[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1038273, member: 393358"] ...the only virus that's making trouble and you'll have to battle with will be the one that was intentionally downloaded, it's called w10 :O) btw, good that the pc does not boot properly, the virus then not being capable of taking over the machine and transfer tons of personal details to the control lair in Redmond :O) Usually the 1st course of action is making a complete image of the hd (all partitions incl. hidden boot etc), put the removed hd in a usb box. Run a disk test program on it to eliminate the possibility of physical damage etc. Run the backup program (Reflect!) to a backup hd. Then make the bootable Reflect usb stick, then make a bootable usb Windows installation stick. Then all tools are available, for now and future tasks. Refit the original hd in the pc, boot it off the windows stick and go trough some of the windows repair routines (with some reading and research about what to do). In case of catastrophies one can boot the pc with the Reflect stick, reload the backup image through usb and start all over with zero harm done. Maybe seem a lot, but compared to all the days and nights passing doing all kinds of things, it's fast with good chance of success. imo. If no luck and w10 completely destroyed itself with it's update, revert \ restore not available, the only thing to do is a fresh install, then restore as much as possible\needed of important files from the mentionned 50G user files backup. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
