[Bransen]

When reinstalling windows 10 I keep getting blue screens that says BrHostDrv.sys and the computer won't finish updating windows and is stuck at 65%. Some other things are I did a wipe that should uninstall everything like apps or settings and I did it in local not cloud.

I'm on the reset PC part and don't know if I should do local or cloud when I tried local I had blue screens but I'm scared cloud will cost money.

Hi @Bransen,

I am sorry for the delayed response and the inconvenience.

You can surely select the cloud download to reset the PC and you wont be getting charged for anything.

If the issue still persists, Back up Data and Reinstall Your Windows.

Please click on this link to perform a recovery on your Laptop.  (Take a backup of the data before performing a recovery)

Please help I'm scared it said something like could not install windows please use local instead. Also the computer I'm stuck on the updating screen and the recovery thing so I can't go on Microsoft edge and click on the link and I can't and don't know how to do the back up on data that you bolded and when I went to reinstall windows the first time I said delete everything

Hi @Bransen,

If you are not sure on taking a back of the data, then you will have to take the laptop to a local store to create a backup for you and then reinstall the operating system using the link shared earlier.

Take care and have a good day.

I have a tower, and I can't go on Microsoft edge to use the link, and I don't know what a backup is and don't know how to make one, and also is there a way to fix my problems without taking it to a repair center because I don't have money to fix it
