My Stream 7 will not boot and the recovery is not working.  I do not have any recovery media.  Error code 0xc0000225.  Any advanced repair option does not recognize any password I try with my profile

Hi:

What is the full model number or product number of your notebook?

Use this guide to find that information...

Hi:

The only suggestion I can offer, since you had upgraded the tablet to W10 is this:

Make a bootable W10 installation flash drive with the media creation tool from the link below.

Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

Make the 32-bit installation media.

You will need to get a standard USB to Micro USB 2.0 B adapter so you can use your tablet's USB charging port to boot from.

Something like this.

Amazon.com: UGREEN Micro USB 2.0 OTG Cable On The Go Adapter Male Micro USB to Female USB Compatible...

Charge your tablet to 100%.

Read the user guide, chapter 9 for how to boot up your tablet.

Plug the USB adapter with the W10 USB flash drive into the USB port.

Tap the F9 boot options menu, and from that, select the USB flash drive.

After you get past the Install Now screen, you will be asked to select the version of W10 you want to install.

Select W10 Home.

Then you will be asked to enter a product key.

Select the 'I don't have a product key' option.

When you get to the part where you are asked 'where do you want to install Windows,' delete every partition on the hard drive, leaving just one partition of unallocated space (should be around 29 GB).

Then select Next, and W10 should install.

After the installation is complete you can install the drivers and available software from the support page.
