The sfc scan came back as saying everything was in order. havnt tried the disk repair

I used their program as well no change.

I tried that , actually used that tutorial as well :P. I set a restore point before I started messing with things as well. However, when I run it, it wont complete successfully.

Hi, all I recently purchased a new laptop about a month ago and recently had started experiencing problems with Win 10. Everything I found online indicated that a clean install of Win 10 home was the only real solution to the issue. Now I have done that, but without having linked my Microsoft...

thanks so much for all the thoughts everyone. I managed to recover (some of) the data and started using teracopy instead of the default windows copier. The data appears to be coming out fine on the external hd, so I believe it was a problem with the windows copier itself.
