The MoBo has a button for that, didn't have any effect. The fact that it posted when flipping the case, given the past experience, was a dead giveaway

My only real questions were: a) After Oct, was the upgrade still free, and b) How reliable is the "in-place" upgrade. Hardware and storage compatibility had already been verified. Still it was good to see that "all the boxes had been checked" so thanks to all. That being said ... things...

He's upgrading the system, that's the only reason he's upgrading the OS. I' used Rufus before but curiosity was tweaked as to whether MS got their act together .... he did in place from 7 Pro to 10 pro to get where he is now. But back then he had a dual OS installation on a separate drives...

The current build and "plan" is in the 1st post ... upgraded includes MSI MPG X870E EDGE TI WIFI Ryzen 9 9950X CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB 2x16GB KRYOSHEET 33 X 33 Everything else stays and "He has a Win 10 Pro system that he wants to move to 11 Pro"

1st think I did after doing a build for someone, was run Belarc Advisor, print 2 copies; one I gave to user, other I filed. Is the product key different from the "digital license" ? And since it's NOT a OEM system builder OS, but an actual confirmed retail copy, (confirmed via slmgr -dli...

Started Building PCs in early 1990s because I couldn't find what I wanted for my engineering business; and over the years our home / office was "nerd central" for colleagues, employees, kids school chums, family whatever. Couple hundred builds were done on that build / test bench tho my wife...

Sorry for my typo, I have a hand condition called Dupytrens Contracture which restricts the movement of my ring fingers on each hand. I'm guessing you might be familiar as its known to affect primarily folks of Viking decent. So sometimes, especially when hitting the shift key for Caps, that...

Were you backing up from Windows 7 ? Was tour file bigger than 2 GB ? I tried Leo's method and it didn't work I tried several other you tube methods, didn't work We been using Thunderbird for over 20 years and used MozBackup while it was supported and used it a few times when something got...

I use my tools to be efficient to see what each one does that would be a luxury I don't have .. if I had the time to go to the 14 tabs and toggle things on off, then but getting projects out the door takes precedence. Compounded by the fact that I installed the program, left for lunch and came...

That's the procedure I have used in the past. This time I looked at a few videos using compressed files and suggesting that if it's over 2 GB, you need to split them up into separate compressed files. It was also complicated by the fact that %appdata% didn't actually show you where the...

I think I will be using it but it really needs a better tutorial, w/ screenshots

The 1st thing in the tutorial should say ... If something hit the fan and you want your old desktop back, open the app and make sure your screens look like this:

This is something I have had to do several times over the last 20 years but not in a very long time. The directions on the Mozilla site have always been rather straightforward. Not so much at this point. For profiles larger than 2 GB, they suggest doing it manually. These folders were not...

Now that makes sense ! I have become a big fan of Enhance ... I haven't done any changes as yet but I like the GUI ... next to every option you can toggle on / toggle off and there's a warning icon next to anything ya can't put back. I found all the tabs and descriptions in Open Shell to be a...

I tried several offered solutions and just got home do not going to ,,, I see that Open Shell is still installed but I have not touched it. I installed it,say it popup on screen and left the building ... looking at the tabs and options the wording, everything is entirely unfamiliar. If I had...
