Hello, Have a Pavillion X2 detachable 10-k10nr that has been stored since 2016...trying to use it now I get the HP blue circle logo on black screen then a windows error message saying (WIndows could not complete installation / re start the installation). I have hard restarted the device several times and a couple of times it allowed me to enter language / time zone / location / license agreement / name / email / screen color option then after choosing wifi error shows again.
How can I solve this and start this device? thanks

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
Reregister Windows Installer
-
Exit all open programs.
-
Click Start, Run, type msiexec /unregister in the Open box, and click OK.
-
Click Start, Run, type msiexec /regserver in the Open box, and click OK.
-
Restart the computer and try to install the software application again.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
