You Reply: Good News, Bad News...
Good news I was able to resolve the error by reflashing the bios, reinstalling windows, allowing it to "prepare the system", reboot a few times and then take me through the Win10 startup process.
Bad news...although bluetooth and wifi are working properly in device manager, I can not connect to a network or pair to a device. The driver versions are current but given the issues so far, I'll assume I need to reinstall them.
More to follow...
