HP Stream 7 not booting

[DeGoGreen]

I tried to runs Windows 10 update on my HP Stream 7 a while ago, and it could not run the update. It then tried to undo the update and got stuck in an endless loop. I have since tried to make a boot disk on a USB drive, running it through a hub. I have been able to access the BIOS and played around with the boot order. It still does not recognize the USB boot disk, and continues to restart and get itself stuck in the "undoing changes to your PC" loop. How can I force it to run the boot disk and reinstall Windows 10?

Backup and recovery
To protect your information, use Windows backup and restore utilities to back up individual files and folders,
back up your entire hard drive, or create system restore points. In case of system failure, you can use the
backup files to restore the contents of your tablet.
1. Swipe from the right edge of the touch screen to display the charms, tap Search, and then tap the
search box.
2. In the search box, type restore, and then select from the list of displayed options.
NOTE: For detailed instructions on various backup and restore options, perform a search for these topics in
Windows Help and Support.
In case of system instability, HP recommends that you print the recovery procedures and save them for later
use.
NOTE: Windows includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your tablet. You may
be prompted for your permission or password for tasks such as installing software, running utilities, or
changing Windows settings. For more information, see Windows Help and Support.
Backing up your information
Recovery after a system failure is as good as your most recent backup. You should create system repair
media and your initial backup immediately after initial system setup. As you add new software and data files,
you should continue to back up your system on a regular basis to maintain a reasonably current backup.
For more information on the Windows backup features, see Windows Help and Support.

tablet battery must have at least 70% battery power remaining before starting the recovery process.

● Windows recovery tools: You can use Windows Backup and Restore to recover information you have
previously backed up. You can also use Windows Automatic Repair to fix problems that might prevent
Windows from starting correctly.

The tablet will not get past the regular boot sequence. I can access the bios, by that is about it. I had already made the USB boot disk from the same link that you shared, but the tablet will not recognize the USB drive in the BIOS. I have switched around the boot order, but it still repeats the same cycle over again.
