Thanks. That worked out. Now I'm read to do the repair install but the instructions state I have to disable the Secure Boot in UEFI. I'm pretty sure this was not necessary when I did the Win 7 repair-install. The tenforums instructions on how to disable it are a few years old and related to Windows 8. It says the specific motherboard has to be identified to match the correct disable instructions. I looked all over for what the specs of my motherboard are. All I can find is
Gateway Desktop PC DX Series DX4831-05 Intel Core i5 650 (3.20 GHz) 8 GB DDR3 1 TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce G310 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, updated to Win 7 Ultimate 64 then Win10 Pro 64.
Other than Intel Core i5 650 I don't have any other information on the motherboard. I may be over complicating it but a more current explanation related to Win 10 seems better. I found this: How To Access UEFI Firmware Settingts In Windows 10 (7-31-15) Does it seem correct to you?
