Windows 10 won't work [Please Help Me!]

[Shadd]

Update: I had already solved this problem a few years ago. Thanks for all the support! The problem was that when I tried running the x64 Windows 10 flash drive it kept on resuming from where it was last time rather than going to install a fresh new windows installation. The easy fix was to wipe the previous installation by running the x32 bit version of the installer and then trying again on the x64 bit version. The computer has been working fine without any issues since then.

[The Story Of How This Happened]
Don't worry about it.


[How You Could Help Me]
Nothing! The issue is resolved.

Use this media creation tool.
Install it onto a USB, use the 32-bit version.
Clean install it on your PC.

He only has a Chromebook he said he cant run .exe

Okay well your in a bit of a pickle.

First you need to put your Chromebook into developer mode.

1. Press and hold the Esc and Refresh keys together, then press the Power button (while still holding the other two keys). This will reboot your Chromebook into Recovery Mode.
2. As soon as you see Recovery Mode pop up—the screen with the yellow exclamation point—press Ctrl+D. This will bring up a prompt asking if you want to turn on Developer Mode.
3. Press Enter to continue, then give it some time. It'll pop up with a new screen for a few moments, then reboot and go through the process of enabling Developer Mode. This may take a little while (about 15 minutes or so), and will wipe your local information.
4. When it's done, it will return to the screen with the red exclamation point. Leave it alone until it reboots into Chrome OS.

Now after doing that there is a guide here on how to create a bootable usb drive http://askubuntu.com/questions/278403/how-do-you-make-usb-bootable-on-chromebook

You really don't have access to another Windows PC?
You can't go to a friend's or some other family's house to use a Windows PC?
Since your easiest solution is using the Windows 10 media creation tool.

Find any random windows pc (Or use a vm if chromebook can do that, idk lol) and run the media creation tool. There's your iso.

I don't think Chromebooks have a Virtualbox and probably most of them would not work with the USB Flash drive, but currently I have two ideas of how to get it back and fully working.

Ok, so I found a way to create a bootable USB through the terminal that the Chromebooks runs in (it uses a linux based terminal). So I first type in
cd /home/user/*/Downloads
then I type in
sudo dd if=NameOfIsoGoesHere.iso of=/dev/sdb

After I type that in it looks like it is not working, but leave it there for a while and then it would say it is done, but do not stop there (don't remove the USB either just yet). Now, wait a bit longer then the Chromebook would turn off and turn back on. When it turns back on you can take away the USB flash drive and then it would work this way (you can't use it unless you format it, I think windows can't format it, but I tried formatting it through Chromebook and it worked).

dd won't work for creating Windows USB installers. However, you could create an Ubuntu Live with dd, boot into it, then install winusb and go from there.

dd if=ubuntuiso of=/dev/sd* bs=4M && sync

* being your USB drive.

No, WinUSB does not work for me. My computer is not wanting to cooperate with me so what happens is that it turn on and after I try to boot into USB or just go ahead and wait for it to start, a black screen of death comes up, makes a weird sound at the same time it reboots and then it just starts all over. I am very sure it is a different problem having to do with the hard drive (I think I bricked it though).

Try to run an ubuntu live and start media creation tool will on Wine. I'm not sure it will work but you can always give a chance. If that does not work you have no choice but access to another windows PC.

Yeah, I tried accessing another windows PC, but I can't find one. I tried my brothers, but he is missing his charger and I tried my old windows vista computer, but it won't start windows (it just keeps on booting up and I did try to re-install windows vista on it too).

So then install Linux on it. Also, I don't understand why people buy Chromebooks. They seem like a waste of money to me.

They just get them because they are lightweight and they get the job done faster (if you do something like google docks). Anyways, I managed to get my computer fixed.
