Good night Mr. Davezav

Thank you so much for your help.
I just did what you wrote me and change date on BIOS to 05/04/2014 and everything works now as Windows 8, the original one OS on my computer.
Now I would like to install Windows 10 but without thousands of updates. Is it possible?

How can I do that?

I downloaded I kind of a tool to make a "clean install of Windows 10" but I'm affraid that this will format my computer once. 

Thank you once.

A "clean install"  WILL wipe  your machine and reformat --- butIMHO thats the best way to go.....the UPDATES from win8 to win 10 are what caudsed me problems.....just backup anything you need to keep before you do it.

My expererience over the years with anything windows-related has been that a clean install ALWAYS works/runs better than upgrading.....it's a hassle, but worth it.
