    Hold the phone! Right, so on a whim I tried a different usb flash drive and it appears to be recovering properly using Dell os recovery! This is happening just now and if it works I will be SO happy. I will keep you guys posted (if anyone's still interested in this)

    Installing fresh windows 10 on Dell XPS 13-issues!

    I was thinking that but if I can boot from usb and it actually loads the windows install files, if it was corroded and didn't work, surely I wouldn't be able to get to this step?
