We are reinstalling Windows 10 after an update wrecked the computer.
Windows 10 setup is doing things I do not understand.
There's only one physical 500 GB SSD connected to the computer right now (another 500 GB SSD and a 2 TB HDD will be connected later). Windows 10 creates four partitions on this one 500 GB drive: Restore, System, Primary, and another one I am too tired to remember—maybe MBR or MFR or something. I don't know if I have any control over this part, beyond clicking the Next button. I thought Windows 10 would install in the Primary partition, which is the largest one.
When we get through the two personalized settings screens (telemetry crap) after setting up the drive, and the system appears to reboot, we have to adjust those same two pages of telemetry crap all over again. I had to wonder if Windows was being installed twice for some reason.
Then, when we finally get to the desktop, I have both a C: and D: drive, and Windows is reported as being on the D: drive, with is just a bit over 20 GB in size.
This computer did not have a tiny D: drive before. Windows was on C:, D: was the other physical SSD, and E: was that 2 TB HDD.
What in the holy heck is going on?
