My main rack PC is screwed. Windows will not boot . I can not install Windows again for some odd reason or repair the old install without errors. I have been screwing around for a few days now and just said ," F the rack pc for now"

I have a Beelink n150 coming that I will install Blueiris on only .

Question #1 if I can get access to my old Blueiris files. Can I somehow transfer my settings to the new install .

Thx, vandyman

I kind of figured that.
I guess I will have to play around with dahua config app to find my IP addresses again for the cams.

Thx
FWIW, I have mine written down (I need all the help I can get),;)
 
Yeah, I'm sure I have them written down somewhere. LOL
Not sure what Router you have but you can check your ARP Table...there are several ways to get IP addresses...

In Command Prompt (type CMD in Windows Start Menu) you can type:
arp -a
to get your list...but it is only a list of the subnet your PC is on. As you see above the Interface is my VLANs which are on different subnets than my PC...so the Router gives the total ARP table...

So, I know you are abandoning your Rack PC but do you have an SSD or M.2 that Windows was on? They can get corrupted and need to be replaced. Hard Drives you can just low level format, have not had much luck in savaging SSDs...
