Windows 10: Unable to boot into safe mode or USB drive containing windows 10 installation

Well, I had a PC with nvidea graphics card runnning Windows 10. Then one day it started to hit max resolution of 800x600, disabling driver and using Microsoft basic driver. I decided to plug monitors into graphics dvi and hdmi on the motherboard. Both monitors worked fine but there was a third claimed wired graphics in Advanced graphics settings. I was determined to remove the third phantom monitor. Tried everything and in the end enabled original boot in MSCONFIG. Rebooting I lost output to monitors. After this I tried to start in Safe Mode switching off/restarting method but could not

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

How do I boot into Safe Mode on Windows 10?

Hi,

Based on the details provided on this thread, to access safe mode, kindly refer to the article entitled
"Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10".
Or better yet, you can boot from Windows 10 install media on a USB flash drive (or DVD) and access the Advanced options. To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Insert the USB or flash drive to your PC and restart.
  
• 
  The
  Windows Setup
  screen will pop up, select
  language and click on
  Next.
  
• 
  Choose
  Repair your computer.
  
• 
  Select
  Troubleshoot.
  
• 
  Click on
  Advanced options
  
• 
  Choose
  Command Prompt
  and enter the following commands:
  
  • 
    bootrec /scanos
    
  • 
    bootrec /fixMBR
    
  • 
    bootrec /fixBoot
    
  • 
    bootrec /rebuildBCD
    
• 
  Restart PC and see if there are any changes.
  

Let us know how it goes.
