    If after three failed restarts, your system does not boot into the Recovery Environment;

    Windows 10 English International 32 bit

    Windows 10 English International 64 bit

    Download and save to any PC. To create bootable media, you'll need an empty USB thumb drive of at least 8GB capacity. Download and save Rufus and double click to run it.

    Once created, you can plug the USB drive in to the 'broken computer' and choose for it to be the first in the list from which to boot. Possibly by pressing the F12 key as the machine is starting up, depending on the model of PC.

    Once booted, choose choose the language options when offered and the choose the 'Repair My Computer' option.

    Laptop fixed now. Bought a hard drive enclosure and transferred my stuff. Changed the date in the bios, then stuck in the recovery disc that I got with the laptop which is Windows 7, so expected to get Windows 7 but got Windows 10 back and all my stuff was still there.
