Hi, thanks for reply,

(i migth sound like i understand computers but ive just been reading up all night so please if there is something else i can try let me know)...

Hi I want you to boot into the Advanced Startup mode. You can try this trick to get there!

Did you see this when you clicked on my first link I posted?

Hi Here's how to get into the advanced startup mode. You have several options there to fix windows.

If your PC isn’t loading Windows 10 and you don’t have the operating system installation files, you can use the following trick.

1. Start your computer and follow the POST, when Windows should begin loading, press the power button to shutdown your computer.

2. Repeat the previous step twice, and in the third restart the operating system should enter into the Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE), where a number of diagnostics will be performed to try fix any booting issues, but you will also get an option to access the Windows Startup Settings.

Yes, i tried it and this is the screen i get

From there i can go to advanced options> troubleshoot > advanced options

and reach this screen

I tried most of these options but i end up in the same loop. 

I never got to the screen i saw in your link where it says windows didnt load properly. 

Hi your first screen shot says "Windows did not start properly."

I guess my next suggestion would be to create the media creation tool. Here's link! Let me know how things go. I'm guessing you have corrupted your operating system. It will take a long time to reinstall windows. If you've tried all the Advanced Startup options and nothing worked, this is my next suggestion. Some times other members will join these threads if you want to wait for more suggestions. Did you try " System Restore"? in Advanced options.

Here's link for media creation tool!

The advanced options here may allow you to fix the problem – the Automatic Repair option is particularly useful, and the System Restore or Safe Mode options may help you boot your computer. If none of these options work, you’ll need to perform a refresh (or a full reset.)

Hi again,

im going to try the media tool as nothing else seems to work. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for all the help, much appreciated. 

Hi Yes! You can keep your files!

1. The tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC.
   • If you don’t have a license to install Windows 10 and you have not previously upgraded to Windows 10, you can purchase a copy of Windows 10, see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-windows-10.
   • If you previously upgraded to Windows 10 on this PC and you’re reinstalling it, you don’t need to enter a product key. Your copy of Windows 10 will automatically activate later using your digital license.
2. When Windows 10 is ready to install, you’ll see a recap of what you’ve chosen, and what will be kept through the upgrade. Select Change what to keep to set whether you would like to Keep personal files and apps, or Keep personal files only, or choose to keep Nothing during the upgrade.
3. Save and close any open apps and files you may be running, and when you’re ready, select Install.
4. It might take some time to install Windows 10, and your PC will restart a few times. Make sure you don’t turn off your PC.
