    Windows 10 OS disappeared from hard drive. is there a way to restore?


    Windows 10/64

    1 TB hard drive
    500 GB hard drive

    PC crashed and recovered

    next day, screen read something about using a boot disk

    no OS was found on the HD

    a small SSD from another computer was installed into the PC and it booted as C ddrive

    The TB drive is still in the PC....

    is there a way to get Windows 10 OS back onto the TB Drive???

    graphics drivers are all wrong and the SSD drive is tiny.. 237 GB

    as it is now, the PC is virtually useless

    thank you kindly for your help
    Karen

    :)

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.

    Free hard drive backup/restore program?

    Obviously you're looking for something besides your Xp Pro utility that does this?
