In solutions posted on this forum, I repeatedly see a reference to...." In terms of manipulating that hidden folder its best done via a Windows install disk and using audit mode...." Most laptops today come pre-installed without the disk. Othere than created an image upon purchase, where4 can buyers get a disk of the software they have paid for?

Choose Windows 10, the first item in the first drop down (not single language at the bottom)
Next choose your language and your bit version (32 or 64 bit to match your system architecture or in the case of an upgrade, to match your currently installed version of Windows).
That will provide an ISO that will upgrade, repair (or clean install) either or both Windows 10 Pro and Home.
Once you have downloaded the ISO you can use ImgBurn to burn it to a DVD http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
OR
Rufus to burn it to a USB ThumbDrive http://rufus.akeo.ie/
Since the ISO provides for both Windows 10 Home as well as Pro versions, you primary concern would be to match the bit version to your system architecture and or your current installed bit version.
