Windows 10: Is there any way to get ONLY absolutely 100% required system files?

Basically, awhile back my SSD failed and i managed to recover all of my stuff, but unfortunately it looks like some windows files were either lost or corrupted, so my previous install won't run on the new SSD, my plan now is to download a new install of windows, and overwrite my old files with those new ones, is there anywhere i can get only the windows files so i can lose as few of my files as possible?

Hi,

My bios is not listed.

Thanks for the suggestion.

 

Modifying system files

Hi, don't expect anything like the degree of flexibility in configuring Win 10 as you had in '7.

Please bear in mind that
a. updates may replace those system files
b. there's a major upgrade every 6 months or so when all system files are replaced.
c. and of course you need to consider the effects of repair actions such as SFC /SCANNOW, System Restore and an in-place upgrade repair install.

You may wish to find a way of scripting these modifications if you wish to retain them, so as to readily reapply them. At least, document the steps exactly so you can readily reproduce them.

I would suggest you consider making just the absolute minimum of changes you consider necessary.

 

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
