Windows 10: Windows 10 re-install not losing pictures

Hello! Hopefully someone can help me....


I have read the majority of links similar to what i need..and i think...or thought i was close and now i am stuck.


Long story short....i have attempted everything to try to repair windows to no avail. A fresh/re-install looked to be my only option. I was going to remove my hard drive to save all my pictures which is all that matters to me. but read i could keep files if i did a custom install...but now i think i didnt understand that correctly? is this only if i am upgrading? so no i am stuck at the screen where do you want to install windows where i understand i can delete these partitions and reinstall windows...but if i am not wanting to lose my pictures...what option do i have now? should i stop this install and go back to my original plan and pop open my laptop to get to the drive to remove pictures? i assume if i continue i lose everything....please advise...if i can exit and be ok...or do i have any hope after i continue?


Thank you!

:)

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder


Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
