then look through said drive to recover all your data then reinstall windows.

Install your OS on another hard drive.

Put Linux on USB, use it to move files from one partition to another (or another drive), install Windows again.

Reinstall Windows and it will have everything in windows.old

In addition, you can put Linux on an android device and boot from it as you would from a live USB.

Is this legit? I thought reinstalling formats your hard drive.

No. If you click custom and just choose your windows partition, AND NOT FORMAT (just click the partition and click next or install), it will prompt you that it will replace Windows and put your old Windows installation in a folder called windows.old in the root of your C: drive.

I'd like to believe this but I'm too scared it will delete everything in the partition.

It's true, just don't fuck up by clicking Format.

>Windows 10 won't boot
It's doing you a favor for once.

>Windows
Found your problem

What a fucking tech illiterate, get the fuck off this board

Then backup everything via Linux just in case, an then reinstall without formatting
