Undo refresh
I ran Win10 refresh. I didn't solve my problem with a corrupted update database (or something else is wrong). I've decided to do a clean install. But of course all my 3d party apps were deleted. Pages in the list! Ordinarily when I have to reinstall I make a list of apps and the info needed to reinstall. That's hard to do with a total crash.
Mucking around, I find some very helpful files in windows.old. In fact, it looks like I can back up and actually get the deleted apps to work. That would help a lot in building my install list.
But I find lots about deleting windows.old, but nothing about restoring windows from it. My guess is while it might be a simple as renaming windows and renaming windows.old to windows, I'll bet windows won't let me. And if it does, odds are pretty good it will screw something up.
How should I proceed?
