I think I see why I'm confused, it's semantic.

I see it as a "new" account because I've been thinking that a local account is distinct from the Microsoft account, and therefore a new account is...

So, just to be clear.
1) I need to change my old user account name to some dumby name (like "delete this") and then
2) I can use the local account transfer function to move from my Microsoft...

Ah yes, maybe I'm not describing it correctly.

I tried clicking on the option to migrate to local account, and then enter the name of my old local account username - let's just say it's "firehawk"...

Ah I didn't think of doing that, thanks. I'm experiencing some weird behaviour because one of my apps is using the new user's appdata folder for its settings for some reason.

I guess I can be...

Hi there,

Now that I think about it, there may have been a prompt that I clicked through because I've done it so many times that I've never had to worry about it - it's that "Setting up Windows"...

So my old computer has been able to get away with not using a Microsoft account to login for at least 5 years, but after a recent Windows Update (Windows 10 22H2), I came back to see that it...

Thank you for your help. Yes, I'd rather have the original file names/folder structure so I'm more than willing to try these software. Thank you for the recommendations.

Thanks everyone for the replies - I'll try to run the diagnostic utilities later to check on the health of the drives and report back.



I did have a chance to try the end steps from the thread...

I may have had a USB issue with my external hard drive I ended up with the issue where the drive is now detected as RAW and unable to be detected by Windows - it gives both the "Parameter is missing"...

I just wanted to chime in with the others and say that this worked for me - I assume the idea is to rewrite the small SYSTEM partition with the new info.

Either way, I found this via a Google...

It finally worked! Thanks. :)

Okay. Should I run Driver Verifier after updating this driver, or just try reinstalling Anniversary?

Hi again, sorry for the late response.

I tried Driver Verifier and it crashed immediately upon resetting my system after turning it on. I had to disable it again in order to boot back into...

I just tried it again and it failed at around the same point (71%). I'll try uploading the event logs again.

Edit: oh, since I used a USB install this time, I got an error code when I got back...

Sure, my boot drive:


My storage drive:


Nothing major other than the unused index entries.

Thanks.

Hi again, I ran chkdsk and there were no errors on either drive... what else can I try?

I didn't even know there were problems with my storage. I just installed a new SSD, which I cloned from my old one, and I have 200 gigs free on that drive. My storage drive is a bit full, it's a...

I'm not sure what I'm missing. My dump files made by the program is there, is there something else I am missing?
