I guess I'll buy a new laptop eventually. Thanks, everyone.

Hey Q, I know a guy who might be able to return some karma and help you out.
Shoot me an email if you are interested and let's see if we can revive this for the better even if you get a new one or not.
Karma doesn't always have to be a bitch.

Was your machine originally a win8 machine or a win 7 machine? Win10 has some pretty significant HW requirements that an older machine will not be able to meet.

My guess is it's failing because it doesn't meet the minimum hw requirements for win10.

Not likely, more like corruption of files or bad hardware like memory or hard drive.
