Windows 10: Dism RestoreHealth requires source option to specify the location of files

Windows 10 is starting very slowly and the Dism command shows an error that can not be fixed without a source file. Where do I get the source file?

Thank you,

So it looks like it is time to upgrade. Preferably would be to upgrade and keep programs and data.
