Windows 10 just crashed [View all]

My PC has been grindingly slow the past couple of days and then it just died.

The error messages are basically that Windows can't boot up. "If you contact a tech support tell them 'bad_system_config_info'

I tried to reset Windows but that failed.

I searched for a solution and saw this but I'm hesitant to try it:

If errors persist, run the command prompt as administrator to execute DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth followed by sfc /scannow to repair system files


Is there a remedy or is this machine toast? I was looking for a new computer but didn't get very far in my search. This may have forced the issue.

TIA
