Use bog standard diskpart to create the vhdx - when you create the vhdx file there's an option type=fixed to create the full space initially or type=expandable. You set the maximum size with the parameter maximum=. Then attach the vdisk, select the new disk, exit diskpart and then allocate disk...

I have both stand alone office 2021 and 2024 (LTSC versions) on DVD's from work so installed from the DVD not via Click to run / online. Trying each version in a different VM I've definitely come to the concluston to stick with Office 2021 LTSC - Ms have said that there will be at least one...

The 8K signals were done in a Studio test area - so not standard broadcast -- not sure if anybody is doing those in public anywhere yet - and the 4K signals were probably also of better quality than the "public" signals. However I'm sure as Internet speeds routinely become around 1Gbps and...

On a test to a studio with real full 8K UHD then even down rezzing to 4K UHD on a typical 50 inch domestic TV -- not those mega expensive things - it was clearly visible as an improvement compared with bog standard 4K UHD as output for example the Wimbledon tennis on BBC's iPlayer. What was...

Hi folks Using Outlook 2021 with a gmail IMAP account works perfectly. On Outlook 2024 loads of the gmail stuff is replicated into the "Important" folder and have to be manually moved to the wastebin. Staying with Office 2021 until it doesn't work any more. !!! -- Also Publisher is still...

You won't be disappointed. !!! Really easy to set up - either connect a USB cable or use Wifi -- suggest for the initial set up a USB cable is probably the simplest - use the one that comes with the printer as it's a special connector into the printer rather than bog standard USB cable at both...

I really suspect until TV's themselves can handle this stuff properly (and why would I want to pay up to £1000 or €1300 or US equiv just for a TV even if the new OLED one's are really good - apparently !!) is BONKERS it's not worth the upgrade - certainly until programs are made from scratch in...

You don't need the UHD option - basic Prime or Netflix will cover 4 devices. Cheers jimbo

I used to do some odd free lance Pro photo shoots for travel posters etc. These days there's a diminishing market for that type of stuff and you really need to be a full time top notch pro photographer to justify that size and even bigger A2 posters. A4 these days is the biggest I print --...

Hi folks I find especially on a 50 inch TV which is UHD quality there's almost no difference when viewing in normal HD or a program supposedly transmitted in UHD 4K format. While in the UK for example I was watching the Wimbledon Tennis and England's World cup game against DR-Congo on its...

I don't print that often either and the Epson ET ecotank works perfectly Can't remember the actual number but the bottles are cheap -- also does decent photo prints too - although not A3 size - but not too much need of that size any more -- office "Real estate space" is more important ...

Working fine as VM - simple upgrade via WU from previous build Jun 19 XXXXXXX.8697 cheers jimbo

I'm still running Windows XP as a VM --I've some old Vinyl record cutting hardware which will only run on XP !!! plus the software that I got years ago with that also has a "perpetual license" to create Vinyls from music. Modern software is hideously expensive with for small individuals really...

Have to laugh though really -- what else can you do -- but I think the UK has forgotten that Iceland in 1948 was one of the founding members of N.A.T.O and still is a committed member. !!! It seems almost a CRIME to laugh or have fun in an airport. = What on earth is WRONG with people if they...

Unsupported CPU I suspect or CPU doesn't have some of the more modern instruction set.-- good way then to install this is to create iso via UUP DUMP / similar , then use RUFUS to remove some of the Windows restrictions and then install again or use DISM /ApplyImage and bcdboot. Unlikely to...
