Windows 10 In-place repair - Cant keep files and apps, windows install
Am trying to do an In-place repair to my Surface Pro 3 already running windows 10 (Build 10586.29) because of bugs causing the Start menu and search to be unusable, as well as some metro apps. Have already tried re registering apps using powershell but no luck.
The steps i have followed to attempt this In-place repair are here,
and am using the USB installation media method.
The problem I'm experiencing and enquiring about is when I get up to choosing what to keep, it tells me this. Down the bottom it explains why those two options are greyed out but that shouldn't be correct because my install is just the standard install on my built in hard drive.
I have done a bit of research and found some people have fixed this by undoing past registry edits, but this is a very new computer and have never done any registry edits and started with a clean install. Windows and all my system files and programs are in there reglar spot and I run nothing off of other hard drives. Also I have tried booting from the USB media and get the same thing. So how could this be solved? Thanks in advance.
