[QUOTE="Nono, post: 607453, member: 57201"] Hello everybody Thank you very much to all of you for your answers and for your time in answering questions. To answer @ Evjl's Rain, as proposed would not it be better to completely reinstall Windows? More efficient and hassle-free? If you do not mind, I'd like to get help with the reinstallation. (Should the subject be moved to another topic?). My PC is originally installed with Windows 10 Home 64 bit. An SSD for C:, and HHD for D: and for E:. At the beginning (of the purchase), I had created a repair disk on CD and saved the contents of the E: Recover partition on an external hard drive. ('Recover' contains 3 folders including Drivers, Recover, Tools and a swconf.dat file.) In my backups, I do not find 'WindowsImageBackup', I do not understand why I did not create a disk image of my PC, because on the other hand I created one for another identical PC. Is 'WindowsImageBackup' equivalent to a 'ghost'? Would a ghost have been useful in the case of repair / reinstallation?
