Thanks.
Even though the PC does not boot beyond the logon screen, since it is connected wirelessly in its normal environment, I'm sure the os telemetry will still be sending stuff back and forwards, its just it won't be seen.
Now that it is here, it's not talking to anyone except through the hard drive caddy and a USB cable. 80% through Malwarebytes (though this has the original 2017 database,) AVG and Iobit MF.
Connect to the storage drive is tonights task once the others have finished, then I might run up the Win10 iso and see if it provides a fix before deleting everything and starting afresh.
One question though - Since I have got the 25 character code off the laptop when it was in Win10 original mode using Jellybean, would this be applicable to any future Win 10 reinstall, or just the upgrade from - I presume Win 7 - a couple of years ago ?
Its an Aspire 5742 btw, so around 7 - 8 years old if that helps.
