wow, many thanks to all who replied to my post. Replying in general, I installed 10 beginning of Aug on new PC running 8.1, it was very unstable from day one, I began to create a manual of "how to use 10" but I gave up when I realized that procedures were changing on a weekly basis. The final straw was the last upgrade, 24th Nov, that removed every item from the Program page (except an Audio driver), 48 in all. These are in a folder, aptly named, Removed Applications, no doubt I could probably reinstall them but I have no faith in W10, and at the moment I don't think it is fit for purpose. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll settle for using a Linux Mint CD without removing anything, I'm not into gaming, just a user for convenience. I really appreciate all your time and comments, thanks again, roy

not sure why you have so many issues with win10 ,but if I did I would reinstall the latest iso of win10,, I have it on 4 computers in my house right now ,and it works on all of them with out any issues ,all are upgrades from win8.1 ,and after the upgrade I formatted each one and did a clean install using latest win10 iso ,,, give it a try

Well, back in topic. Since you have too many issues with Windows 10, I recommend to backup your data and then delete all partitions and do a clean-install. It should be much faster than trying to solve your problems. And just because Windows 10 installation failed once, this doesn't mean your computer is incompatible or Windows 10 is full of bugs. Do not give up too easy. When you fall to the ground, stand up and try again.
