Hiren updated to Win10 too. Have a look: Hiren's BootCD PE[^]
Quote: Hiren’s BootCD PE (Preinstallation Environment) is a restored edition of Hiren’s BootCD based on Windows 10 PE x64
only problem...Quote: It is being developed for the new age computers, it supports UEFI booting and requires minimum 2 GB RAM.
What I do like most... the old versions list
Old Versions – Hiren's BootCD PE[^]
Kudos for the people supporting the project.

Thank you, I gave up checking a couple of years ago.

Outside of what has been suggested above, remove the SSD and switch on the laptop to see what happens

I saw a new Dell with a small SSD and a larger spinner.
If you have two drives, yes the boot is going to be the ssd.
These are very temporary growing pains as I saw a 500gb ssd for 47 bucks on sale.
It's the end of the mechanical HD. It's been a good run all the way back to the RK05 but good reddens.

I was going to say "if I had such a machine I'd be tempted to change the spinner to SSD"
but on second thoughts forget the temptation, just do it.

I recently replaced the spinner in my wife's HP all-in-one with a SSD. I was surprised to find a 16GB SSD mounted on the board, apparently only used for cache. I never saw any indication that it helped anything. That 5+ y/o machine was always really slow. The new SSD and fresh Windows made all the difference as it's now < 10 seconds from power on to Google.

Yeah, this is what I am not sure of, whether the SSD is just cache, or is the actual boot device.
It shows, in Hierans boot CD in a disk scan tool as an unmounted device, it does show up in BIOS as a disk device.
The terrabyte disk is mounted, but the disk manager shows some odd partitions, it was partitioned up into
windows 10, windows 7, data, linux, android,
It seems as if the windows 10, what was the original disk boot partition, has lost its MBR.
(I later put on an Ubuntu MBR on this disk, and it then booted either Ubuntu, windows 10, or windows 7).
All my data is backed up on a terabyte external USB disk, so I might just get the rescue iso off Dell, and reset the system to its original format, booting windows 10, and running ubuntu and android off VMs. Probably easiest. THe Dell hardware check, long version, didnt report any hardware issues, so it looks like the disks are OK, just the MBR got trashed.

Windows 10 updates will trash MBR's it doesn't understand, here's just one ref: dual boot - Windows 10 update broke my MBR / GRUB - Ask Ubuntu[^]
A better way to go would be install ubuntu (dell even do this themselves in some of their laptops) and run win 10 & 7 out of VM's - more stable and less worries that win updates will mess up vm settings / connectivity or even scan and decide it's suspicious.

THats a possible. Right now I just need another windows 10 machine on the C drive that I can use for testing some driver dev work.

Sometimes on the flow. when you type a message, I end up insanely repeating a particular word, accidentally. When I read the message again, after a while. It looks so strange & I rush to edit/normalize it.
For example,
Boss,
Let me know if there's any change in priorities in my task list for this week.
Also please review the priorities for the backlog work items, waiting for this.
Based on the priority marked, I'll rush to map them to upcoming sprints.
Getting the tasks planned for next sprint is top priority! need to complete this before team completes current sprint.
Okay, this above message is just an example.
When I'm involved in typing the message, I don't see the weirdness. But when I get back and read it again.  there's a hell lot of "priorities".
Thanks to the messaging Apps that lets me edit & apply the patch quick.

When I do that, I often add another paragraph after it:
Priorities (in case I missed one).
So far, I've only got one e-mail from one colleague doing the same, but these things catch on.

When I get a message like this, I put the repetitions in bold and send it back to the original sender.
