How to use SFC with offline solutions to repair windows 10
I have a corrupted Windows 10 home on a laptop and the files that SFC would use are also corrupted. I have a installation disk of Windows 10 pro and the system files look like they are stored in a \sources directory on the DVD. I am having problems using /offbootdir and /offwindir to get SFC to use the system files on the installation DVD. Can someone help me with the syntax or perhaps another way of repairing this install?

Is there a way to install Win 10 on it before I install it on the laptop and have it keep the "C" designation?
This is not a good way to install Windows 10. Install the drive in the computer and install Windows 10 onto the drive. Much easier and better this way. Licensing will be good to.

Gentlemen (because so many have given good advice)
I must be the most insubordinate client here, not following all instructions to the letter.
So I used the Paragon utility to restore from archive, put the disk back into the laptop, and then ran the Paragon recovery utilities with no joy. I then put a windows 10 enterprise disk in and ran all the repair dos commands listed above. Still no joy and the screen says that windows needs repairing. My installation disk has two options, one for a clean install and another to keep personal files but loose applications. Maybe I should take the advice to do a clean windows 10 install and then do the recover from archive on top of that.
