Remember '''''never''''' to '''select''' a '''reset''' my computer option ''as this will reinstall Windows and delete all your personal data'' . '''Only''' ever '''select repair''' as the option at this stage.
If you want to safeguard your data '''perform''' a system image '''backup''' to an external drive (and create a system restore point as well if you wish) '''first before you commence''' trying to repair the laptop. This way if anything goes wrong or you pressed the wrong option you can restore it to the way it was before you started
