-started, the blue screen stayed on. I switched it off and then back on again; HP logo comes up, then "Preparing Automatic Repair" for a minute or so and then the screen goes black and nothing happens. I followed your instructions from this video (kept pressing ESC) but after I pres F2, I get a message: "Version 7.6.2.0 Your current version of diagnostics is not up to date, please go to www.hp.com/go/techcenter/PCDiags to update your diagnostics. But I'm unable to do that because the laptop won't switch on 🙁 Can you help me please?

Hi, great video. I did a factory reset a few months ago, now when ever my HP laptop restarts my user files are not conncted to their apps/programs. I have to re-sign into chrome and other apps as if I've never been on previously. I have been seraching and searching for videos to help with this. Do you think you could help me or recommend any videos so when my laptop starts up everything is ready to be used as normal? It doesn't freeze or restart on its own, it just doesn't save anything. Any help would be hugely appreciated!

THANK YOU + Question? Have been fixing HP laptop w/help from your videos abtt 3 mnths - problem is getting stuck in boot loop at various stages: HP Screen, Date/time scrn, Welcome Scrn, etc. Started w/your video to clear static & it WORKED like it was brand new.. about 5 days. Problem returned: followed your forget/add/psswrd for WiFi again ran like new about 5 days; problem returned: followed another video - perfect! After last 3 days of boot up problems -just did the Bios menu & changed Boot Options - currently running beautifully. Each step of your videos work ONCE but boot up issue returns within a week. Have you seen this before? Know what it could be? THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME THIS FAR!❤

@@heartpaws519 If changing the settings in BIOS did not resolve the issue and the diagnostic test passed all components, then its most likely an operating system error.

So, what actually worked for me was just turning off the secure boot. I had installed some software to allow Windows to read Mac drives, I've installed this same software with same install file on several computers with no issues for years. But for this HP laptop, it wasn't having it. So, I uninstalled it and reenabled secure boot. I'll figure out something in the future, but I would have never thought about turning off the secure boot if it wasn't for your video - so thank you!
