If I'd just prefer to just cleanly wipe the SSD (because I've backed up all my data before) can I skip the the first couple of steps that go through creating an image duplicate? And then just clean...

Hello, it's been a couple days. So I decided to get back at the effort of resolving this, but I'm so confused on how to perform the steps you have listed above even though the list looks pretty...

So yesterday I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and ran into numerous issues. The first being that freshly installed apps are not showing up in the search bar when I go to search for them to run...

Also totally didn't mean to make another post, my bad. ;)

This is what the address to the recovery image looks like [G:\ResetRecoveryImage] so I assume it's in the root directory. This is what the tutorial you directed me to brought up....
