Hello TL fellows, I recently tried to restore my old laptop so that I can pass it down to my little brother. The restoration went smoothly up until my little brother accidentally remove the charging cord (I removed the battery beforehand because I always remove the battery when my laptop is connected straight into the wall) and crashed the installation. Now whenever I try to turn the laptop on, it will boots up until the blue screen "Just a moment..." and keeps on loading nonstop. I tried to access the bios but my laptop won't let me do it to configure stuffs.

HP Envy m7-j020dx
Windows 10 Home 64-bit
Intel i7-4700QM
8GB DDR3L
1GB 5400 HDD

Thanks in advance!

If you get to windows you can get to your bios. Make sure that your laptop is fully turning off, and not just entering a sleep state.

I have tried both ways, my laptop refuse to let me enter BIOS/UEFI and when I insert a USB drive in, it just ignores it and goes straight to boot into that screen.

I had this problem installing Windows 10. The solution I found was, there's a way to get a command prompt window to show up. Using that command prompt, it's then possible to start the Windows Task Manager. In the list of running processes, there's a "cmd.exe" and killing it makes the installation continue.

I forgot the details. I remember opening the command prompt window was done by pressing a key combination (can't remember the keys). The command to start the Task Manager is "taskmgr".

I'm actually not sure the graphical task manager works. I used the commands "tasklist" and "taskkill" to deal with that misbehaving cmd.exe process and did not try the "taskmgr" command.

EDIT: Google says the key combination to open the command prompt window is "Shift-F10".
