It has a tape drive for NTBackup to use. That makes all its normal 'power up' noises, so power supplies look good. Good morning Marie. I can relate to that, I was definitely feeling fuzzy by the time I called it a day.

Good morning everyone. Technically my drought is over, I've seen some rain at last. Not that it amounts to much.... ...apparently that's it for today :(

It's the disks. I don't hear them spin up any more.... By the way, while we've been chatting I've just run eight full upgrades across three machines. It's been a busy night for all the Insider builds, they all got new upgrades..... Time I went to bed, I'll see you tomorrow (TKO permitting).

Yeah, I though I had posted it here too, but apparently not. I had to go back to 10F to find it.... I have an NT 4.0 Server in my computer room upstairs, so that I could practice on it at home. Well I say 'server' - the OS is, at least. The hardware was cobbled together from odds and ends and...

That one was a full blown feature update and an enablement package to turn on the new Insider flight certificate.

No, I never had much use for 2000. When I switched careers to IT support it was all Windows 3.11 of the desktops and NT 3.5 on the servers. '95 was launched while I was in IT support, I even got tickets to go to the London launch event. Been there - got the T-shirt (literally) :D My...

I skipped 98SE and Win2000. After XP I skipped Vista too (luckily, by all accounts). My next OS was Win7. I avoided Win8 like the plague! Win7 of course got the free upgrade to Win10, and from there to Win 11.

That enablement package (KB5073032 - 2026.07 C - Flight Cert Refresh) apparently was what turned on the new Flight Certificate and changed the expiry date to Nov. 1st 2027.

It was a Feature Update by Enablement Package (eKB). It's as much a 'Feature Update' as 25H2 was, that too was an eKB. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/blog/what-are-windows-enablement-packages/

And so it was - a Feature Update by Enablement Package. :thumbsup: There's no Windows.old, and there are a new KB5122776 BuildNumber Update Enablement package installed.

Yeah, I heard that too. Me, I stuck with '95 for as long as possible. My next OS was XP.

Well at least it's done now. 'Win 11 Home out of the box' - nice one ;)

Last time has to be a full update because the Insider signing certificate had to be updated to provide the new 2027 expiry date. I was rather hoping the 26300 > 26340 update would just be a simple enablement package though.

Good afternoon Marie. You told us yesterday you'd have a busy Monday.... ...so, was the TKO worth it? I hope you got all the errands done.

That looks to be an improvement for 25H2, but it doesn't go far enough. They lost data because they didn't read the small print. It should be a warning in big red letters like this.... Only on my PC Files will be in the Pictures folder on this PC and not in OneDrive. Online-only files can't be...
