Thanks Denis, If I had the time I would really like to go through some of these reference sources. Sadly I don't have the time as I am trying to understand yaml to get my Home Assistant setup working correctly :D

Thanks @FreeBooter . I actually came across your script whilst searching the forums. You clearly have some programming background or at the least a clear grasp of command prompt so understand what you are doing. I looked at the script and was lost so went back to what was basic for my needs...

Many thanks Denis. That's really informative. Robocopy has come a long way from the days it was invented to write and copy data from satellites with poor data links. I will amend my script with the \Mir switch and put a value in MT:[N] and just try it. To be honest after @hsehestedt revelation...

Thanks @hsehestedt is there a pause option in robocopy to wait between scripts? I'm just wondering if a backup fails with errors if it will still proceed to the next script? Thanks. All my important PCs and devices have static IP addresses. Not so bad lately but at one time I could find devices...

Many thanks for the quick reply @jimbo45 I have used Linux but I find it very difficult to find my way around it like I do windows particularly networking and smb etc. If I was brought up on DOS it may be a different story but in this particular scenario our network server also runs plex and...

I’m reviewing my backup strategy of all my personal files. I have about 900Gb of family photos and videos which I want to maintain. Currently these sit on a PC which acts as a family network server. This has 8Tb of storage made up of several drives in mirror raid mode. Local PCs have their...

I am trying to set up a way of easily switching between accounts on a windows 11 home PC whilst logged in. If neither account is logged in both account icons are available bottom left of screen but its more convoluted when logged in to any of the accounts i.e. If you:- click on start. Click...

The motherboard on a PC I use for video editing is failing so I have transferred the SSD to another working system with Windows 11. While I was still able to boot the old system I uninstalled all graphics, sound, chipset and other peripheral drivers and backed up my licence to my Microsoft...

I have posted here to thank you @LesFerch for the information about this issue Windows Explorer on later builds of Win11 and for your excellent Switch Explorer 2.0 tool. I have been tearing my hair out trying to understand why on two clean installs of Win11 on two separate Dell Inspiron 545's...

I did a Win 11 installation on unsupported hardware following advice elsewhere on this forum on a Dell Inspiron Laptop. Under normal circumstances I would do a clean install but there was software on the laptop I needed to retain as I don't have the serial numbers. I now have a running Win 11...

Hi @Megahertz I am assuming you are not using EasyBCD to add the other OS to the boot manager. If you could show me what to do that would be great. Many thanks

Thanks @cereberus Should I set up Win11 SSD as the first boot device in the bios and then install EasyBCD on Win 11 and add Win10 there?

Many thanks @hsehestedt. If I were starting from scratch then I would certainly consider your suggestion. However the OS I want to retain is Windows 10 which is going out of support and the OS has installations of certain software that is no longer available due to the company going out of...

Thanks @Wisewiz for the prompt.

I am seeking advice on the best method to dual boot windows 10 (22h2) and windows 11 (23H2) each on separate SSD's Despite a considerable amount of help from colleagues on this forum to get win 11 installed on unsupported hardware I eventually caved in and did a clean install of Win 11 on...
