Can't start computer after repair

<< < (2/2)

When you press and hold F2 as you switch on, that will take you into the BIOS.

If your machine came with Win 10 or you upgraded from Win 8/81 then you probably have an UEFI BIOS - if you upgraded from Win 7 then you'll probably have the older MBR BIOS which doesn't have Secure Boot.

Instead of selecting the DVD drive in the BIOS, select the USB drive and go through the same procedure.

The User Interface (UI) of Kaspersky is pretty straight forward but I'd have to run it on my other Win 10 laptop to fully re-familiarise myself with it.

Are you okay with the instructions I've given so far or do I need to run Kaspersky on my other machine ?

So far so good the only thing is I am having difficulty to enable boot order in bios.  I move the arrow to removable device then press enter to save changes but when I try to start up to thumb drive it just boots the way it has been. I created a kasperky drive I got the software to add ISO  to drive so I think I did that ok

rbhabear:
I disabled secure boot and I changed the order of booting but it doesn't boot from drive

rbhabear:
thats strange,  instead of booting into kasperkey it booted me into safe mode.
Since I was there I decided to use the option to check why the system wasn't starting.  I'm a little nervous

Boggin:
What sort of Safe Mode - are you at your desktop display ?

What do you have access to in that mode ?

Sometimes when booting from an USB you need to plug the USB in first before going into the BIOS.

Give that a try.
