It appears that the rest of my original post hasn't made onto this thread a.d.
Unfortunately I no longer possess the newer laptop.
A continuation of the previous thread is as follows:
1st attempt tonight Turned on and pressed F8
Menu came up and have selected Repair computer
This has taken me to System Recovery options
Keyboard input method is on United Kingdom
Then log in using Administrator
I've entered password, but error box comes up with
User name or the password is incorrect - the user name will only come up as Administrator, I think the password is correct but not 100% positive.
Then box comes up and asks if I'm sure I want to exit and restart my computer
I click yes.
Computer then restarts, and the menu reads boot in
Safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with networking
