@glasskuter that fixed it. Thanks

Recently I find Edge has opened a second browser. How do I prevent this? I open Edge, do what I want to do and upon closing Edge I find another open Edge.

I had a problem with restoring with the USB rescue disk. I have fully licensed Macrium Reflect X on my PC and older 8.1 free version on a dual booted external SSD. I have an X rescue disk and an 8.1 rescue disk. My PC's internal OS drive developed a boot problem and I was going to restore a...

Thank You all for suggestions and help. I finally give up. The external SSD still boots and I can use it if needed. I'll use it as is until no longer works. I'm closing this even though it's not really resolved. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Jack

@spapakons I tried the bcd commands that I use to create the dual boot but didn't work. bcdedit /export c:\oldstore bcdedit /createstore c:\emptystore bcdedit /import c:\emptystore /clean bcdboot c:\windows

@XxXxX Steve, not a problem. I;m retired and time is what I have. @spapakons I agree with you. But how do I make it standalone bootable? I installed it on the internal drive from a Macrium Reflect disc image. I used Macrium to "fix boot" but what it did is configure the rescue flash...

@XxXxX Steve, no go as I suspected.

@XxXxX Steve, list the rest of your instructions Thanks/Jack

Yes, post the instructions. I'll give it a shot. Thanks Jack

Yes old recording studio software. This started out as a Win 7 drive, upgraded to 8 then 8.1 then 10 and finally 11. Migrated from mechanical hard drive to SSD, early in Win 11. One app even requires the old Apple Quicktime.

Steve, tried that, Windows tells me this does not meet requirements for Windows 11 and then reports the external drive as a flash drive then aborts. I'm ready to abandon trying to upgrade. I've been effing with this since September. I only need it if a former recording studio client needs...

First, Windows repair/upgrade won't run whether the usb flash drive is created by Rufus or media creation tool as it detects the external drive as a flash drive. Second its bootable as part of dual boot but the Laptop's internal drive has the boot files. I've got to create the boot on the drive.

@spapakons I considered installing it, but it's not standalone bootable. Not sure how to make it bootable.

At least its still bootable and I can use the recording studio apps if needed (and it was needed last month).

Nothing suggested, so far, has worked. Am I "SOL"?
