Other than the above which is supposed to be fully automatic, it involves some manual tasks, but it should be quite easy if you are at least a bit tech-savvy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>So, as advised above already, boot into your RE. If your system is in a similar state like mine was, you can simply press F1 on the blue screen you will have in front of your eyes, and from there click your way thru until you come to the command console. Otherwise create a bootable USB drive, e. g. using the Microsoft &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/software-download\/windows10\">Media Creation Tool<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in, please launch the &#8220;diskpart&#8221; program (which is the &#8220;Swiss Officer Knife&#8221; for low-level disk management in Windows since a while, similar to what &#8220;fdisk&#8221; did in the past).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">&gt;diskpart <br \/>Microsoft DiskPart version 10.0.22000.653<br \/>Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.<br \/>DISKPART&gt;<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Then press &#8220;list disk&#8221; to enumerate all disks that are present in your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">DISKPART&gt; list disk<br \/> Disk ###  Status         Size     Free     Dyn  Gpt<br \/>   --------  -------------  -------  -------  ---  ---<br \/>   Disk 0    Online          931 GB    93 GB        *<br \/>   Disk 1    No Media           0 B      0 B<br \/>   Disk 2    Online           29 GB      0 B        *<br \/>   Disk 3    No Media           0 B      0 B<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Make <em>absolutely <\/em>sure you identify the correct one to contain  your Windows installation.
