Julian:
sticky mess changing disks almost guarantee you will lose files that are not backed up because changing disk from dynamic will wipe that whole partition clean.

Boggin:
You can convert the disk to basic without losing data with this EaseUS program - http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/change-dynamic-disk-to-basic.htm

Win 10 is digitally activated and once it has been previously installed on your machine then it will pick up that fingerprint of your hardware.

However, you could just install into that partition without a format.

In fact I have Easeus partition Master, however I can't make that .exe file work.

It is pure luck that my Thunderbird works as well as Edge. Otherwise I couldn't have bothered you with all my problems.

When I have finished copying my files, I will try reinstall again one way or the other. In any case I will have to reinstall my programs, which is OK, because I have for a long time wanted to clean up and delete some programs.

Will keep you posted.

Boggin:
Okay - good luck :)

erlingstar:
Nothing really worked for a long time. When I had given up, I inserted the W10 rescue disk once more and read a book. After about 30 minutes (!!!)it suddenly reacted, and from then on everything worked just fine. I reinstalled and updated. All my files were preserved. I only have to install my programs, which, however, is rather time consuming.

I am halfway through now and all my backed up passwords, mail and favourites are in place. Life looks good.

A lesson learned: Be very patient, when you have a rescue disc! - nothing may happen for a long time!
