Hard Disk/Bios Issue/Error 0xc0000001

So here it is, I own an Acer E1-510-2611 and I updated from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. After that, the nightmare begins. I can no longer restart my computer; the screen stays black for 10 minutes before seeing the "Acer explore beyond limits" logo, and then it takes another 10 minutes before I can see my profile and enter my password to finally get to my desktop. In the beginning of this problem, I could at least access my desktop (it was extremely slow), but now nothing happens, it stays on the black screen with a small wheel that keeps turning endlessly. After browsing various forums, I suspect it's an operating system issue. My computer does not have a CD drive, so I am downloading the programs to recreate a Windows 8 installation program on my USB stick. I go into my system setup, try to change the boot order to start my USB stick first so that the Windows installation program runs, but nothing works. I have put the USB HDD first (I also have USB FDD and USB CDROM) I don't know what to do anymore??? On forums, I read things about BIOS but I don't know what that is...

I had episodes of "no bootable device" hard drive but that's not happening anymore... I don't even know what the problem is.

And today it's a blue screen that opens with the message:
'' Recovery, Your PC could not start correctly. '' .... with the error Error 0xc0000001 (SEE PHOTO)

I don't know what to do anymore...

A huge thanks!

    Ok, let's proceed step by step.
    When you press F12 on startup, do you access the boot menu?

      No, the screen is still and always on the Acer explore beyond limits. No matter how much I click F12 and Esc, nothing happens... The only way I can access the Boot Menu is by waiting for the download to fail and bring me back to the "Recovery, Your PC couldn't start properly." page, and then I can finally make a choice and go to the Boot menu...

    Press F2 at startup and choose setup,
    in the menus select MAIN
    check if "F12 boot menu" is enabled [enabled]
    ==>save & exit
    Restart and access the boot menu by pressing F12

    If he tells you right off the bat that there’s a problem with the HDD, it’s generally going to fail. I wouldn't take the risk of trying to recover it, even if of course there's a way to try to recondition it with a program like gpart.
    But honestly, with the price of HDDs nowadays, I wouldn't waste my time on that. You can already get small 320 gig drives new for around €20.

      Yes, I understand, getting a new hard drive is not a problem, but it's more the fact that I'm not able to set my USB HDD to boot first... so even if I change the hard drive, I don't even know if I'll be able to install my Windows...

      I plugged my hard drive into my SATA enclosure and I decided to format it by connecting it to another computer; I don't know if that will work... Or can I repair it with a program by connecting it to my other laptop?

      ok I bought myself a new hard drive and I managed to install Windows 8 with my USB... the only problem is that when I enter my password to log in, nothing appears... I have a black screen and a cursor moving in empty space... Is it a virus?...
