Well, I redid my computer - or dare I say it redid me
I installed a different, empty hard drive and did a brand new fresh install of Windows 10.
I did NOT back up anything from my previous hard drive because I was planning to reinstall it as a second drive. We used to do that at work.
I did that and is WAS working - BUT. I needed stuff on the old desktop and could not find it.
No problem - reinstall the old drive and boot up on the old drive, backup what I needed
BUT
That drive would no longer power up. Even in another computer it will not power up.
So, my old hard drive is dead????
Fortunately I don't save much on the C: drive as I have a data server.
But recently I did save some stuff on the desktop.
Now I am back on my computer with a brandy new install of win 10 pro and absolutely nothing else. NOTHING.
Boots up really nice.
