my system came with windows 8.1 pro, I upgraded to windows 10 during the free offering.
I have just recently found out that my bios is not working properly. I can not access my bios when I hit the delete button, the screen just goes black, motherboard has a led read out which says A2 and goes no further.
I tried to install a new ssd drive 850 evo 500GB and the device managers says it is working properly but it does not show up in my list of drives under My Computer.
I want to do a clean install of the operating system and put windows on one ssd drive and everything else on the other new ssd drive (like steam and all of the games) I still have a hhd (1 TB) that I will use for pictures and music if needed but I really only want to use this computer for my Vive . everything else is not important to me at this time. I just want the best possible environment for the Vive system.
So I need recommendation, should I go to the option of resetting my system back to factory settings (windows 8.1 pro) and see if that brings my access to the bios back and hopefully the computer will recognize the new ssd drive.
or should I do a clean install of windows 10 pro using the clean install tool from the windows 10 web site and see if that straightens thing out.
