I've posted about my 10 crashes in the last week.

It's working now.

Quicker than buying another PC, which I know will take me a week or two,
is using one of the desktop computers people have given me, with their
hdd removed.

Assuming** that their hardware is exactly like what I'm using now, if I
image my harddrive, and install that, will I drag whatever problem I
have with me?????

I ran Memtest Wednesday and found no errors, but I only ran it 45
minutes before I had to stop to watch a zoom session, which turned out
to be on Thursday anyhow and turned out to not be very good. :=(

I'll run it again for 2? hours. 3?

So if it's not memory, maybe I should just reinstall Windows 10 on top
of what I'm running now?

I ran sfc /scannow but each time it closed after 10 seconds or less.
That seems bad, but no error message.

Maybe I should run checkdisk for the HDD?


**I have software*** that uses generic drivers at first, until the
proper drivers can be installed, so that one can copy a system to a
different computer.

***Acronis True Image 19 Backup universal restore, and
Paragon Bakcup and REcovery 10.

I havent' tried either of these yet, but I really want to.

On memtest, I use the pass counter and "one pass" is enough.

For the new-to-you machine, I'd just install Windows 10 from
the DVD.

You can bring over the drive from the duff machine, and
carry out tests on that drive, using your new-to-you machine.
