Understood. I will get a new drive for the new install. Thank you again!

Hello Colif, sorry for the delay in answering. I will try a clean install. I still have some old photos from trips and work files that would be impossible or very difficult to recreate. But if there is no other option, I will just reinstall Windows 10. Thank you for your help and guidance...

Hi Colif, thanks again for your continued support and guidance. I read the article and tried the bootrec /rebuildbcd at X:\Sources>. It says will take a while, then a blue screen came up and said "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart". Then it rebooted to a blank screen. I...
