My father in-law's computer is a HP 2000. Originally running Windows 8 but he upgraded to Windows 10. Now he's getting an 0xc0000225 error code a blue recovery screen. No copies of Windows available, everything preinstalled. I created both a Win8 and Win10 disc using an iso file with mediacreationtool.exe
1. So i select the language, time and currency, and keyboard
2. Then I tried, Repair computer, Use a device, internal cd/DVD rom drive but that didn't work.
3. So I tried "install now" of win10. Selected Win10 home. Then Next. Then selected upgrade. Then displays a compatibility report:upgrade option isn't available.
4. I also tried running a sfc scannow "windows resource protection did not find any integrity violations"

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Since he is running Windows 10, you're best bet is the sister site for Windows 10 in my signature.

But let me go ahead and ask you: what are your goals - get his system up and running (by fixing the issues) or wiping it clean and starting fresh?
