Introduction:
After months of research and development, both hardware and software... I'm happy to announce UnBrickable Mod is a matter of modifing your phone once, with a single small wire. From that point on, you can click a button to unbrick. This can even be applied to a phone which is already bricked.
This video applies, but on the Fascinate, you must hold the POWER button during the entire flashing sequence.
Instructions
You Must have UnBrickable Mod applied to your device. If you're not sure, run this tool under Linux: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434
This currently only works for Linux based computers or Windows based computers with proper drivers installed, with a Linux Virtual Machine, Get Ubuntu here: http://www.ubuntu.com , Get Virtualbox Here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
You must have Java installed on your computer: http://www.java.com/en/download/
Unbricking:
1. Apply UnBrickable Mod to your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288093
2. Run ModeDetect to verify your phone is in the proper mode: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434
You should see this while you hold the power button:
3. Run UnBrickable Resurrector: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=710199&stc=1&d=1315173984 This will only work on linux currently. Install Linux or dual boot if you have windows.
If you are still holding the power button, you should see this on Mode Detect.
You can now disconnect your phone and move to a windows computer to use Odin or any other Samsung tool, or use Heimdall One-Click from Linux. Keep holding the power button!
4. Run Heimdall One-Click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288130 (or odin3 one-click),
5. repeat steps 2 and 3 with bootloader flashing enabled (Heimdall One-Click has a safety mechanism which requires you to flash once before flashing bootloaders).
conclusion
You've unbricked the unbrickable Fascinate.. This should not have been difficult. If it was, you should learn teh computer better... Really. And with that said, I'm happy to announce that you no longer have to flash with a fear of bricking.
HIBL
The HIBL is the key to resurrecting a S5PC110 based processor. I'm going to let Rebellos explain the inner workings of the Hummingbird Interceptor Bootloader. It's really quite amazing. While my work is more hardware and high level tasks like making things into one-clicks, Rebellos' work involves reverse software engineering, assembly language, and more...

6SEP11: removed additional commands

Okay, so, what is Hummingbird Interceptor Boot Loader (HIBL)?
Basically: It allows to load any amount of data (limited by size of RAM block, the biggest one single block available is 256MB) through USB connection with PC under any specified address into memory and then execute it. This can be fastboot Bootloader+OS image for example.
Technically: It does consist of 2 pieces fused together - BL1_stage1 and BL1_stage2.
Each stage starts from 16bytes (4 ARM WORDs) of secure boot header. In stage1 these are mandatory, in stage2 they can be random (nulled them in my code), so EntryPoint of each stage does start at its 0x10 offset.
BL1_stage1, loaded under 0xD0020000 address, is short code, digitally signed by Samsung. It has been released to break "Chain of Trust" and alter Secure Boot into Non-Secure Boot process. Literally stage1 just do some compare operations and then jumpout to BL1_stage2. (Yes, I also see no point of releasing hardware secured CPU version together with software which is bypassing it's security)
BL1_stage2, must be placed at 0xD0022000 address (it's fused together with stage1 into HIBL, so it's at 0x2000 offset of HIBL.bin) it is unsigned because Secure Boot Context, prepared by iROM (BL0) has been already ignored by stage1.
Its FASM_ARM sourcecode:
http://code.google.com/p/hummingbir...unk/HummingBirdInterceptorBootloader/HIBL.ASM
This is where the code start real work, it does begin with standard ARM core jump vector table (just to keep stick to standard, these aren't used anyway).
1. It does use I9000 BL1_stage2 functions (init_system) which I linked to it, these are used to init DMC controllers, as to this point code is executing in and working with very tiny, 96KB iRAM space, after calling this function it turns all 512MB of RAM available.
2. Make sure DMC is configured properly (write some value to address 0x40~~ memory space, then read it and compare with previously written)
3. Reinit iRAM heap to the BL0 initial state (to convince it USB dload mode haven't been called yet), by storing and restoring UART pointer only (to keep debug output flowing properly)
4. Call iROM usb_downloader function.
5. Read the address where downloaded data has been placed.
6. Jump into this address.
This, properly used provides similiar debug output (similiar, because its outdated testlog)

Will a Wubi install of linux work? Certain windows programs prevent me from making the jump to linux again. Though I wish i could.

Yes. You can use WUBI. That is the same as normal "side-by-side" or "dual boot" installation of Ubuntu but you can delete Ubuntu from within Windows.
Note: The hardware mod must be performed first in order to use the set of software above
I was informed last night that this is the ONLY recovery method available for the Fascinate. If you've got a dead brick, you have no other options at this time other then sending it to the manufacturer for a replacement.

How to remove Enterprise Enrolment from Acer C720 (and other chromebooks) [GUIDE]

Stuck with a enterprise managed Chromebook bought second hand and unable to remove it? Here is how to 'Remove Enterprise Enrollment' from Acer C720 Chromebook (and will work for others also)
The procedure is as follows (for a Acer C 720 Chromebook) however it is the exact same for most other models the only differing part is location of the read/write screw.
Step 1: Turn off Chromebook, unplug and remove all the screws from the base.
Step 2: Remove the base off and locate the read/write protection screw
Here it is on the C720 at location 7:

}
Step 3: Screw the base on with one screw (because there is a pressure switch that won't let you start it up without having the base on)
Step 4: Plug in and go into Recovery mode (Hold Esc + Reload and press the power key). Release keys when you see the screen light up.
You'll see "Chrome OS is missing or damaged" screen
Step 5: Press Ctrl + D then enter
You'll see "Chrome OS verification is turned off"
Step 6: Press Ctrl + D and the CB will restart into developer mode.
Note: If it tells you administrator has disabled developer mode perform a hard reset by unplugging the battery internally in the device, disconnecting the power and holding down the power button for 60 seconds.
Step 7: Once in developer mode (it'll give you a warning screen then continue to boot up as usual after a few beeps) Press the keys Ctrl+Alt+-> (F2) to launch terminal
Step 8: Enter the following commands:
chronos
sudo su
vpd -l (display serial number and device info)
vpd -s “serial_number”=”0000000000X” (write serial #, can replace 0000000000X with anything you like) must be all CAPS and numbers.
(takes about 15 seconds)
vpd -l (to check change is successful as it doesn't give you any confirmation)
Step 9: Reassemble with all screws incl read/write. Reboot and turn OS verification back on.
Step 10: Enjoy your non enterprise enrolled C720 (or other) chromebook.
Step ?: (optional if you are getting error flashromPartialWrite() clean the contacts that were under the screw with isopropyl alcohol or meths to make sure there is no continuity between the points from wear.

I'm going to answer this a bit late in case anyone else has this question...
The R/W screw needs to be off until you are ready to put your laptop back together. (after all, you want to be able to write to bios and the screw in place will prevent this)
Doesn't work
hOW CAN YOU REMOVE THE ENTERPRISE ENROLLMENT FROM AN ACER C910
How do you do that on a c730
Version 5.4
Here I am in 2017 will be trying this on a c740 in the near future. Thank you for the guide
is this possible on a hp chromebook 11 g4, if so wher eis the read/write screw located?
I cant't get the administrator has disabled developer mode page. I have tried removing the battery as suggested and had no success.
Same!! Trying soo hard to find a solution
So, I have a Toshiba Chromebook 2. I found it has 2 screws for write protection. Removed them both, no change, I still get the developer mode disabled by the administrator message. Can`t do anything on it. Is there a custom OS I can install over the existing one so I can at least get developer mode enabled?
I have an Acer C731. I opened it up and tried to do a hard reset by unplugging the battery, with no luck. As soon as the Chromebook was connected to Wi-Fi it enrolled under administration. I also was not able to locate the R/W screw in this particular model. Help please?

Yes on my Asus CN60 chromebox, the r/w screw is screwed onto the motherboard, onto a solder pad that is a semi-circle split into two quadrants. The presence of the screw joins the two quadrants to emulate a PC jumper in the closed position.
To open this jumper, simply undo the screw all the way out and keep it safe outside of the box. Once this is done, the boot SSD is r/w, which then allows the developer mode process be able to commit its changes to the boot device.
On my Asus CN60, I think I have cleared the Enterprise enrolement by having the two items present whilst doing the power on with Recovery Button pressed.
- R/W screw removed.
- CMOS battery CR-2025 unplugged.
I am going to keep trialing. If the above has not worked, I am going to try the OP's vpd -s “serial_number”=”0000000000X” method.
ASIDE: I am going to keep a note of the serial number I am overwriting in case this is of any future use.
The reason why I say I think I have removed the enterprise enrolement, is before, I could not login at all. Now, whilst in the developer mode, I can now login using my normal non enterprise login.
I have yet to boot into a normal non developer mode if possible, and see if I can login there.
I've bypassed enterprise enrollment so I can login and use the chromebook normally, but I wasn't able to locate the r/w screw so I can move forward with installing Linux.

how did you go about getting past the "administrator has disabled developer mode" part, or did you have to? i am stuck on that part.
I have an HP Chromebook 14 G4 and followed the tutorial perfectly. I still can't get past the "The administrator has disabled developer mode" bs. Any help?
Request
Can you please make a guide on how to do this with an acer c740 with specifucs on how to do so if the administrator has disabled dev mode?

How do I unenroll an acer C732 with dev mode blocked?
does this still work?

[Q] Project Renegade: Windows ARM64 on dipper (Mi 8) - Boot Partition: None

Hi,my first post on this forum, already with a problem of booting Win11 image from partition created on Mi 8 (NTFS partition).
I was guided by those three sources :
1) Original project Renage installation guide:
Renegade Project
Renegade Project
renegade-project.org
BTW Xiaomi Mi 8 is on supported decives list: https://renegade-project.org/#/en/windows/state-frame.html
2) this yt wideo about installing Win 11 on Mi 8 (unfortunately, in Russian and the youtuber is showing some tips too fast, so I had to slow it down to 0.25 in some parts)
3) yt tutorial about installing Win 11 on OnePlus 6T
So, I have manage to remove and create userdata partition, I have eacreated smaller userdata partion with 30 GB instead of 100-ish something GB,
I have created also \pe partition for WinPE boot (works from UEFI boot), \win (formatted in NTFS) with about 70-something GB, and ESP partition in FAT32.
The UEFI Boot for Mi 8 (device code: dipper) is not installed on the device, I am booting it by flashing it via fastboot (single time, the normal boot image on the device is still genuine boot.img from Xiaomi).
So, just like in the beforementioned guides / tutorials, I am able to boot WinPe (part English, part Chinese), able to start DISM+, able to open prepared Win11 disk (tried either on whole image or n single .wim file) and then:
1) I am asked for choosing a disk to install Win11;
2) I choose \win parttion in NTFS
3) I see window titled 'Bootmgr Repair-UEFI' with a message: 'Boot Partition: None Click more to specify it manually
4) If I choose NTFS partition, I see windwos titled "Tips" with message "If you boot with UEFI, it needs a FAT16/ FAT32 partition
5) I choose ESP Partition https://www.diskpart.com/articles/efi-system-partition-4348.html, install it, then install drivers; enabling Enable Test-Signing mode and reboot device with shutdown -s -t 0
After installation I reboot application -> no UEFI boot so i go to fastboot mode (by combinatin of buttons) from my PC i flash uefi dipper img i choose pption with Windws Bootloader from UEFI boot option, I am waiting and after a lot of time i see that there was a problem with installation of Windows.
What I am doing wrong here? Any thoughts?

I know I'm late but I got past this point by running DISM++ on a computer instead of the device itself using mass storage mode described on https://wiki.renegade-project.cn/en/install. It was enabled for dipper in one of the RC of the uefi boot image.
I am however stuck at a blue screen where it just says my device ran into a problem and need to restart
@h9419 hi, sorry for being late, but I've manage to go further steps with help on the Renegade Forum:
Open config '\simpleinit.static.uefi.cfg' failed. Not found. Config: load failed. device: Mi 8 dipper
Hi folks, I have installed win10 on my Mi 8 with drivers, but when I try to boot I see only K letter in a blue circle logo and message: main:initialize simple imp Open config ‘simpleinit.static.uefi.cfg’ failed. Not found Config: load failed and I’m going back to boot menu Besides of that I...
forum.renegade-project.tech
However, I have stuck now with blue screen and error:
"Your PC/Device needs to be repaired
The operating system couldn t be loaded because the digital signature of a file or of its dependencies couldn’t be verified
File:
\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\qcpil850.inf_arm64_51d4efc7c44baa30\qcpil.850.sys

I've received there some advice:"
If you flashed devcfg properly, you won’t get DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG anymore
If you successfully disabled testsigning and nointegritychecks using bcdedit, you won’t get 0xc0000428
Don’t use drivers from sdm845-drivers. They won’t work."
So I have checked testsigning and nointegritychecks using bcdedit:
Even after flashing fastboot flash devcfg_ab devcfg-dipper_FixTS.img
I still see “Open config ‘\simpleinit.static.uefi.cfg’ failed. Not found. Config: load failed”
DisableIntegrityChecks is set to True
and AllowPrereleaseSignatures also to True, but under BcdStore\Loaders\WindowsSetup
under {bootmgr} it’s only DisableIntegrityChecks, but without AllowPrereleaseSignatures
I’m a rookie regarding bcedit so I used Visual BCD Editor, should I add something in {bootmgr} or {bootloadersettings}? to the {bootloadersettings} I have no access from Visual BCD
obraz1035×475 149 KB
I see structure of this partition like this:
BTW via Mass Storage mode I have access to the esp partition stored here via Windows64 as I:\ and with Visual BCD editor I have an option to ‘repair bcd’ but I don’t know what this can done, so I don’t touch it
obraz851×486 71.3 KB
I am not sure if windows disk and BCD are connected here
obraz850×484 113 KB
@Vistulack I got it to work a few months ago after joining the telegram channel. My process is about as follows:
1. Dism++ clean install
2. Dism++ driver injection (I used dipper driver 1.1.1)
3. Dism++ disable
testsigning and nointegritychecks
4. Boot into fastboot to flash devcfg (re-flash it after every install, before trying to boot)
5. Flash boot image 1.1.1 (same version as driver) to recovery
6. Boot to recovery to boot windows, reboot to get android
Others have success with 2.0rc2 but I'm happy with 1.1.1. USB, cellular, wifi, Bluetooth screen brightness and touch screen works. Built in audio and accelerometer doesn't. USB C to 3.5mm DAC makes audio work and CH340 driver for Arduino knockoffs works.
Update:
thanks to @h9419 i have managed to succesfully install Win 11 on Mi 8
To sum up:
This time I have install drivers in ver. 1.1.1 https://github.com/edk2-porting/WOA-Drivers/releases/tag/v1.1.1
and after installation of dism I have used not only:
bcdedit /store Y:\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd /set {Default} testsigning on
bcdedit /store Y:\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd /set {Default} nointegritychecks on
but also :
bcdedit /store Y:\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd /set {Default} recoveryenabled no
Also I wouldn't recommend using Windows 10 home, as screen keyboard wasn't working there; I came across error:
C:\Windows\system32\osk.exe
A referal was returned from the server
This error wasn't seen on Windows 11 Pro
During install, I had also a problem with WiFi connections, but after putting mobile in the near of router I was able to connect (this issue camu up only during setting account)
Anyways, now I have other problem.
If I press turn off while charging, either from Windows or bootloader level, I end up back in bootloader menu, without knowing what is the battery level is (in Windows is still shows 0%, which is odd, because phone is still running).
Now I need to check how to enable turning phone off when charging (or put it into charging mode, with only battery level shown).
EDIT: ok, it looks like the best mode to charge the phone is setting it to recovery mode.
If anyone was interested with installing some old apps build on Net Framework 2.0 or 3.5, it looks like it will not work on arm64 architectue.
After installing one of such apps, I saw and error
The following feature couldn't be installed:
.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)
The changes couldn't be completed. Please reboot your computer and try again.
Error code: 0x80240023
I have tried to fix it using advices from this video
and managed to formally 'install' Net 3.5 by script in PowerShell from sxs folder copied into TEMP folder but now the app is showing message:
"An error occurred:
System.NullReferenceException: Object not set to an instance of an object."
So it looks like it won't work (or maybe on some Virtual Machine build on arm64 for i.e Win Xp or Win7, but it maybe an overkill...)

Question There is a problem with the computer I'm using

My dear users,
As soon as I ran TronScript (r/tronscript) with the auto restart option, I received a message stating that Windows could not boot. After loading Hiren's Boot CD into my Ventoy drive, it now says "Your PC could not start properly" with error code 0x0000001.
The following are the contents of my Ventoy drive:
A boot CD for Hiren is included,
This is HP.
Windows 11 Installation media.
I would appreciate any help you could provide to fix my computer as soon as possible.

Run Startup Repair from a recovery disc. If you do not have a recovery disc, you can use installation media.
By means of RUFUS create a bootable USB-stick containing the Windows version / edition you want to have installed and boot from USB-stick created to install it.
Since you have Ventoy, you could try booting from the Hiren live CD and try to download a fresh copy of Win11 over wayback (if your pc has nothing of important in it), even tho firsthand it could be better to get another spare usb stick and flash Ventoy on it all over again and then paste the win11 iso file over the brand new usb stick.
In case there's personal data you'd like to save over the C:/ drive, using any linux live usb iso could be of help on mounting the partition and save whatever you could find on another removable media.
Wondering why Hiren’s BootCD PE (Preinstallation Environment) should get used: it's based on Windows 10 PE x64. There are no official updates after November 2012.

If that won't go (also, disregarding the whole update cycle...i'm sure 2012 wasn't even the date of release for win10, let alone a forked version), then a linux live usb iso should directly be of help.
Updates, EOLs versions, and whatever stay out of the question since here it's about restoring a pc to it's former state.
Since it's all a matter to use the ruined machine's specs as a host for running a live iso and grab a win11 iso off the internet and drag it on another usb flash drive (with Ventoy installed aswell):
then what matters is that the machine gets saved and that win11 gets restored back.
IMO it never does make sense to make use of a Windows Recovery Environment ( WinRE ) - what Hiren's PE by nature is - to repair a corrupted Windows OS, because user most times doesn't know 1. what the error code reported by Windows means - as that's the case here, and 2. what 3rd-party app of those dozens that came bundled with Hiren's PE ( see here: https://www.hirensbootcd.org/hbcd-v120/ ) lastly to use to fix the given problem : Re-installing Windows OS from the scratch is the only time-saving method I know of to immediately have a properly running Windows machine. And this is correctly done by a Windows Preinstallation Environment ( WinPE ) what supports these features
Batch files and scripts, including support for Windows Script Host (WSH), and ActiveX Data Objects (ADO), and optional support for PowerShell.
Applications, including Win32 application programming interfaces (APIs) and optional support for HTML Applications (HTA).
Drivers, including a generic set of drivers that can run networking, graphics, and mass storage devices.
Image capturing and servicing, including Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM).
Networking, including connecting to file servers using TCP/IP and NetBIOS over TCP/IP via LAN.
Storage, including NTFS, DiskPart, and BCDBoot.
Security tools, including optional support for BitLocker and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), Secure Boot, and other tools.
Hyper-V, including VHD files, mouse integration, mass storage and network drivers that allow Windows PE to run in a hypervisor.
and more aren't in fact needed.
Better going straight to the point and reinstall win11 fresh (like i mentioned before) since the message given by OP's machine just went:
"Your PC could not start properly"
Since OP did mention it has a "Windows 11 Installation media" inside their Ventoy stick, they could try to solve it that way by doing the whole booting process again.
If the Installation Media won't go, then it's better taking a win11 .iso on the go (of course, again, using a spare usb. Would spare making this message longer).

As I can see the versions 2012 and/or 2021 - you linked to - differ only in amount of bundled 3rd-party progs ( mostly freeware ). But this wasn't the point.
Hello,
As soon as I also ran TronScript (r/tronscript) with the auto restart option, I received a message stating that Windows could not boot. After loading Hiren's Boot CD into my Ventoy drive, it now says "Your PC could not start properly" with error code 0x00001.
Error code 0x00001 ( 0x0000001 ? ) usually occurs when Windows PC users attempt to update or install a Windows OS on their devices. Make use of the Windows built-in System File Checker function to deal with your issue.

A WinPE ( read: Minimal OS designed to prepare a computer for installation and servicing Windows ) that needs at minimum 2GB available RAM to run? A joke, isn't it?
Microsoft states that only 1 GB available RAM is suffiicient to successfully run a WinPE.
The Hirens PE promoted here by nature isn't a Windows Pre Installation Environment ( WinPE ), but a Wndows Recovery Environment ( WinRE ). IMO it's overloaded with a collection of 3rd-party windows applications one mostly doesn't need.
For Windows 11 users - this forum got created for:
If you use this Hirens PE to launch Windows Setup ( setup.exe ) you must add the WinPE-WMI and WinPE-SecureStartup optional components. If you don't include these optional components, you may see an error that your PC doesn't meet the minimum hardware requirements.
Amazing to see this and to see that it is still somewhat still being developed & continued by other users contributing! I remember the original release of this software fondly and it has been most helpful.
One thing I would suggest that I wish was available with the original release is making an installer or proper boot image set-up specifically for flash drives. Although many PC's still have disc drives, most current laptops do not. I mean, I was able to use the .iso image and create using software that makes .iso bootable off of flash drives, but that was rather more trouble than I would have liked and is probably pretty complicated for most novice users. Also, processing off of flash drives is faster than optically from discs...
At 2.8GB you're better off with a VHDX-boot USB and get the full Windows experience (everything just works). The hdd and imaging tools aren't what they used to be when you take into account Windows' built-in tools. Can't find a drive smaller than 32GB in stores anymore, basically the whole point of this became moot years back.

cant boot into windows?

so i have windows 11 on the drive that came with it. but i wanted Linux on there as well so i put POP OS on my secondary drive but i didn't put the home partition. so whenever i try to boot into windows it boots into the next device on the list. i reformatted the SSD and Linux is gone and it doesn't show up in bios anymore but I still cant get into windows. is there any way to fix this without losing any of the accounts on my laptop and any apps and files either? if not ill just reinstall windows. also the files are still there becuase i can use ventoy to search and boot into windows
Use your installation media to boot into rescue mode. From there you should be able to repair your boot path. Use Google to find more information on this.
So you need First Space for Windows 11 UEFI and Space for Linux and SWAP Partition!!! When ya have it you can Download BCD_&_BOOT First the Universal_USB_Installer.exe and Run it and choose your Linux Distro and the ISO File you have to make a Bootable USB Setup Device!!!When you would know i can explain CMD Method to do so!!! when ya have Finished the Process, youre Ready to Boot your Linux to Install from USB!!!Do so, boot from USB!!!Start your Install and Finish it!! at grub2 Setup it Automaticly add all OSs to grub2 so the Linux with Options and the Windows Bootmanager!!! So That means from grub2 you can start Linux and Windows Bootmanager!!!Thats the grub2 First and when you start Windows Bootmanager the Windows starts!! Thats a Option to Use it, in past it was possibile with EASYBCD to add Linux grub2 Entry to BCD so that you can start from grub2 and boot to Bootmanager and go back to grub2...........endless!!!
The Easier Method is!!!
BCD_&_BOOT Download AIO_BOOT.zip
Make Space for Windows/Multiboot/Linux/Swap!!
so it means create with diskmgr or diskpart a Primary Partition "Multiboot" with 25-*GB Space on it!!!
than Extract AIO_BOOT.zip to Partition "Multiboot" so you have the Files at root.
than start "Multiboot" AIOCreator.exe and choose "Bootloaders" and klick GRUB2 and Install it!!
After That goto "Integration" and choose "Rubrik" than the "Version" and than select the ISO File!!!
Klick OK and wait if the Process Finished!!!
Congratulations you added your First Option
Now redo the Steps to add so many ISOs like Linux/Windows/Android/RescueLiveCDs/BackUp,etc..... to add this at Multiboot Options at Start!!!
So close the AIOCreator.exe and start your PC new into BIOS and select the First Boot Device to the Multiboot Partition!!
when its Start correct you seen all added ISOs you can start to LiveCD or Install,and search 4 Grub to start Linux,and start Windows from HDD to start Windows!!!
Its one of the Best Multiboot Solutions i have found on InterWebZ!!!
My Config looks so

Why not make use of Windows 11 inbuilt native Linux named WSL2?
How to install Linux WSL2 on Windows 10 and Windows 11
The latest version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux is a significant upgrade; for most, it's now easier than ever to install.

Yes iam do this is a alternative but its not the same as the installed Linux distro, and the Virtual maschine processes take ca 2gb on memory without using it in Windows so says my TaskManager List, Sortet to Biggest Memory use!!! and ya can use Android via WSL2 but its too not the same as the Live/Installed Android Version!!! Windows has made a good working CrossPlatform with it!!!but WSL2 Linux is only NonGUI and Text based but i like the GUI in specially i use Kali-Linux wile it is Debian Based!!!The Android Apps ya can use with WSL2 Android are good shared at WindowsMenu and works Fine!!!In the End I Like the GUI with LiveCD/Installed Version than its what it is a non Windows OS based SystemSoftware that must be stand alone, so iam think!!!
If the computer can boot to Windows successfully after removing the new hardware, try installing the hardware again. If the problem persists, the hardware likely is incompatible or defective. If there is no new hardware in the computer and the computer cannot boot to Windows, continue to the next section below.
Activate restore point
If Windows restore points were created, you could try to activate a restore point before the Windows boot issue started to occur. Since Windows is not booting normally, you can try accessing Safe Mode to activate a restore point.
Open the Safe Mode menu.
Select the Safe Mode with Command Prompt option in the menu.
At the command prompt, type rstrui.exe and press Enter.
Follow the instructions and prompts provided to find and activate a restore point before Windows started having issues booting to Windows normally.
If activating a restore point does not work to fix the Windows boot problem, or there are no restore points available, try the Windows Repair process.
