tried that several times with two different hard drives. Its an ASUS F3JV, tried removing any removable hardware (wifi card, extra memory) tried removing drivers for non essential hardware. the bios is not upgradable its on the latest it can go to (its not UEFI compatable)
Im back on win 7 with every update installed.
Definitely a BIOS issue. I guess for an eleven year old laptop, it's best to let it see it's days out on Windows 7.

it gets past the bios on first reboot after win 10 install but switches off shortly afterwards and then re installs win7. Your probably right though it runs happily on win 7 and is only my back up/ spare laptop.0
