Resetting Win10 Pro Without Pain (much)?
My pc has finally gotten to the point where I need to reset it. Unfortunately, that’s complicated by a couple things:
1. I can’t locate my thumb drive with Win10 Pro on it. I was one of the early adopters that upgraded from Win8.
2. When I upgraded my regular hard drive to an SSD, I made hard links to the major folders (Docs, Pics, Program Files, etc.) to a 4TB hard drive. For re reset, should I either disconnect this or shut it off in BIOS so that it won’t mess with things like my pics, videos and music?
Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, but I am unable to get another 4TB to back up the current one, and the pc is rapidly approaching the point of unusability. I just want to get this done in the most painless way as possible short of a clean install.
