No surprise, in Dutch GAP means something like 'filch'

If you slip over to QA you will find many, many gaps.

How true. No cure for that, i fear. My noob gap existed only for one post or two, then I got a real warm welcome from some guy from Texas. Spent enough time there and I instantly felt right at home.

There’s no special forum for English-speakers either. Get over yourself.

So threads in German, or any other non-English language, will be welcomed in this forum?
I guess a lot of native English speakers would be rather annoyed if the distribution of languages in the forum got anywhere close to the distribution of languages in the world.
As always: "Neutral" is the way I want it.

Sure, but they'll be mostly ignored... CP is vastly English-oriented. Articles, tips, questions, etc must be posted in English, so be my guest, and waste your time if you want...

A: American. 
We don't have to speak multiple languages.
I took French in high school (almost 50 years ago), but I retained almost none of it due to lack of use. Besides, the term "Welcome to Texas" doesn't (and probably *shouldn't*) have a direct translation in any other language.

Quote: "Welcome to Texas"
Does this help?
"Bienvenue au Texas. N'oubliez pas de garder vos armes chargées à tout moment."

We say "Welcome to Texas", and assume that you understand what we're sayin'... Besides, you're coming to Texas, most likely without being directly invited. You should already know the f*ckin language...

I've had this laptop for a few years and just recently bought it from my former employer.
When I quit that job last week they had to wipe my computer, which should've been as easy as restoring an image.
Except the image wasn't found, everything went awry, they had to download a new bootable drive, and I had to wait for four hours instead of the usual 20 minutes.
And now it just won't boot correctly.
When I turn it on it often hangs in a black screen which only a hard reset will solve.
The seconds time it takes one to two minutes to boot instead of the usual ten to twenty seconds.
I did some diagnostics checks, but everything seems to be OK...
There's nothing at startup that could take such a time.
I'm on the latest updates of both Dell and Windows.
And now it hangs on the installation of a (really very latest) Windows update at 61% 
I'm a bit out of options and I'm considering doing another fresh install...

Option 7 didn't work.
Option 6 gives me an error in de Dell OS Recovery Tool: Sorry. An error occurred while extracting image file W52RRA04_w10x64ROW_pro.iso. Please check the file and try again.
No amount of Googling seems to provide an answer.
I can't even find the file on my computer.
I've tried getting it from their support site, but I don't see any iso images.
Everywhere I visit they recommend the OS Recovery Tool, which gives me an error 
I'm sure my computer was re-installed using a Dell image though.
Perhaps not the right one... I can't find it anyway.
Perhaps I should just ignore Dell and go right for Download Windows 10[^]?

Another thing you might try is lazesoft-recovery-suite[^]
It seems to have Windows 10 repair options and can fix a PC that won't boot.

Whenever I get a new (or "reconditioned") personal computer, I always do a fresh install of the O/S. I never trust the thumb-fingered technicians not to have screwed up something.
I just hope that you have a backup of everything important...

Install some version of Linux. Or at least try a live CD. If it seems to work fine with that, then you can probably rule out a hardware failure (although it would otherwise be a coincidence since, I'm assuming, it was working before getting re-imaged...)

whats in the image ...a fresh install just takes less time if u do a usb install ...

I'd just do a vanilla windows install, then go to the Dell site and download whatever drivers you need from there.

For what it's worth, that's the route I'd take, especially since it's basically new anyway.
If that fails, see if it's got an unpluggable wireless adapter on the mobo. I had an episode recently with a system that got hung installing an update. (seems it was at 61% too) Even after a new ssd and fresh os, it failed until I unplugged the wireless adapter...been running great since.

whoa that's ugly. I've seen some wifi adapters do funny things in laptops but mostly the problems were localized to the adapter itself, like not coming alive after being suspended.
to make your machine fail - someone's QA missed a serious beat.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
