I've discovered that my Dell PC does not have Windows RE enabled and is missing the Winre.wim file necessary. Should I worry enough to go through the reinstallation process to recreate the file, which means (I think) loss of certain apps and a lot of general inconvenience to return to where I...

I have been imaging my system to avoid having to install. It comes in handy as long as the drive is healthy.
Should I keep a clone also in case of drive failure or is it better to clean install when the drive fails..

Hi, everyone,
In search of a problem that was causing Win 10 to lock up on my XPS13 9343, I enabled driver verifier. Predictably, this is now generating BSODs. This is the expected diagnostic behavior, I gather. The problem is, I have not been able to to get into Windows in any mode that will...

Hello,
Wanted to upgrade to Windows 10 version 21H 1.
The upgrade was downloaded, installed, but when I rebooted the system, everything was uninstalled and came back to the previous version !
How to solve this ?

When I go to Start/Power, I get two options: Update and restart, Update and shutdown. When I do either, it starts the update...
