1 ram still can work. But performance will slow down by 20%.
If cant repair the corrupted file. He can reinstall windows 10. Make sure backup all the important data first into backup drive like D drive
problem is the windows 10 came from the pc shop that assembled the pc................i don't have a copy of it.............
can just bring the SSD to the shop to reinstall windows without bringing the whole pc ?

No need to go the shop.
Use a 8GB thumb drive to download the windows 10 from the Microsoft website into thumb drive.
After installing,remember to set your bios/UEFI boot as thumb drive when installing new windows 10.
By right. windows will auto activate the windows 10 license after installing. As window license follows your hardware.
To play safe, check and copy your windows 10 product key by running this command in Command prompt mode first.

Usually I would reformat system drive and reinstall windows using recovery disk created before hand. Because personal data all in another drive, no issue.

chkdsk meant for scan and repair system errors different from those hd tune/sentinel tools which they do not
try dism else sfc scan in safe mode which ever can solve
worst,
system restore or reset
windows 10 inbuilt with reset (inside settings) just like cellphone factory restore, it will re install back to original condition but remeber backup data

Windows 10 product key can be retrieved lah.
Go to command prompt and key in above instruction.
wmic …….
Normally, window licence is auto activated if the computer has installed windows OS before. I did many times already.

Likely is RAM faulty
Nothing wrong with Window os. It is able to repair itself
You cant install os on a hard disk without the motherboard, so bring the whole PC with you

Just using the cloned SDD will do. Throw away the existing SDD. Nowadays, they are very cheap.
