Please *bottom* quote on mailing lists. Otherwise it's almost impossible to thread and follow the discussion. You are of course welcome, although I am not sure what your response has to do with what I posted! *puzzled* What I was saying is that you can re-install Win10, a new clean copy, so long as you have the product key. This is a lot easier than trying to back up or restore it. Extract the licence key with this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html Keep it somewhere safe, on paper, or in a cloud drive. Download a copy of the Win10 DVD image here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO Keep it somewhere else, off the PC. You need to do these steps from Windows, before you begin. You can't do it from Linux. Burn the ISO to a USB key or something in case the installation goes wrong, then you can use them to repair Windows. -- Liam Proven • Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • Google Mail/Talk/Plus: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven • Skype/LinkedIn/AIM/Yahoo: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 • ČR/WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal: +420 702 829 053 -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
