    LOST dual booting function on TWO HD desktop and lost ability to run Win 10 PRO.


    Two HD Desktop was working fine and upon start-up showed option to run Win10 PRO (located on a 1 TB hard drive) or run Windows Vista Ultimate (located on another 1 TB hard drive). After cloning the Vista Ultimate HD to a 1 TB ssd I replace the HD with the SSD but when I restarted the system, Vista Ultimate on the SSD fired up and worked just great BUT....following the restart (after replacing the HD with the SSD) I was no longer presented with a dual boot option... the system just fired up and immediately ran Vista Ultimate.


    While running the SSD I can access Drive E and see/read all the various and sundry Win10 PRO files without problem so I tried disconnecting the SSD to see if the remaining HD would still boot up to Win 10 but it wouldn't. I kept getting a message stating a need to insert a WIN 10 DVD (presumably to repair a missing or damaged file) but I don't have one and cannot find a link to an ISO file to create oneone ! On one MS site I was able to download a file (it stated it had to be to a 16GB USB flash drive) that I thought would solve the problem but I can't get it to be accessed following the display of the aforementioned error message which seems to want a DVD.


    Any thoughts/help/suggestions would be appreciated. Meanwhile I have had to go back to reinstalling the SSD giving me only access to Vista Ultimate.

    :)

    LOST dual booting function on TWO HD desktop and lost ability to run Win 10 PRO.

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
