What have I done?

Gentlemen -The panic is over (as usual) Darkblade gave me the impetus to go and switch it on again.- Closed a few Microsoft boxes and bingo it's working again.
Next time I will wait a few hours to see if they rest themselves.


I have a backup PC with W10 on it

Turned it on the other day and had a error -Told me to put disc in and go to repair - Done this before over the years but for this I have it on memory stick -Well could I find it - I have the activation code.
Any way turning it on and off a few times seemed to fix it so thought I will download a ISO W10 file to memory stick for future use.

Got in a right mess and when closing a few pages I came to one from Microsoft asking for my 4 number code - What code ? - after messing I gave up -shutdown and started it up and on it came but no internet. Did try some repairs but no luck. Networking is beyond me - never been able to get my head around it.

So before I do myself in can you tell me if Microsoft has the ability to turn off my internet or is this pure coincidence.
I have given up for today and had a stamp around the house.

I love PC's when they work but when the don't I hate them.

I have lost my USB stick - that is what started all this. The PC works -just no internet.

Thanks for all the info - Please remember I am a old clockwork person and Mcnumpty2323 reply was way over my head - If it's basic I can do it but now today the PC has had another hiccup - Been on for 5-10 min then freezes up - blue screen comes up say there is a error and they are gathering info - but it can't because it's stopped working.

So now option 13.5 is sod it -get someone in to fix it. Even my W7 PC can't download a ISO with W10 on.

Going to turn house upside down tomorrow for memory stick.
