Restore after system failure
Situation:
I am facing an entire system restore after Win 10's latest update (KB4056892) has rendered startup impossible with an error message of Inaccessible Boot Device. The latest restoration point temporarily fixes that and the system works fine after restoration until the next bootup when KB4056892 tries to install again and the error messages process is repeated. Dell's detailed diagnostics show nothing wrong with computer. Microsoft's Automatic Repair and Diagnosis could not find any problem. Same results when booting with an Acronis Rescue Disk or Windows Rescue Disk. Microsoft technicians have now reinstalled Win 10 Pro, and I still have the same problem. But what is worse I now have no restoration points. I still have another session with Microsoft, but it looks like deep trouble.
Since completely resetting Win 10 will destroy the programs, I desperately need to restore because I no longer have installation disks for many programs, including Acronis 2015.
Questions:
All that being said (sorry about that):
1 I have Acronis 2015 incremental and differential backups on separate external drives. If worse comes to worse how can I restore everything, including the operating system...maybe on a new hard drive (although the hard drive shows to be OK)?
2 If I reinstall Win 10 from another source how can I restore everything except the operating system?
3 The only actual Acronis disk I have is for 2012. Can I download 2015 (on another computer) from Acronis and reinstall it on the affected one? Right now Acronis Rescue Disk is not usable because of the boot errors.
4 Would I be better off buying Acronis 2018 to do this?
Sorry about all the verbosity, but I am in a real dilemma.
Many thanks for any suggestions
