Microsoft Defender: No threats detected Oct 9, 2026 Scan details my Dell Inspiron 15r laptop keeps on restarting after the installation of windows 10 is done from a bootable USB and when I try to restart and use Windows 8 which was preinstalled it shows a message on a black screen.

Check your BIOS settings and see if it detects the hard drive. If it does then do a hard drive scan.
