Hey, I moved placed, got an old router we used to have 3 years ago, the only sockets in the wall are phone and ethernet ports, while my router wants the socket with 3 pins ()sorry I know practically nothing about routers) , can this router work and if it can how do I plug it in? Cheers!

Figured it out, the drive was listed twice for some reason, thanks a lot, youve been a massive help. One last question: since I got into this mess by doing a clean boot, and it all started with me disabling services in the system configuration screen, would it be possible for me to somehow to change the settings and enable the services back, since I think thats what caused my system not to work in the first place.

It didnt work. Or rather it did until it didnt. I installed windows on the drive. It worked. I even restarted ghe pc to make sure. A perfect fresh windows install. I turn it off, pop the other drives back in. Im back at square one. I made sure to boot from the new windoes drive. What do I do?

Removed all the deives, hit the foemat button in the installer, but it didnt format properly. The data was removed, the drive shows up empty, but its still MBR and not GPT. Edit: My bad figured out what you meant.

I looked into it, and i could swear its on partition 3, althoigh yea according to google windows takes up a lot more space. To answer the question, a lot. There is a second drive, namely drive 2, that only has a bunch of games on it, and no data i would have to recover. Would it be possible to install windows onto that drive and boot off of it instead?

Its drive 3, either partition 1 or partition 3, I dont remember if "system reserved" meant that it had windows on it or if it was just extra space for it to operate.

.

My bad, should I delete one of them? Yes its a M.2 ssd, pretty new one as well.

No luck

For reasons that I talked about in the post below (dont think theyre relevant to the question but stll) my windows 10 is corrupted and nothing I try to fix it seems to work. I started considering re-installing windows and the potential loss of data, when it hit me. My windows installation is on a sseparate partition, and when I used the windows installation tool I got on a flash I found the partition branded "system reserved" on the list. I have some concerns however. Is the data on other drives and on the other partition of the drive with the corrupted windows on it safe? When in windows setup Im prompted with 2 options: Option 1: Upgrade; install windows and keep files, settings and applications, and option 2: Custom; install windows only. The installer wont let me use option 1, claiming that it wont work if theres another drive with windows on it in the system. Option 2 however sounds a bit scarier and Im unsure how much its going to overwrite and what data will still be unusable. In addition it gave me an error that I dont really understand (Screenshots below of the error and of the message I get if i try using option 1) Thanks for all the help!

My bad. Typed correctly I get the following error:

I cant boot up windows, so i cant do what you said. I did it in the command prompt available in the repair tool, and I got the following message.

I was having trouble launching a game after it got updated yesterday, so I reached out to the support team to get it fixed. They asked me to do a clean boot and see if the game would wodk then, and linked the windows clean boot guide. I followed it, and restarted my pc per instruction, only to be greeted with the blue screen telling me that system 32 is missing.or corrupted. I got a flash drive and installed the windows installation tool on it intending to use the repair option, since that seems like the most popular opinion on the internet, but the startup repair tool doesnt work. If I click on that option in the repair menu i get the message "startup repair couldnt repair your pc" about 5 seconds after i start it. The only option at this point I see is installing windows onto my other ssd and booting off of that so at least Ill get into windows, but I cant imagine it being a good solution. Im running windows 10, i have 2 ssd's and 2 hard drives, one of the ssd's is a m.2 drive with the corrupted windows on it, the other one is a older drive that used to have windows before I moved it to the m.2. Doubt other specs matter, but i got a ryzen 7 3800x and rtx 3060, neither overclocked, 32gb quad channel ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows is up to date, hardware acceleration is on, boot drive has enough free space on it. You think hardware acceleration could be behind it?

Checked for updates on both multiple times, that isn't the issue.
