[urgent] windows 10 isn't installing on my laptop
So, a few months back, my sister accidentally dropped the laptop and for some reason, it wasn't booting up anymore. When i tried to watch YouTube videos and try to do stuff in bios, like changing boot mode and stuff, it said "no recoverable boot device found" so I figured that I'll have to install windows 10 again. I did that, created a usb installation media, and inserted it in my laptop. It's been 3 hourse, and it's just showing blank screen. When I put the usb stick in, it showed a windows logo and then it turned blank. I've been waiting for 3 hours and I'm getting kinda worried now. Any advice? My laptop has 1tb HDD, 4 GB RAM and Intel Pentium.

I suspect your HDD is dead or physically damaged, try get a new one and then install a windows
This would also be a good time to switch to an SSD. A 2.5" SATA SSD should fit without any problems. I'd also see if it's possible to do a RAM upgrade. 4GB are not great for Windows 10.
Another comment said about trying to boot off of Linux mint or something, so I'll try that. If it doesn't work, then I'll have to get a new HDD or and SSD
