Click Start

Type: CMD, from the results, right click CMD

Click 'Run as Administrator'

At the Command Prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system

  1. Insert the Windows 7 DVD
  2. Restart your computer
  3. When asked if you want to boot from your DVD drive, do so.
  4. Choose your language, click Next.
  5. Click 'Repair your computer'
  6. Select operating system you want to repair.

    This procedure does not WORK, usual for Microsoft stuff.

    If you try to use the Windows 7 DVD the only option you have beside language is to INSTALL I TRY. I recover from the piece of CRAPP Windows 10 and several of the application are not recover, windows Installer, Windows Management etc. It suck. Please Microsoft keep you junk for yourself and leave my PC alone......
