Attempting to upgrade to 25H2 on a compatible laptop running 23H2, which has updates. Passed the compatibility check. It appears using Install Assistant will do a fresh install. Not good. I've backed up with a Macrium (free ver 8) image plus copied files. Question is does Install Assistant...

Thanks for posting this Megahertz, not the issue I'm facing but it may help someone else. (y)

Thank you Ghot, Helmut & Bree. I'll try that. Always confounding when you get misinformation on the internet. I could find Bios Back Flash in Bios, but don't know how to get versions to list yet. I'll have to research that and try. Appreciate your help.

TY Ghot, I'm trying to get both the original bios and the new one.

I read you can use "the System Information app" to find the history of your Bios, versions, when updated, but under Settings>System>About that is not listed. So far I haven't been able to find another way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TY, I'll try again today. No, the first SSD is 'EFI system partition', NTFS and unformatted.

Thanks Bree & FreeBooter. I'm trying to run memTest86 but I can't get the boot menu to list usb boot. (I have usb boot enabled and secure boot disabled but usb does not 'list'.) I'll run the extended test in W11 and keep trying to find how to get anything to boot from usb on this LOQ 15 (Loq...

Nothing unusual running. Browser & Explorer. But 78 background processes.

Thank You FreeBooter & glasskuter. (y)

Why would W11 home lose my setting to delay updates? I've had to do this twice now. Says it needs to update and restart and I check settings and it has completely deleted my setting to delay. This makes no sense. Does the update every lose this setting in other people's system? (Ran some...

Apologies for any confusion everyone. I mean screen saver worked fine, then did not.

Happened today and within the last two weeks, and at least a few times before that. Been on this Home W11 since about May 1st. How the ____ can W11 lose something this simple?! Running ver 23H2, build 22631.3737. Ran a search: no results. Thank you, Mustachio
