I downloaded the latest version of the Media Creation Tool
(MediaCreationTool_22H2.exe) which should be more up to date than what I
used to install W10 Pro a few months ago. i used it to make an install
thumb drive. The last chance I have to make this work is to reinstall
W10 Pro from it, using the option to "Keep personal files and apps".

This is a deplorable thing to have to do, but it would appear that I
have no choice. If this doesn't work, then I will have to do a complete
reinstall. I will be seriously pissed off if this happens.

Yes, I will back up all my data. I always do that. And yes, I do have
every setup filed needed to reinstall all drivers and programs that I'm
currently using.
