what's involved in the Win 10 boot loader repair ?
I have a Windows XP/ Win 10 dual boot system, and I've also just moved to a replacement motherboard.
The Win 10 handled the different motherboard in it's stride (except for activaton issue, but that's another story)
The Windows XP *seems* like it is OK, but I'm getting some occasional crashes in the avast anti-virus and Firefox,
reinstalling them has not corrected the problem.
Because of this I was considering an XP repair install. If I do this it will more than likely restore it's own boot
loader, so I will not be able boot to Windows 10. I have copy of the bootable build 1607, but I have not found if it
is possible to find a recovery environment from the DVD
I know that pressing F8 in the normal startup can get you there; it accesses c:\recovery and I it runs from there.
Not sure if this is any use to me when the Windows 10 loader has been over written.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious. How is it supposed to work?
