Reinstall the OS to resolve constant freezing issues
PC keeps freezing.
Old DELL Vostro 200 / Windows 10 Home / 22H2 / 19045.3930
Office 2010 won't run, keeps saying it can't validate (or some such)
Have tried repair - pc freezes
Tried treinstalling Office 2010 with original key - pc froze.
SFC and DSIM found no problems.
So, can I do a repair of the OS without losing data and installed apps?
Don't have the Win 10 key (I know M$oft have it in electronic form) but when I open my M$oft account, I can't see it listed anywhere (never needed tore-install the OS so I don't know if this is "standard").
All this is fallout from the recent 'jiggling cursor problem' - which I found out was caused by a faulty wired USB mouse (and me swapping the motherboard over to the original before I discoverd the blame lay with the mouse).
Any advice / help / pointers all gratefully received.
