System Crash after major updates after system upgrade from Windows 7
My Desktop PC which was running the Windows 7 Ultimate OS crashed immediately after last years free upgrade to Windows 10. However after restarting it several times it restarted and very soon Microsoft had released a patch to help those who had experienced these crashes. After applying those needed updates my system once again started running fine and I had been using the same for a couple of months. Once again after another of those updates my system totally crashed and ever since I haven't been able to recover my PC and have tried all suggestions that I found on the net but have been unsuccessful in restoring my system back. Every time I switch my system on it tries to load the OS but eventually gives me this blue screen with the following message
" Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We'll restart for you.
For more information about this issue and possible fixes, visit

If you call a support person, give them this info:
Stop Code UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME"
Then after a few seconds it once again restarts and this cycle goes on an on. Ever since I haven't been able to use my system. Fearing that the HDD (Seagate 1TB 7200RPM Barracuda) would have been failing I have purchased another new HDD (Again Seagate 2TB 7200RPM Barracuda).
My PC is an assembled Core to Duo system with a Biostar G41D3+ Motherboard with 8GB RAM which was running a 32bit OS
Checking up the Stop code info at the Microsoft.com shows this code.
0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
I have the following queries.
1. Since I had already upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 afterwhich the
system crashed, will the Windows 7 Ultimate Key be valid as no key was generated
during or after upgrade?
2. Can I install a fresh Windows 10 OS on the new Hard Disk that I have purchased.If so how do I do it using my legal Windows 7 Ultimate Key?
3. Will the Windows 7 Key still be valid for this new installation as I dont want to lose the legallity of the OS?
4. How do I transfer the data from my old HDD on to the new drive?
5. If the Hard Disk is failing how do I copy the data to my new hard drive?
I know I am a novice in this and have probably asked more questions than can be answered. However I would be grateful if someone could help guide me as to what to do so that I could set up my system using the new drive and the old windows 7 key.
Thanks is advance.
