What happens to the Registry during REPAIR install?
Lots of similar questions, but no specific answer.
I need to do a 'repair install' on Win 7 premium - 64 bit system. I can boot and the system runs OK - IE 11 is not running well. I am prepared to take the time to do a repair install.
If I do this type install, does it create a NEW registry? Or save the old registry?
If it retains the OLD registry, I may end up with the same problem. True?
If it creates a new registry, then I would have to re-install all my software. True? If so, I may as well to a complete (fresh install).
I guess I don't understand the effects of a repair install. Can you help me?
Thanks.
