I was so upset about this job/task that I couldn't sleep so I spent the night of Saturday until Sunday (today) morning working on that pesky laptop. Though I had no response from my boss, I took the liberty to go ahead and carry on with my idea anyway. After spending almost an hour fighting the laptop to get it open (seriously, Samsung has put locks EVERYWHERE in that body! Even the RAM is locked away in a cage-like thing. They really won't want this thing to be serviced) I eventually got it open with full access to the hard drive. I then removed it from the laptop, plugged it in on my second computer, formatted it the way it should be formatted and set up the partitions as they should be but Samsung won't allow, and lastly, plugged in Windows 10 in a USB drive to run the first part of the installation process. I was given the option to choose what version of Windows to install as it should always happen and once the first part of the installation process was complete and the setup rebooted the PC I shut it down, put the hard drive back in the laptop alongside the USB drive and let the setup finish. Then I fell asleep until the afternoon when I woke up and finished installing and setting up everything.

8:47 PM now and after three days battling this laptop, it is finally finished. Windows 10 is installed the way it should be, the backup is back in place and the device is ready to be taken back to its owner tomorrow morning. Jesus Christ, what a hurdle this one has been!

Don't buy laptops from Samsung, folks! Unless you want to give a headache to whoever will have to service it when it goes bad.
