Windows 10: "Archive - old disk"

So i have recently gotten my pc fixed, also upgraded the ram and the memory when i plugged it in i saw that the guy reset the computer, also it was on windows 10 not windows 11 but when i looked thru the folders i saw the Archive - old disk folder , so i was wondering if i could go back to my old windows 11 with all the apps on it, etc that i had the last time before the guy reset the computer the Archive old disk file has all my apps from before

Disk boot failure after removing old Vista partition

Thank you for the reply, muchomurka! As I indicated in my post, I have already tried all the steps you suggested to no avail:

- I cannot choose startup repair since the computer does not boot from the installation media
- I cannot use command prompt since the computer does not boot further than the POST screen
- I have disconnected and tried out all hard drives individually.

Since I had Win 10 up and running a few hours ago, I can say with 100% certainty that none of the hardware is faulty.

The real mystery is, how come the system won't boot from any media without an empty disk containing an old Vista boot sector being on top of the boot priority list? And which steps to take now that I've cleaned this disk and it does not exist anymore?

Would appreciate any ideas and pointers!

 

No archive ability.

I tried all suggestions to no avail, then gave up and switched to Mailbird, which works brilliantly.
