Need computer help!

[MickZagger]

So my laptop forced me to update to Windows 8.1

Well, I did and now my computer won't start, when I start it it prompts me with the message "We couldn't complete the updates undoing changes, Don't turn off your computer".

Its driving me crazy as I was really set on watching the Blazer game. Now I'm red-faced fucking pissed off and am really contemplating throwing this thing out the window and kicking the shit out of the douche bags that made me download windows 8.1

All I wanted to do was enjoy the Blazer game on my Saturday night.

Any help is mucho appreciated.

I'm not good at riddles.

dump windows, install Ubuntu.

Your virus will be gone, too.

I think your system may be hosed. Google for similar failed update experiences and see if there's a solution.

How do I dump it when I can't get my computer started? I'm not very computer savvy at all.

What are you using to post here?

There's instructions on the Ubuntu site to make a bootable thumb drive or cdrom/dvdrom if you have ever burned those.

I am guessing your windows installation is corrupt beyond repair, but maybe there's some trick to fixing it that I don't know about. Hence the suggestion you google for a fix.

If you have a windows CDROm, you can install from that if you want to keep windows.

Don't listen to Denny, he says that weird crap to everyone.

Hit the F8 key a few times right when you turn your computer on. It will eventually bring up a menu. Try to boot into safe mode. Then use system restore and restore your computer back to a week or two ago.

System restore back to yesterday. There is an option to get into it on boot up I believe. Or if it will go into Safe Mode then do that.

Try some of these options:

Good luck with that.

Sweet!!!! Thank you it worked. Now how do I go to system restore?

Ubuntu or OpenSUSE Linux. Take your pick, any of them would be a good choice for a tech beginner ... as long as you're willing to learn a little bit.

Ubuntu was also very nice when I got a couple of free older units from my employer, but they had to wipe the OS from the machines before I could take them home. Bootable USB stick is a piece of cake, and the installation process is pretty simple. Free tech rules.
