    How to reinstall a customized Win10 install?


    I have a highly customized Win10 install, I spent months tuning it to look and behave exactly like I wanted.
    Registry settings, alternative keyboard, various encryption programs that encrypted volumes on other disks, lots of software.. shutup10 tuned how I wanted, Window and mouse etc. behavior and much more.
    Then there is a complicated "My Documents" file tree - I don't anticipate problems copying that.

    now the OS is non-bootable, something corrupt in the EFI system partition I suppose. I tried the Windows "repair boot" option and also Macrium reflect recovery disk, none worked.

    I booted off another OS install (it works but is plain-jane) and can access all the files on the non-bootable disk. Is there any way I can recursively copy a folder tree onto the instance of the OS I am booted into instead of reinstalling and configuring 100 and 1 things?

    This disk layout can explain things better. Basically all the things I need are under F: (that does not boot) and the working disk is Disk 3 (CHow to reinstall a customized Win10 install? :).

    It would be much easier to get the F: to boot again and become C: but I am mentally ready to reinstall the damn thing as F: hasn't run right for a year, I think the root cause of it is misconfigured multiboot (BCDedit, etc.) and I could never figure out how to take out of the system, even I could boot into that disk.

    :)

    Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

    Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

    Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond How to reinstall a customized Win10 install? :) Best regards.


    And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
