So you have made the installation USB?
And you have run the Repair install?
And your user accounts seem to be behaving themselves [allowing you to log in without generating any 'temp profile' warnings]?

Yes to all three.
I was a bit put out at first that all the personal folders were empty until I remembered that I deliberately emptied the old ones trying to delete the accounts and user folders.
And didn`t add anything to the new ones I didn`t have to. I have done very little since I seriously started trying to sort the mess out .I backed up everything that mattered to a TOSHIBA external HD before I started on this and I find I can access anything on that HD easily. I also have the SYSTEM restore backup but am not sure I will use it in case it causes problems, I can re-install Money Manager and re.-register Sibelius. If my son ever gets round to installing Windows 10 on the old Aspire I might use it for that. I might even get it back from him and do it myself with the help of windows ten forums of course. My teaching stuff is there oddly enough.
The ghost of granny is still lurking about and the User Folders mjccx2 amd mjcx2LAPTOP-QIGMIR90 are still showing in the directory. Must have another shot at getting rid of them.
I must stop and enable Secure Boot and restore Malwarebytes before I forget. There are Bit Defender files hanging a
out too that I need to remove.
I am so chuffed ! Thanks again. And thanks to mgerhold for the Product No.
I'm glad it has been resolved.
You might also wish to make a new system image so you capture everything in its current good state.
- Restoring a system image is a much more reliable recovery method than a 'System restore'.
I never bothered re-enabling Secure boot.
- All that means is that anybody with physical access to my computers could boot them from a malicious USB they brought in with them.
All the best,
Denis
I have contacted Macrium as I liked their product way back in 2019. I am pretty fagged Can you remind me how to do a system image quickly so it reflects the status quo before it changes please ?
Also I want to try Microsoft Defender which also seems to be called Windows Defender. As usual accessing Microsoft through Google is bewildering. What is the simplest way to set it up ?
1 Macrium reflectThe tutorial tells you how to make an image.
Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect - TenForumsTutorials
Macrium Software Macrium Reflect Free
Macrium USB - TenForums
Macrium Reflect KnowledgeBase - user guide [version-independent link]
I do not use Macrium so I have nothing useful to add.
2 Microsoft defender- It needs no setting up. It is part of Windows 10.All the best,
- The correct name is now Microsoft defender
- Many of us still keep calling it Windows defender, even many TenForumsTutorials do so
- I will often remember to call it Microsoft defender but then abbreviate it to WD
- If you have any questions about it then look through the many relevant tutorials

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials
You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]
I saw a note somewhere on my travels through the forum re printing items.
Can you save or print pages from a thread such as the most recent info you sent on Macrium and Tutorials in general.
It would save me a lot of time if I could print it. Otherwise I have to keep coming back and searching this thread. Is any of the thread copyright?
You can print anything you want from a thread. Nobody should ever post anything that cannot be printed.
You can 'print' to pdf files. That gives you the info you want without having to use paper [that you might mislay].
- You can always print a pdf file to real paper later on if you need to.
Just go to each page of the thread and press Ctrl-P [the Control key & the p key together].
- Browsers vary but all will then allow you to choose the printer called 'Microsoft Print to PDF'
- They will also allow you to select the system print dialog. I find this easier & more reliable than some others because it will always allow you to choose which folder to create the file in [this happens after you press the system dialog's Print button].
Edge print dialog showing option to use the system print dialog instead.

It looks much better if you print the "printable version" though.You can print anything you want from a thread. Nobody should ever post anything that cannot be printed.

It appears that I cannot print or save from threads past page 11 and we have covered a lot of ground in this thread.
I can save tutorials though I might as well save the links of the ones I need. I have hand written quite a few of the instructions you have directed me to anyway. I have to email Macrium to get the free licence so am doing that.
Thanks for your continued input . There is still quite a lot to do.
Re: Excel - the only Excel .exe file I can find is in mjcx2LAPTOP_QUIMIR90. Can I transfer App Data content to another User ?
I can open and modify Excel Files I have on Toshiba so it is functioning ok where it is. It doesn`t show in FUNF.
It is part of the Office 2016 collection but Msoft have decided to push Office 365 Excel so I can only download from other sites.
I have looked up Excel in Tutorials but nothing relevant to my problem.
I don't know why particular pages should be a problem. What happens when you try?
