[SkyNetRising]

System Restore.

 

[Graybtw]

System Restore.

instead of saying scan now twice, i meant system restore wasnt working. If i reset my pc, does the keep your files thing acutally work? And do i have to take out my ssd? Im tempted to justninstall windows on my ssd, and just leave my harddrive somewhere and just ill find it at another time.

just disable your hard drive from BIOS and reinstall windows if have a data on ssd use other ssd etc.

Uh so i no longer have a ssd, and my main pc wont reset.

If you select keep your files it will do what it says. It gets rid of programs and reinstalls most parts of Windows, but will keep files.

I would STRONGLY reccomend backing up all important files beforehand, still.

Theoretically you could shrink existing windows partition (if there is enough free space),
create another partition and install windows in this new partition.
Then boot up notmally and access data from old windows partition.

BTW - how many drives in the system? What model drives?

I have 1 drive, also uh how? I also only have 40gb

 

[SkyNetRising]

40GB what?
Windows doesn't normally fit on such small storage drive.
(well - it kinnda is possible to install, but later you get serious problems with windows updates).
Definitely 2 partitions with windows will not fit there.

40gb leftb

What model drive? Is it HDD or SSD? What is full capacity?
If it is HDD, then I'd suggest getting SSD for your system and install windows in new SSD (disconnect HDD during install).
No modern system should be without SSD.

Its hdd 500gb like 8 years old, i just found a fairly recent ssd I guess someone got it and gave it to me. So uh i have to buy another key?

 

[NightHawkRMX]

No, you wouldn't have to buy another key for installing onto the same system

Howdo i reset

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Do you have another computer or can you borrow one?

 

[Graybtw]

Yes its a laptop

You will need another drive to backup your data first

Easiest way would be to put the 500gb hard drive into another computer as a secondary drive and copy data over that way.

Alternatively you could plug another drive into the computer having this issue and then use command prompt from the recovery window to copy over data, but this isn't very simple.

After you backup data:

Will need a USB drive

Gonna have to opt for the second one. because i do have a external drive with 600gb so can i just transfer it over to there?

Could i just do a couple files.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Yes you could.

Unfortunately I cannot really assist here since I think you might have to deal with some permissions issues which I don't know how to resolve without a gui.

Someone else might be able to chime in.

Dir and CD are going to be used for browsing the drive.
