Inspiron 15z
In short laptop froze during updates I left it over night and in the morning it was still stuck at 33% I had to force shut down by holding down power button. After it work but ie11 would freeze when I tried to run it, it would also immediately create an error report which would also freeze laptop. I tried using Windows 8 advanced start up options to do clean PC, but it didn't work. I recovered PC to an earlier image to retry everything again but that didn't work either. I tried resetting to factory settings that didn't work either. So I gave up and I was gonna try a w8 clean install. However when I put the windows 8 key in the windows 8 tool it told me the key couldn't be used.(I obtained key using Belrac) I than gave up with 8 I tried to do a windows 7 clean install but that didn't work either. Additionally there's a 29 GB volume which I cannot delete, expand or shrink. The original hdd size is 500. I'm familiar with the command line and I tried (when windows 8 was running) to check my image with one online to see if it would than fix it self but nothing. I've tried deleting volume through cmd but nothing. The only thing I've managed to run and install successfully on it was Linux Mint Debian Edition 17 (which is not a bad distort at all) Any help is greatly appreciated thank you kindly for your time
