Hi, I had majr issues with this Samsung so I decided to do a clean install. I formatted the drive, installed an image of a GPT for UEFI partition structure. I then prepared a USB stick with a ISO of Win 10. I tried to install the ISO several times but it locked up several times during the install. (One time I successfully installed a Win 10 ISO with a legal Product Code but it gave this message in the lower right hand corner that it was a demo version so I tried again with a different ISO)

After several unsuccessful tries it started crashing into this blue screen.It says: RECOVERY Your PC/Device needs to be repaired. A required device isn't present or can't be accessed. Error Code:0xc0000225 I can't get into BIOS or anything else. None of the Function Keys do what they are supposed to.

At the moment, I'm trying to boot of of a WinPE stick. Normally F10 would do the trick, but not now.

Anybody got any ideas? Thanks, Jim
