You can do a startup repair and then a complete 10 repair install with a

This Windows 10 Pro update bricking happened just after the first reboot of
the system after 3 consecutive sets of daily failed Windows 10 software
updates on the 25th, 26th, and 27th of January.

The Microsoft Tier2 telephone technical support (+1-800-642-7676) tried all
the Windows recovery options (save one) from the bricked boot disk, all of
which failed.

Microsoft telephone support also tried the same set of all but one recovery
options using a DVD that he downloaded and burned for me when I gave him
control over a good Windows 10 desktop.

If you can't boot from the hdd, boot from the dvd and run the startup
repair.


That fails because Microsoft Windows 10 Pro update bricked the OS.

If that is successful and you can boot from the hdd you can
reinstall all of the w10 system files while retaining your programs,
settings, and data, if needed.


I already bought a new HDD and installed Windows 10 Pro and even had
Microsoft Software Specialists install for me Office 2007 Pro over the
phone by taking over control of my system yesterday.

The data is the only thing I care about since programs and operating
systems are all free (sort of) and readily available.

For the data, I'm trying the various methods (Knoppix, Testdisk, Recuva,
PhotoRec, DDRescue, etc.) all of which have much promise and where I saved
a lot of the data last night using Knoppix (although I ran into an issue
with "splicing" files that I need to resolve.

In addition, for the bricked operating system, I have an appointment at the
Microsoft Genius Bar over at the Westfield Mall in the middle of Silicon
Valley on Stevenscreek Blvd in Santa Clara (+1-408-454-5940) who have hours
from midnight to midnight so it's easy to make an appointment with them.

The good news, on topic for rec.photo.digital, is that I have been
transferring photos from the phone of the repair process over to the newly
installed Windows 10 Pro PC without any issues, either via WiFi pver the
LAN, Bluetooth over ad-hoc services, or over USB cable (it just works).

Apologies, I didn't read that you'd gone through all of that. Good luck.
