    We are going to need more information. Which Switch model do you have? It could be something like SW#-xxx-xxxx or S100x-xxxx or something different from those. The eMMC drive might have failed, or it might just be too full. Likely you are going to need to boot from an install image to diagnose.

    My advice to you is to Create Windows 10 installation media onto an 8GB USB and download the tool from here Download tool now first and then do a "Clean Install' of Win-10 and activate the Win-10 with a digital key that you have with your Microsoft account and then reinstall all the drivers from Acer for the Aspire Switch model that you have that Win-10 didn't install. Also and seeing that you haven’t got any valuable data on it a Clean Install is a much better solution for BSODS/Blue Screens than a Reset as it completely and installs a new Win-10. 

    The Error BSOD of Win-10 0xc000000F - directly hints that there is something wrong with the Boot Configuration Data (BCD). When the data is missing or corrupted, the OS finds it hard to read and execute most startup operations. By doing a Clean Install you will eliminate this problem and your laptop will work 100%.

    thanks for your answers,first it is an aspire sw3-013 tablet with connecting keyboard.
    now when it starts up,it goes to a blue screen saying many things including error.
    it wont let me do anything apart from push the window key to enter 5.0 setupUtility.
    On that screen,nothing can be done changed or move except user password which is highlighted grey and (set) underneath.
    this is the only thing that can be changed.nothing else will highlight up.
    thank you.
    i can give photos if possible?
