for some reason the restored win10 pre reset is running better now than before, strange .........

these patches look to be a fix for data corruption, or do they fix more ............

yes my windows 10 is activated .......... so can I use my win7 backup instead of a rollback and start...

how do I tell if it was activated? system shows a product id, but there is no more info.

thanks

I'm using Home and Business 2011. I have no problems with the data files. it worked correct under win7, but since the upgrade to win10 on this machine it has problems. strangely there are no problems...
