Thanks Fellas: I just ran Windows memory tester and it came up good. I realize this is far short of memtestx86 but for right now this is as far as I have been. I have disabled Secure Boot in one attempt with no joy. One curious thing I haven't tried yet is to enable CSM. While scratching...

I am dual booting Windows 10 & 11 and will add Ubuntu eventually. The empty partition will hold images.

suatsini54, Thank You for replying. Can you tell me where I might find the 2023 certificates? And my USB looks the same as you show. Do I assign a drive letter to the EFI partition then remove the drive letter once the swap is complete? Also I don't know what these certificates will look like...

I've been trying to use the latest edition of memtest86. Following the instructions in the extracted zip folder, I put a copy on a USB drive using the enclosed executable for that purpose. When the process is complete it looks like (in "Drive Management") the USB has 4 partitions, one being EFI...

In the Tutorial about the TRIM function I learned a lot about how TRIM works. To keep from cluttering the tutorial with tangential questions I'm posting here to further learn about laying out my SSD. I haven't used SSDs before this build so I am finding out a lot more about them............ It...

Thank You Bree: I misunderstood what I read. (It happens...:rolleyes: )

A question. If Trim clears data from the drive how does this prolong the life of the drive? When the data is cleared doesn't seem to matter since any erase operation means another write to the SSD? Are we saying data must be written to a prepared area instead of just writing at the time of...

I have a question about the "Setup network connected devices automatically" check box. Once I get my network with 3 Windows 11 PCs and maybe a Windows 10 PC, should I disable this option? I really don't want one computer modifying or changing settings in another... Thanks Brink!

sdowney717, Thanks a heap! Exactly what I was looking for!

Thank You All very much for your replies. I may try GPT in the future but right now I am grateful to know the details about installing and using Windows 10 with 11 key if necessary. I am looking forward to getting used to 11 or not. We'll see. Right now, although I have Windows 11 Pro and...

Hi All: I am getting ready to put Win 11 on here so went to the store and bought 11 Pro. Now I learn it will only work with GPT. I can certainly make my system GPT but prefer not to. Can I use this key to install another Windows 10 Pro on this machine for dual boot? Thanks for the advise. Leo625
