My windows installation locks up right after login.
I can't enter safe mode at all. Tried Shift-Restart, Windows Boot USB
I can't delete partitions on my m.2 SSD to reinstall fresh windows. The always return even though programs say they have been deleted. Tried diskpart clean, UBCD Gparted, tried wiping with many other programs. NOTHING... the partitions remain and cannot be deleted!
Can't start the warranty because serial numbers and product numbers don't match.
Edit 1: i also noticed a red led flashing on the M.2 SSD.
I need help... What does that indicate?
Edit 2: diskpart and Win disk Management say the drive is read only. I tried to change that with diskpart "attributes disk clear readonly" and it doesn't work. Is there a way to remove the read only?

Although, I'll need some private information from you in order to create a case for you.
