I have a laptop that seems to have crashed into Window PE recovery tools.
However every option regarding images, windows repair, system restore and rollback errors.
But I do have command line and thus I have tried:
x:\windows\system32> sfc /scannow
This results in usual "beginning system scan" and some time later gives:
Verification 100% complete
Windows Resource Protection could not perfrom the requested
It seems DISM /online is no go since /online refers to running Windows... And I get error that DISM /online is not available for Windows PE (which means I am indeed already using a kind of Windows pre installation recovery tool)
(I do not at hand have any Windows 10 media on USB at present)
My question is:
I am left in doubt if it is possible to still use DISM to maybe repair my Windows installation by downloading files online?
Or do I need to create a Windows 10 USB boot disk (no DVD drive in laptop) and start over? Will it recognize the Windows 10 key used in laptop it was born with when purchased?
