Bleedin' windows very, very much cheeses me off. I had a strange problem where windog 11 was changing my hard drives that were over 2tb to mbr, meaning I couldn't see the rest of the 8tb drive.
Tried various recovery programmes, got a lot of the data back, mainly photos, but out of sync.
Various other issues means I am now reinstalling the bleedin' windows. I had a back up which I could access from my old pc. However I had to buy another licence from aomei as their backup/recovery programme said I had installed it too many times. Created USB recovery stick, For some reason it will not load, I've tried both ms's recovery setup and aomei.
Probably time I cleaned out some junk, it was starting to get very sluggish anyway, not how I wanted to spend all this time though.
I do have backups of my photos somewhere, just have to find them....
Nearly there, it was easier than I thought it was going to be. The USB stick did load recovery options after Imsaid to install new windows and not repair it.
So it has copied lot's of stuff across from the backup I had taken, now just waiting for the update downloads to install.
