I am using a DELL XPS8700 Desktop, normally. Is it a specific combination of keys (F-key) that I need to use?
One week after doing the Win 10 upgrade, I am getting this error (above). I made a restore point, and wonder if I am able to use it w/o lost of data files?How can I recover from this error message?

Do I need to be in safe mode to do the restoration?
Should I use Advanced Options-refresh of win10 ( only)?
My recent efforts failed to solve this issue.
After trying to to go back to a restore point, which was made immediately after the upgrade, after trying to reset this PC, and after trying the built-in WIN10 Auto Repair, I have not been successful in solving this problem. I tried this all while NOT in Safe Mode; but used shift-click Restart from the signin screen to access Trubleshooting routines.
- Restore Point option was unable to reload a specific file
- PC Reset option had a problem; no joy!
- Auto Repair routine failed; no joy.

At the time of doing the Win8.1 to Win 10 upgrade, I made an ISO copy oF the D/L onto DVD. Can that be of help to re-instalL Win10 over the existing?
Does anyone know of a Registry hack that would allow the use of a stored .bakup of the User Profile?

Hello Vince,
Were you able to try what's in the note box under step 1 to enable the built-in Administrator account to do the tutorial while signed in to that account?

Brink:
I am using registry editor from command prompt. Drilled down to c:windowssystem32config inside the Load Hive dialog window. Have selected (checked box) the SAM file; clicking on Open opens error message that says:
SAM
This file is in use.
Enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program.
_______
I am at a loss, since I am not running any other program!
Any suggestions?
The SAM file is listed as being 64KB file size.
Open a command prompt at boot using OPTION ONE below with installation media instead. This way it shouldn't be in use.
Command Prompt at Boot - Open in Windows 10
