So, I got an ASUS ROG laptop, and somewhere along the way in updating it and installing programs, I believe a bunch of stuff got corrupted. I keep getting C++ runtime errors, the Start menu won't open, Microsoft Edge won't open, etc.
I tried all the usual things. SFC /scannow (nothing found), chkdsk (nothing found), updating drivers, uninstalling/reinstalling the C++ libraries, etc. I finally gave up and tried to reset the PC several times, each time coming back with the error 'There was a problem resetting your PC'.
Then, it simply started telling me that it could not find the recovery environment.
So now, it appears I have no choice but to reinstall Windows 10 from my USB.
I have downloaded and run the Media Recovery Tool and now have Windows 10 on my USB. Now it's time to boot from it, but I'm getting closer to stuff that's above my pay grade. Where do I proceed from here?
I read a bunch of stuff about changing the boot menu from UEFI to Legacy, creating partitions using Disk Management, etc. Do I need to do all of that? (I'm not planning on running dual boot or any of that. My knowledge of that stuff is nonexistent.)
Also, assuming the clean reinstall goes well and everything is back to normal, are the native programs from ASUS (registration, ROG Aura, ROG Gaming Center, Vulkan runtime libraries, etc) readily available from ASUS? Anything I should be concerned about or need to search for to redownload?
I'm not completely naive, but I'm not a programmer or anything, so any advice or instruction that's in simple terms would be greatly appreciated. I've never done a reinstall of Windows and am really nervous.
Also, I'm assuming it's true that I don't need the product key, that it will automatically validate after reinstall ince it's connected to the internet? It's a laptop from Rent A Center; I don't have the product key or anything.
