how to repair windows 10
Did this work for you?
Yes? 😁 Give me a shoutout in the comments!
No? 😥 Leave a comment with your issue and we'll figure it out together.
Does it works for windows 10 pro
be careful, for me it later caused a neverending blue screen of death (bad system configuration)
opted to cleanup 10 with system file checker will try later on cloned disk, then onto windows 11 on cloned at a later date….
no😢 i just cant go back idk why its erroring
This is amazing it helped solve an issue that came with windows update, now i know how I'll handle the next issue thanks to you🤞
but will it also keep my settings?
Does this method still work?
I've noticed my computer is really slow and I might have a virus, will this option work for me? I don't want to lose my personal files but I want that virus out.
It is work if I want to install windows to another memory device? For example from an HDD to an SSD?
If I select ‘remove everything’. Will it delete all the files of other drive such as D drive E drive?
Not working for me because, Keep personal files and apps option is disabled & Nothing is selected by default
i have windows 10 education and after reinstall will i have education or just windows 10
if i reinstall windows then also it reset my all computer settings?
If it's safe for apps and files, why didn't you go ahead and re-install W10? and then show that the apps (you have plenty on the desktop) and files were still intact.
If I do this after replacing my motherboard will it cause any problems?
Can anyone confirm if this procedure resets ur registry?
Reluctant to reinstall since i don't remember all the changes that I've made to my registry and wont be able to reapply them once reinstalled
Hi I want to downgrade from windows11 to windows10, if I select the upgrade this pc & keep my files from the windows media creation tool will my windows be windows10 also at the same time my files will be restored?
Hi, I can't thank you enough!!! So far so good!!
So would this work on a Gaming pc that comes with windows 11 or no?
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. Kind remark: great if you can zoom in on parts being shown on future videos. Thanks.
Does not work for me😭
Can i do it without internet connection ?
Great! Reinstalling windows used to be such a pain. So glad this exists. Thanks for the help.
Did this worked for anyone recently?
I clicked accept but it immediatly brang me to a list and it said for me to choose what i want but i can only click on nothing to save whys that?
It dosent work, It only asks if i want to install it to a USB stick or get the ISO Data
what if I don't know if I want to keep everything? Like I'm not sure if some things I've deleted or downloaded to try and help my bsod issues I've been having are now making things worse. So I only want to keep specific things. I don't want to keep EVERYTHING.
Would I use this if I was doing a platofrm upgrade?
Hi man …I have a dual boot system with win 7 and win 10 each OS is on different drives windows 10 and 7 are mentioned on the boot screen and did work …untill the latest windows 10 update … Yes I'm blaming the update as it was working perfectly before anyway…. When clicking on win 10 it seems to work with the dots going round in a circle then ..I get a blank screen …all seems ok with the pc as all fans lights and blinking hd lights are going but ..just a black screen …I've left this for around 2hrs in the hope that something happens but no nothing did ……. So I tried all the usaul safe mode stuff and still nothing …I've heard of a way using the windows creation tool to fix an already installed win 10 without losing all my programs and files ..but I'm not a tech savvy person ..any hint on this issue would be extremely appreciated…thank you
