Sorry to say that I am not a computer expert, just a simple user. I upgraded from W8 to W10 following the upgrade release simply by following the link, so I do not know how to do a clean install :-(

I have been using Windows 10 on desktop for a while, got no problem. Just feel like using Win7, not that much different. It is not a clean install. But if you need to do a clean install, you'd better create a backup, especially for the C drive. And do not use Windows backup, try paragon backup&restore or easeus todo backup free.

I know asking about a problem here most often works and it ought to be (and often is) possible to fix a computer from the help given. I hope this will be the case here. Occasionally though, even with the best available online help, problems continue because helpers can't see or get their hands on a computer. There is no substitute for that sometimes.

If not technically inclined with computers and all suggestions have been carried out within the capabilities, it can then be best to put the computer into the hands of a local reputable computer repairer to sort out. Maybe it's felt the time for this hasn't come yet but I think there can come a point where it's worth paying someone to take away the continuing worry and hassle.

Hi mart. thank you for your advise, as you suggest I am not there yet, also from what I have read this critical error has a habit of cropping up ad nausium so I don't think a full fix will be available until MS get their finger out and issue an update.

I've got 7 computers running Windows 10 at my house since July 30th and haven't had an error yet.
