I think you can just bypass that as presumably you’re the administrator?

I’m still using it and never had an issue. Once you turn off annoying reminders.

Thanks

So basically it would get backed up in both locations and if you deleted one copy in one location (within idrive) the other copy would remain in the backup in its new location. I could test it out to see - should have thought of that.

For @AK6DN Just trying to work something out and wondered if you could confirm. I often save documents to the desktop, then later file them somewhere else and delete them from the desktop. If I go into idrive and delete any unwanted files from the desktop (becasue they're filed somewhere...

Can’t remember :-). I’ll check.

I was going to say I haven't had any issues with it at all. But I've found one. Right clicking on a photo to save it. It takes almost a minute before a save dialogue comes up.

I had something similar. But it still let me carry on. As Berton says, make sure you're not connected to the internet. If it says oops something went wrong just wait a bit. It should then take you to the page to set up a local account.

It's not so much about will it activate, but other issues you might run into, such as different hardware and drivers, or boot problems. Which while they can be sorted out, might take longer than a clean install and still be the odd issue. I guess you could try imaging both computers then...

So I've been having issues with idrive failing to do daily backups recently. I keep getting a notification that says idrive backup engine on this computer has stopped. I go to services and it shows it's running automatically, but turn it off and on again and it starts working again - for about...

Password manager - good point. I use a Firefox account with master password.

I'm no expert on this but had to look into it recently for the teenager. I believe the 4070ti is faster than the 4080 super, and also cheaper. 800 psu is fine for it. Edit - apparently I'm incorrect - I was just looking at the top numbers on here :-) Further down it says the 4080 super is...

Not an essential app but I also install Windows 7 games from Winaero (Chess and Spider solitaire).

I have this one - you can just take your drive out and put it in this external casing, plug it into another computer and copy the files off. Ugreen M2 nvme ssd enclosure

I would personally. I believe there's a way round getting an install from one computer to work on another one, but it could cause more hassle and quite quick to do a clean install. A clean install means the activation, settings and drivers will all be installed for the new computer rather than...
