Download the "Media Creation Tool" (MCT) from MS and prepare a new installation.

If you have important personal files on your machine, it is possible to copy them to a separate USB-Disk, using this MCT

Hi there

Unfortunately I cannot get past the loading screen which shows as Automatic diagnosis which then takes me to reset but this fails so it seems it is stuck in an infinite loop which i cannot get oast to download anything.

 

what i think is because past of the reset failed windows has been removed and the laptop cannot bypass the restart process now.

In 90 % of the cases the automatic repair doesn't help. 

You have to boot from the USB-Stick and therefore you have to go to to the BIOS.

Press Esc repeatedly during startup and then select F9 and the USB stick.

Do you know what would be best to buy i.e what usb or is there a disc? 

thanks

You need an USB-Stick 8 GB or bigger. That should be between 5 and 10 $ . When you go to MS you can download Windows for free. And when there is an update you always can do that for free. That's it 

I recommend you to look at YouTube for instructions how to prepare  this boot-stick. 

It's easy but for this you need a second Computer. 

You also find good videos how to do the Win installation.

When there is a problem come back.

Good luck
