I had to reinstall windows which all went smoothly, I had to do a full clean install because it was so messed up the windows reset would not work :o but works normal again now, almost
TS will not let me assign my wheel buttons to it anymore, I have done wheel drivers and all my pc driver of course :) any ideas ?
also is the windows 10 built in image thingy any good ?
-
Do you have a new GUID, or does that stay the same because you've got the same Steam account? You better send me your GUID again just so I can check.
-
will do when I get AC all done
-
I feel for you Phil, you have had more than enough computer shit to deal with over the last few days :(.
-

yes feels nice and snappy again
Can anyone recommend disk imaging software, I AM not wanting to go through this again in a hurry.
I have made an image with windows 10 built in imaging thing, but not sure if its good enough. I want to make an image once Assetto corsa and a few other games are installed, will games work still after being reinstalled from an image, noob alert :)
Any advice om this matter is most welcome 8)

Easus ToDo free version is all you need, recommended by my local PC Repairman Guru who was able to recover a stuffed Data Disk which was badly corrupted and had not been backed up !!

Windows 10 has reset this pc built-in and saves all your old files. I've done Windows disc imaging but never tried recovery from it, I stopped using it and switched to macrium because it allowed me to save directly to a network drive (nas) Windows didn't for some reason.

oh god, now a choice
I've read easus is good too, would probably be a matter of which ui you prefer I'd think
-
Oh and ts, I for some reason still have to regularly reassign my wheel button (still active in ts settings but still needs to be reassigned for some reason), I think it must be fanatec drivers...dunno?
Fanatec driver v292 for cs wheel base v2.5

You might have something else grabbing that button?

I had to do that for years, until one day it rectified itself.
Now TS just crashes 2 times before running stably.

Maybe just a bug in TS? annoying but I just check before I use it and reassign when required

paragon drive copy, too :)

You know what this reminds me? Good ole' win95 times. That had to be reinstalled yearly to keep running.
Win7 is still the winner if you ask me. I just don't think they'll be able to save this mess they call windows10, there is just too many things that seem fundamentally wrong with it - privacy & security wise as well.
Whereby comes the question; why don't you reinstall windows 7, since you have to start from scratch anyway?
ON TS:
I usually have to re-start it after starting it up once, otherwise I get the "chipmunk" effect (I'm sure some of you still remember that.)

Maybe you should consider an upgrade to Win10? ;D

Does a disk image get your whole PC, like C and D drive and all works after a reinstall of the image if needed ?

You have select the disks one at a time to image.
-
That's cool, But can I restore a whole PC like that, So now I have all my stuff how I like it on both drives, If I take an image of both now and when the next windows update screws me over, I can Install both images to their respective drives and all will be normal again ?
Also will a windows usb do as my boot loader or do I need to make a special EaseUS todo one, sorry for all the questions? learning as I go here 8) :o

As far as I know, with macrium, you select the disk/s you want to image. Last time I did a reinstall of Windows 10 C drive, without an image, everything on the D drive was untouched and worked fine once I pointed my directories back to D (eg: D:downloads, D:steam library etc)
-
If I already have things like downloads pointed to D will That stay like that when I install an image, should do I think ? oh well cant be more annoying than losing a day getting my PC back to how it was 2 days ago :)

I would make a special Easeus ToDo boot loader and test it, in theory your C disk (the SSD) the one with Win10 installed will be the only one you would need to restore with a stuff up from a Win10 update. But at the first opportunity also image your other drives, depending on how precious the data on them is.
Also keep in mind this imaging process takes a VERY long time depending on size of disk (run over night). Also disable any sleep timer you may have turned on.

Should stay the same.
