Hi srmehta, if the notebook is dropping straight back into BIOS after the update, first check whether the internal SSD is still detected in BIOS.

When booting from the USB installer, choose Repair your computer instead of Install, then try Startup Repair. If that fails, open Command Prompt from recovery and check whether the Windows partition is still present before attempting a reinstall.
