Can you explain what situation you are in? What does the tablet do if you try to boot into Windows? What screens do you see or when does Windows stop booting?

Hello, thank you for your answer. When booting, i get the blue screen… std options are not available because it returns error in both options. If i try adavanced options, i am able to enter the command prompt but chkdsk fings many damaged sectors. But i don’t know how to open windows from there… as about images, i have the image on a usb key but it cannot read it… it seems it doesnt read the key (connectd by usb-c ) from the command prompt. Android is too old, i don’t need it anymore; i would like to format and reinstall win10 only but how to do it? Thank you.
