    This inexperienced member would suggest clean installation, while experienced members could come up with a better solution, and some might ask you whether you created a system image.
    Don't forget at least one member will suggest running a whole bunch of .bat files.
    @jimbob, my vote is you are going to need a clean install since you did not make system image backups with a program such as Macrium Reflect Free.

    I didn't make a system image, and it's too late to make one now.
    I really don't want to reinstall everything.
    Any other idea?

    Perhaps @zbook will have other ideas, and you will have to run a whole bunch of .bat files.

    Hello @jimbob,

    I think that considering you did NOT create a System Image, your options are extremely limited.

    I think you are probably going to have to perform a Clean Install unfortunately!

    Have a look at these . . .

    I hope this helps.
