Hey Murf, has the creators of ImgBurn cleaned up their act? If I remember right, they ruined a perfectly good program, by adding crap stuff to it, which put folks off from downloading/using it.

Hey Lufbra that computer is too far away for me to mess around with it. KUZZZ does a good enough job of getting into trouble.

Hey Tom
I ran into a similar problem with a neighbor's HP laptop that had 32GB of storage with Windows 10. I got her a flash drive to use to install programs onto, and leave plugged into the USB port. Finally she had enough of the beast, and bought an all in one which is something I wouldn't have recommended.

To make the USB Boot I went to Microsoft and down loaded the MediaCreationTool1909 and ran it and followed instruction for making the bootable USB to re-install windows 10

Well, if you did that you really should have creating a bootable flash drive that would have worked.

Beginning to think that that Acer explore beyond limits is the issue to deal with here. I'll have to get back with you on this when I look into it further.

The more I check on that Acer Explore Beyond Limits issue, the stranger this gets. My research has, to me, eliminated this being a RAM issue. So I was thinking of a drive replacement, but ran into this post. No drive at all installed, and still that beyond limits issue. I have to assume, since that person had been inside their laptop, they would have seen two drives, like described in that earlier link I posted (not yours - you only have one). One poster at a site said they solved the problem by pressing F12 at startup. but had to do that quite a few times before they got to some option where they could Recover the install. But they weren't quite clear on it. See what happens when you press F12 at bootup, but do try it a good few times, then post back please.

I tried F12 nothing happens and I tried well over 20 times. I can get past the Acer explore beyond limits by clicking F2 which takes me into cmos and I can get past Acer explore beyond limits by using alt F10and that takes me to the screen
Continue - exit and continue to windows 10
Troubleshoot
Turn off PC
If I choose exit and continue to windows 10 it takes me back to ACER explore beyond limits then it goes to a black screen, then a grey screen and back to ACER explore beyond limits again and just continues to loop.

Do you think I should change to Legacy?

For now kuzzz, anything you do might unglitch things, so try it. Though it may not actually say "legacy". Two weeks ago I helped some folks whose laptop kept going to the repair Windows or boot to Windows 10 screen, and the keyboard just would not work to make the choice. I ran the diagnostics option, and it unglitched the keyboard issue, though no idea why.

It is asking ror a bootable disk . I can run that software and have it make a ISO from microsoft for reinstalling win 10 but I don't know what to do with the ISO. Murf said I had to use some software to make the ISO into a installation disc. It wouldn't accept the flash drive as a bootable disk.
