Hello friends

I've been having a problem with my HP desktop computer, Core i3 8th gen, for a few days.

The computer was a bit slow, so I decided to reset it. I noticed that the reset was taking too long, so I unplugged the cables. When I tried to turn it on again, this message appeared on the screen: *press the ESC key for startup menu*.

I need your help, please. Thank you.

Hello,

From another PC, use the MediaCreationTool to download a Windows ISO file (for another PC). For Windows 11, if compatible, you can download it directly to create a USB drive of 8GB or more to reinstall Windows.

Windows 10

Windows 11
https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/software-download/windows11

Once you have the Windows ISO file, you can create your USB drive with Rufus.

In GPT mode.

Boot from it using the Boot Menu key (or Startup Menu?) of the PC (Escape or Esc).

You can search Google for "[Brand Model] Boot Menu Key”.

Choose "Custom Installation" (not upgrade).

No need to format if there is space; if there are data, they will be in a Windows.old folder (which will automatically be deleted after 10 days).

Install on the same partition, or if you prefer, delete all system partitions and create a new one (this will delete the data).
