These are BIOS settings, Boot Mode is set to UEFI and Legacy, is that ok ?

 

OS is installed on MBR, yes.

That is much better. If you have a bootable USB drive, there should be a key to press during startup for the Boot Menu. Selecting the USB drive during startup should have you boot from a bootable device.

Try tapping on F12 during startup and see if you can reach the boot options. If your USB bootable device is inserted, it should appear on the list.

Since the OS is in a legacy Mode, all should be change to Legacy.

 

Run this command at the prompt:

 

bootrec /rebuildbcd 

 

Let me know the outcome.

Operation completed successfully, after restart it boots into Windows, if I turn it off and on again, it freezes at Windows logo.

Are there documents you need to backup? The second hard drive, what is being used for? Are there any important document in it?

I don't see advanced options section, do u mean load optimized defaults maybe?

No need to backup again, I already did that when I reinstalled Windows. Second hard drive is being used for bigger files like movies

That is the BIOS. I am referring, the Advanced Menu when you boot to the USB bootable drive, before reaching the Command prompt. If unavailable, How where you able to install Windows?

I believe we will need to reinstall Windows. We have fixed the boot process twice, but you always end up on a Frozen Screen. The reasons are countless and Windows is not allowing us to review the installation. I am enclosing a document that explain How to Clean Install Windows 10. I urge you that you read this document. Chances are you will need a Product Key.

 

The most important is that your BIOS is now on a legacy MBR mode, so it will be easier for Windows to detect that. Make sure you run Diskpart as stated, and its commands:

 

Diskpart

List Disk

Select Disk 0 (That is Disk zero)

Clean

Convert MBR

Exit

Exit

 

Keep us posted on your progress.
