Hi JohannesK

If you feel that this the option to go for then we can have a look at this.

Probably worth a go as running out of options!

Are you able to back up your data?

Ok. Here we go

You can create your own installation media for windows 8.1 to do a repair of windows. You will need a blank USB with at least 4 GB of space. Do the instructions on a working machine.

Step1 - Download the windows 8.1 ISO file

• Download the windows 8.1 ISO file from here.
• Click on Windows 8.1
• Select the Windows Edition. Choose windows 8.1. Click Confirm.
• Select the product language and confirm.
• Choose the 64 bit download link.
• Save the .iso file to your desktop.
  
  
  Step2 - Download Rufus
  
  Download Rufus from Here
  
  Insert the USB stick Then run Rufus
  
  
  Select the ISO file on the desktop via the ISO icon.
  
  Press Start to Burn
  
  Once completed Transfer the USB to the machine to be repaired.
  
  Step3 - Repair Windows
  
  You can then do a repair of windows which will keep all of your settings. Follow the guide here. At step 3 select option 4 for USB file and follow the instructions.
  
  
  If you are unsure of anything please let me know. Let me know how it goes

Hello Bruce,

 

It took a while, but it worked! As a matter of fact, this message is posted from the 'broken' laptop. I am so happy right now. Thank you very much for your help!

Is there anything I should to to sort of finish the job? Or am I done? everything appears to be working.

 

With kind regards and much appreciation

Johannes
