What happens when you choose Troubleshoot?

6 choices, 1)system restore, 2)system image recovery, 3)start up repair, 4)command prompt,5)UEFI firmware,6)Go back to previous version. I've tried 1,3,6(negative result) Tried UEFI too, but that's over my head. Have i5-6200cpu @2.3ghz,80SB. Worked fine last 6months until latest windows 10 update 3days ago. Hope the CPU isn't fried. Any help would be appreciated. Don't feel like dropping $2-300 at a repair shop

$2-300? I'm in business in the wrong country.

System Restore will be your best shot so long as you had set it up. If it is there, it can take the system back to the Restore Point it will have created before the update went in.

System restore didn't work. Have tried system reset in security, nothing changes. Now I to have use password for harddisk security. It wont let me clear password, only reset the password. I don't know where this will end up.

Passwords don't create themselves. Take the hard disk out and slave it to another PC to remove your personal data. Format the disk in that machine then return it to yours and reinstall Windows 10 from an ISO from Microsoft.

OK thanks. My other pc is an older acer with HDD, Lenovo is SSD. Have to get a friend to slave it, if he has the set up.

Friend used to buy computers at auction, rebuild and resell on ebay. He went on disability, don't know if he still does it, since he is in wheelchair. Appreciate your input. Willing to spend up $150. If it costs more will sell, and get newer refurb. Let u know. might take a couple weeks

Can give pc to friend, he can rebuild and resell split the profit. apply that to a newer laptop.

I hope you have better luck with that one.

Had the Acer for 5+ years, only replaced the battery. May just sell Lenovo, don't want to sink money into it. Looked up reviews for that model of flexpad, a lot of people had problems with those. This time of year has good prices online for new ones.
