They seem to be pretty helpful there in my quick review.

Alternatively, if you know how to just reinstall windows (and what that means) and don't mind reinstalling all non-windows apps you may've installed that you still need (things like Chrome, Office, Printer Software, that kind of thing) afterward ... that's how I typically deal with crap like this.

Backup important stuff first of course (though there's a way to reinstall windows that should NOT mess with personal files, never hurts to be safe).

Tons of tutorials out there on how to reinstall Windows.
