Hi,

i can't start my PC. Massage is "boot disk missing". I don't see my HDD in BIOS, so i asasume it's broken.

This was OEM disk with OS recovery partition. How can i activate Windows if i replace HDD and install OS from Microsoft Windows Media Creation Tool?

Also, i can'tenter into Recovery Manager by pressing F11. Nothing happens? Is that because disk is broken or there could be more broken complonents?

 

Thanks in advance

You don't need to activate Windows 10, it will activate itself. The problem now is your disk (HDD) how do you install it ?

 

Regards.
