P.S. Bree, I also appreciated your input, but just for my preference, I liked the command line solution. :cool:

jl2509, Got it!!! I found that folder is hidden, and then I transferred the Group1,2,3 folders in and restarted explorer.exe and Viola!!! it's working.
For a newcomer, your pretty smart.
Hi all, I'm way behind you guy's. I'm still trying to find the WinX folder. I can't even find the AppData folder. Can you help me with that?
Thank you jl2509, that is a great question. No, the context menu does not come up.
Welcome to the board. With insite like that, you have a great future here.
This is on an ACER laptop. Fresh install (not upgrade) and activation of WIN 10 Pro. The mouse (or external USB mouse) won't work using right click over the start icon. It will right click anywhere...
All is well. I redid the user and left the "junk" folders alone and it's working fine. Thanks for all the help. Regards, Jim
Bree, I followed the instructions perfectly and it worked, but I did one final reboot and the problem came back. I'm going to do it again this morning. I think I messed around too much after I was...
I just did a fresh install (of Windows 10) on my wife's new (used) laptop. Everything went well and the username and password were her logon's from her previous computer. She logs on successfully,...
Hi phil, I had already used that wizard several times, but it never makes the clone drive bootable. Thanks, Jim
Hello, I have tried to "clone" a laptop, UEFI/GPT, HDD using Macrium and AOMEI Partition Assistant and it seems to work fine, but the resulting "clones" are not bootable. Am I missing something?...

Thank you Word Man, that was very informative.
After reading that, I decided to stop monkeying around and get serious. I went back to the beginning of the thread and read it this time. Starting...
OK, now we're getting somewhere. I've been running into those terms lately. Where can I get info on what UEFI and GPT mean? Thanks, Jim
I was told on another board that I should be installing Windows 10 into an un-allocated, un-formatted drive and that Windows will create all the partitions it needs. I tried it, and it worked up to a...
Thank you Teresa, you are very kind.
I would atill like to have some help with this drive letter issue. Thank you all, Jim
Hi all, It's working. Replacing the HDD cleared up everything. It's now running Win 10 and liking it. There is just one tiny little problem... I have partitioned the drive the way topgundcp...
AOMEI is much better. It detected and reported bad sectors in the MBR, which MiniTool never mentioned. I sent them a request for a refund. I guess I'll throw a new drive in it today and start over....
Oh, please don't worry Teresa. First of all, they are not the same computers. Secondly, I am learning a lot. The one from a few days ago is complete and ready to use. I have been using a very nice...
Thanks dalchina, that was helpful.
Thanks philc43, That worked!!!
The real bottom line was the Product Key. I did do a low level format from WinPE.ISO and did a complete install from a Win10.ISO but it still wouldn't accept my former Product Key. I finally broke...
Hi all, on a brand new upgrade from Windows 8, the start icon in the lower left corner does not respond to left button mouse clicks. It does see the mouse over and responds to right button clicks....
Hi everybody, thanks for your interest and support. Well, I wound up using MiniTool and Macrium, but I destroyed my bootability with MiniTool, even though I bought the Pro version. It doesn't really...
Thanks cereberus, OK, I've created a USB recovery disk and I am willing to re-install Win 10 from an ISO, but what do I do to clean up the partitions. I used to know how to do it in DOS, but I'm sure...
Thanks Word Man. Yes, I think it was originally Win 7 and when I got it it was Win 8, and I upgraded it to Win 10 yesterday.
I can make an image of C:\ and then re-partition it, but I don't know how...
Hi all, I just got this laptop and I don't know what to make of the partition structure. It seems like a lot of wasted space. Here is a picture using Macrium:

What do you all think?
