Not sure what you mean by Win 10 on a flash card, but a Win 10 recovery drive can be created from any known working Win 10 PC.Īll you need is an 8GB USB flashdrive and 40-60 minutes of time.
When it restarts it will find the USB drive (is it 'bootable'?) and boot from it. Then insert the USB drive into the laptop, save the changes when exiting BIOS and restart the laptop. If the Win 10 recovery is on a USB drive you need to get into BIOS and disable fast Boot and then also alter the boot priority list to show the USB as the 1st boot option and not the HDD as the 1st boot option. Removing the HDD won't fix a corrupted Windows installation.Īre you pressing F2 very soon after the laptop is started to get into BIOS?
