Greetings all,
This posting will be somewhat fragmented as I am rather stressed at this point.
I was messing around with my Lenovo Laptop (a POS in my opinion) that I was given, running Windows 10 (64 bit), plenty of hd space and ram and about 1.8gh processor, and I must have deleted something I should not have ( a setting maybe?)
I now have no internet ability. I made a restore point before all this happened and also previously CLONED the internal hard drive (about a month ago) to an external hard drive for such an emergency as this. I don't think I even see my internal NIC adapter (so-to-speak)....I have utilized 3-4 of my most recent restore points to no avail.
There is a "recovery partition" I see on the internal hard drive and I think that it will re-load the OS and leave all the current files, etc intact......Timid about using this for sure.
Can I clone back my EXTERNAL hd backup to the internal sshd hd? (I don't know if there will be issues because one is an IDE external and the laptop is SSD.
