Is this the same one that Microsoft says forget trying to get rid of it and just reinstall your OS?

I guess reinstalling your OS wouldn’t be that big of deal, except that you have to reinstall all the updates too. Is there a way to save your updates somehow so you don’t have to download all of them again?

You can save an image of a new install after all the updates have been applied. Then you just reimage your computer if you have problems.

Microsoft doesn’t say reinstall the OS. It says restore the MBR and do Recovery. That’s not the same thing.

Buy the latest version of the OS.
