Hi,
I switched to a new ssd a few months ago, leaving the old one in the computer temporarily, and discovered last night the boot loader was still on the old one. I created a fat32 100 meg partition by shrinking my current windows one and used easyUEFI to move the old uefi data to the new. Seemed to work fine, was able to boot to my Windows 10 Home with no problem after choosing the new bootloader location in the bios. No problem. My boot drive shows as GPT with a 16 meg (other) partition, my Fat32 100 mb efi one, and my windows 10 (home) partition at 450 gig.
I've had some unrelated issues lately, and thought I'd do a repair install. I load the Windows 10 iso from usb, launched it from within Windows, but it keeps stopping at "sorry, we can't determine if you're able to run Windows on this computer." (!!)
I'd actually started a repair install yesterday (before messing with my partitions) but cancelled it at the install screen, so I'm fairly sure the change to the EUFI partition is the culprit here as it did get past the "determine if I'm able to run Windows" check just 24 hours earlier.
I've tried repairing the eufi partition via EasyUEFI but it makes no difference. I've tried copying it over with bcdboot c:\windows /s y: (with y as my eufi partition) and still--windows gives me the same error.
Really feeling stuck here--even though the system is booting and running fine the fact that it won't let me do a repair install is setting off all kinds of alarm bells.
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to WHY it's showing such an error message? What, generally, does it fail to find? Just looking for somewhere to go with this.
