A big thank you

Not sure where to put this, hope it's the correct place.

For my own reasons I decided I needed a clean install of my Windows 10 (20H2), and subsequently all my programmes. So my first port of call was this site to read the advice, which i read a number of times, and ensured that I could find the advice via my tablet if required. So I:

1. Downloaded the boot USB.
2. Found all my programmes and the registration details.
3. Make copious notes of actions to do.
4. Backed up both my (then) current OS, and data, which are on separate drives.
5. Make a Reflect boot drive.
6. Disconnected the "other" drives (as recommended).
7. And started the process.

I was pleasantly surprised how quick it was to the finished installation, didn't time it but less than an hour, so my first thanks goes to all those of you providing the advice and guidance (didn't have to refer to the tablet once). I did have legacy boot but now I have UEFI (which is one of the reasons), though my C: drive is between the UEFI hand recovery!



My next step was to moved my user document etc folders over to my D: drive, and that seem to go well, however on checking the user folders some of the sub-folders have disordered, not all just some and with no sort of pattern. So my second thanks goes to Reflect advisors, as all my lost date was soon recovered and back in place.

Just personalising my PC again, and as expected the odd minor hiccup, but nothing insurmountable.

So a BIG THANK YOU to Ten Forums and all the contributors.

Seasons Greeting, Stay Safe, and let's hope 2021 gets better (it would be hard to get worse)

Hello @Jimmyb,
I am pleased that it went according to plan.

You did it the right way first, which is always a bonus, by setting up a plan and following it, with the additional facility of having something to use [ tablet ] for reference if needed.

Glad to see all went well.

Just for information
- You can convert a Legacy-MBR to UEFI-GPT using win 10 tool (MBR2GPT.exe)

- You can move C:\Users to D:\Users. During installation is very easy.

Many thanks, I did read these, but thought I would keep it simple. I did have other reasons for the install, my system was messy due to my own "playing", and starting a fresh seemed the best solution.
