Thanks Julian, I ran the chkdsk/f 2x, then again on startup, said it was ok, but dism still reporting unrepairable, tried to point to wim file on win 10 disc but the code kept giving me an error. I hoped that redownloading the updates would fix it, but no go. So I requested a chkdsk /r to see if it can fix the component store corruption, and rebooted. Who knows how long it will take.

If I could afford a 1Tb backup drive, and didn't have tons of crackd stuff, I'd of skipped the BS and just done a clean install. I'd love to know your thoughts about eventually moving to a 4Tb personal cloud, I found mixed reviews, and I'm taking a risk using online storage with my 'other' files. Other than a backup of my files, I want to access my media from all my devices, and be able to share files /media...
Idk if it helps but I did rename the windows7.old file to keep it from deleting, and I still have the windows 7 repair disc. If there's anyway I can use either to repair dism. Some have reported a in place upgrade fixes the prob? I may end up doing it anyway, God knows what else has been lost. I would like to know how to do that from command prompt, just in case I need to, if it fails to boot in the future. I guess we'll see how this works, it's been on 17% for over 4 hrs.

Anyway, thank you both for hanging on with me through this process.
