   When I did finally get windows reinstalled on it, I did immediately take   
   an image of it.  My first choice of what to do is to go to my desktop in   
   the house that has a spinner I can temporarily remove.  I'll hook up the   
   laptop drive and just restore that image to it and then see if the   
   garage machine will boot on it.   
      
   If that one seems bad, I do have an image of when I first got it all set   
   up again about a year ago.  I could try that one next, but I'll try the   
   one from a few days ago with a fresh windows 10 install first.   
      
   Thank you
