WinRar and 7-Zip. Several times I have decided to go with one or the other and every time I found something that one of them could not do, or do as well. 7-zip can extract from several file types (some .exe's or .msixbundle for example) that WinRar just scratches it's head at. But 7-zip has...

I made it about 2 hours before bailing in disgust. Was not even finished with the "after install" setup/tweaks.

It's like the Whitehouse youtube page. comment disabled, dislikes:likes at 10,000:1 and the dislikes get deleted over and over and over and over and over just to keep them looking like 10:1. (n)

I'd like to see it change back to Windows 7. I mean modernized, but, old control panel, start menu, spyware free, bloat free, etc,etc.

78.12.0 for those of us who prefer the "LTS branch" https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/78.12.0esr/

I'm betting it was an MBR thing, and that Windows just really does not like all it's "eggs in one basket" especially on NVME, at the time anyway (they were still pretty new), maybe improved by now. So I had to give it no other choice.

Cloud anything = Oh Hell NOPE! for me. I want my stuff on MY computer/external drive, not someone else's. Someone who could go out of business and vanish at any moment or simply get hacked or whatever. Nope! Not to mention it requires internet, which could also fail at any moment. That and...

I absolutely had to remvoe the non-nvme drives, but now that I think about it...it may be because I was also using MBR and not GPT on everything. Maybe when using GPT, then Windows is happy to install on the 4 GPT partitions it creates rather than spread its boot files to other drives?

Didn't read entire thread, so forgive me if I repeat. I have installed Windows to an NVME drive. The problem was/is I have to physically remove all other (SATA) drives before installing or Windows will either refuse to install to it, or spread it's system/boot files onto other drives. I did...

First: This is coming from a guy who DOES NOT leave these programs installed on my PC. I use the "rescue" media to image and restore backups when I feel like it. So all the following is from that perspective. I don't use or want the added, automated, social networking, bloat (Acronis) installed...

Not sure what mainboard you have, but wouldn't you most likely have TPM already via a BIOS setting? My Asrock B450 based board (with Ryzen5 2600) does. It's called fTPM in the BIOS and once enabled and rebooted, a "Security Device" toggle becomes available under "Trusted Computing" section. Both...

I got it to install without modifying the iso or anything after learning which BIOS switches to throw. That said, I made it through about 2 hours of exploring and configuring before reaching my "NOPE!" limit and restoring my 10 backup. It was ignoring, and resetting my GPEDIT.msc settings...

Yeah, I was thinking of that too, but wanted to try the standard "legit" method first to avoid that in the equation if I run into problems further in. I usually do run legacy/mbr just because UEFI has caused problems with...something, every time I try it out. Stuff like Acronis True Image boot...

Bingo! Think I sorted it, will edit first post for folks who may stumble across this... Time to go try 11 again.

Yeah, I imagine there's a setting I am missing that is causing the TPM or something not to work properly. Like IOMMU or SVM or something probably has to be enabled with it...don't know. I ran the tools, but being that my usual install is MBR, some of the "requirements" can not be enabled and...
