[Leica] Totally Off topic Windows 10 question

OK.  Somehow I lost all my USB ports including my keyboard and mouse. 
well, not really somehow.  I had lost some of my USB ports when my 
graphics card failed, and was trying from the device manager to delete 
the USB hubs and then having Windows reinstall them, and guess what.  I 
deleted the hub that controlled the mouse and keyboard.  So, I though 
just restart and it will find the missing hubs.  Well, restartng does 
not bring them back.  I put my old boot drive back in and it works 
perfectly, so not a hardware issue.  Anything I find on the web talks 
about click here, or type this, but I DON'T HAVE THE BLOODY MOUSE OR 
KEYBOARD SO HOW CAN YOU TELL ME TO DO THAT TO GET THEM BACK?

My old bood drive is only a few months old left when I copied it to my 
SSD, so I could just do that again and make up the few months if I can, 
but would rather find some way to recover from this. I was going to 
reinstall from a USB, but I guess you cannot reinstall and keep data and 
apps from a bootable USB, only from within a running Windows 10, which I 
do have, but can't access anything w/o a keyboard or mouse.  And I have 
unplugged everything and replugged them in but they are not recognized.

Any hints would be welcomed off list please.
