HELP! My refurbished HP Elitebook 840 G1 laptop cannot run Windows 10. Inaccessible Boot Device error.

Subject: HELP! My refurbished HP Elitebook 840 G1 laptop cannot run Windows 10. Inaccessible Boot Device error.


Good day from Singapore,


I have just bought a refurbished HP Elitebook 840 G1 laptop on 30 Dec 2020. The seller had installed a fresh new copy of Windows 10 Pro version 1803 for me. When I went home, I formatted the laptop and installed Windows 10 Pro version 20H2.


Within a few minutes, my laptop will freeze. I always get BSOD with Inaccessible Boot Device error whenever I tried to reboot my laptop.


I think the problem is documented. Please refer to the following discussion thread.


Topic: Inaccessible Boot Device Windows 10

Link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-and-Recovery/Inaccessible-Boot-Device-Windows-10/td-p/6512871


I have yet to read the above discussion thread carefully.


After hitting the wall with Windows 10 Pro version 20H2, I formatted my laptop again. This time I installed Windows 10 Pro version 1809 instead. The same thing happened again. My laptop would freeze after some Windows Updates. Then I would get BSOD with Inaccessible Boot Device error whenever I tried to restart my laptop.


It seems that the problem has nothing to do with my harddisk at all. I realize that I will get the problem after some Windows Update, which causes the BSOD with Inaccessible Boot Device error.


Recognising that my refurbished laptop could not run Windows 10 at all, I downloaded and installed Fedora Workstation 33 Linux.


For the past few days, my refurbished laptop with Fedora Workstation 33 Linux has been working well without any problems. This confirmed that my harddisk does not have any issues because harddisk tests (SMART and Short Drive Self Test) confirmed that my harddisk is in working condition.


I still need Windows 10 because some applications, like video editing software, require it.


Could you help me to get Windows 10 to run on my refurbished HP Elitebook 840 G1 laptop?


Thank you very much.

Subject: [24 Mar 2022 Thursday] Erectile Dysfunction and Viagra I have erectile dysfunction due to taking medications for mental illness (schizophrenia). Without Viagra, my penis is soft like jelly most of the time. There is no way I can penetrate a woman’s vagina due to erectile dysfunction. Today is the very 1st time I am taking Viagra. It allows my penis to remain hard and fully erected for 2 solid hours during sexual intercourse. Thanks Viagra! I can finally have sex! I am already 44 years old. What am I missing out in life?????? Do I still qualify to be a Japanese Adult Video (JAV) porn star actor???????? Link:  https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10158113552827735&id=646397734
