Hello and I'd just like to say thank you for taking a chance to check this thread out. Anyways let's get to the point, well I have a Asus sonic master laptop when I first bought it it had windows 7 ultimate loaded on it and I really wanted to try out windows 10 so I installed it.. Anyways it's been two months and suddenly I shut my laptop off the other day and now everytime I turn my laptop back on it says automatic repair then it's get to diagnostics and I've tried everything all the options... And nothing seems to work I'm not really sure what to do, most of everyone I know is telling me that I need to wipe it and load a new program which is fine with me... I really didn't want to lose all my files and stuff but I'll survive I suppose. Anyways... I dont have the original windows 10 loaded on a disc but I do have windows 8.1 with drivers on a flash drive from another laptop that I owned it was the identical laptop and all the drivers and information should be the same. What im wondering.. Is can I just load windows 8 and the drivers on my laptop and start fresh? Or does anyone have any other ideas... If I can reload windows 8 with drivers could someone give me a step by step guide on how to do so.. Thank you in advance once again.

Why don't you take some time and see if you can rescue you critical data.
You could try booting to a Linux Live distro and copy off your profile folder onto external media.
I like this version as it seems a bit more window - ish.

Once you have the ISO, burn it to a DVD using ImgBurn http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
Boot from the DVD and locate your profile folder and copy it off to external media.
Do not install it. Just stay in the live environment to recover your files.
After which .....
If you had Windows 10 installed and it was activated then you can reinstall it from the installation media which you can also burn to a DVD with ImgBurn after you acquire the ISO from here

Good luck and keep us posted.
