>>158077>If you cannot get into either OS, then yes, you're fucked and will lose everythingNo, you'll only do that if you're a stoopid idiot and listen to /g/ and format the disk for no reason.
There's only one reason you should ever format a disk: you believe the filesystem is irreparably damaged. If that's not the case, don't fucking format it.
Clean install of any Vista-era Windows will *MOVE*, not delete your existing Windows installs. It moves them into \Windows.OLD, and if you're not a complete retard you can move them out again and boot them.
>>158086>What exactly would i put on it?The free "Windows 10 Media Creation Tool" can wipe a USB and make it into a Windows 10 installer, or it can create a Windows 10 installer ISO file for you to use yourself.
>Are you sure? Also, asking as a newfag, does burning an iso onto a usb render the usb unusable for storageYes. It overwrites the USB at a low-level, and anything that was on it is now overwritten.
If you've got ~5GB free on the USB, you could instead put the ISO *file* onto the USB, then use Easy2Boot to boot it. It'd be better to just go buy a fresh USB. They're what, $10?
>>158019OP, you are truly an idiot, and over your head, but all is not lost. The important thing is that you now stop rushing about and stop making the situation worse, and solve the problem in a systematic manner.
Calm down.
Breathe.
Now go get a new USB stick, and use a working PC and the Windows 10 media creation tool to make it into a Windows 10 installer. Go borrow a USB keyboard.
Boot the windows 10 installer, and press shift-F10. This will open a command prompt, which you can use to explore how fucked/not-fucked the computer is.
Don't make any changes at this point, just explore what's there and see what's what.
One or more of your operating systems may be inside a \Windows.OLD . This folder contains the entire OS and program files, but you need to know what to move to where if you're planning on restoring it.
