Yeah, since all my devices appear to offer me the choice of what must be 2.4G (the wi-fi connection called Rexford on my home wi-fi) as well as the 5G Rexford/5G, I just thought it was kind of odd that I must scroll down in the list to get to the Rexford/5G wi-fi connection. At any rate, good...

So I am all set on my new router. But I do have one question, which might sound dumb. When I gave my router a home network name, I named it Rexford. But now when I go to network wi-fi connections, I see that I can choose between Rexford or Rexford/5G. I did a speed test between the two of...

Oddly enough, I learned today that my new router was on the current version! Somehow over the last 2 days, the router automatically made it to the latest firmware version of V1.0.11.112_2.0.77 That was not the case when I originally posted a couple of days ago. At that time (and with the...

I did briefly speak with tech support at Netgear. I was told that I would have to go through every firmware update (since my router's last firmware update) and install them one by one. In other words, no jumping from my August 2021 firmware version to the latest firmware update. I am not sure...

I just replaced my Asus router with a new Netgear Nighthawk AX5400 (model RAX50) router. This thread is not really about my specific router, but just thought I'd put that out there. So I just installed the new router on my home network today and got all wireless devices working as well. But...

I've been using Macrium Reflect since I posted this thread in May. It's very easy to use, and just works! I would highly recommend Macrium Reflect to others. Of course, as cereberus said, best to also have another backup method as well. And Cloud storage is good these days.

That's good to know that ImgBurn still works. I know it was very popular 10 plus years ago. But given the smaller number of people who burn CDs now days, I didn't know if it was still a trusted program or not. Speaking of trust, I always try to be careful which sites I download from...

i am late getting back on here. But I installed the AnyBurn program that Ghot recommended. It appears light weight, and everything I need for the odd;/occasional need to burn data to CDs. I just used the program to burn a CD that had over 1,000 pages of medical documents to a blank CD...

I have not burned a CD in years. But I am now looking for a software solution. Can anyone recommend a program for basic CD/DVD burning? I used imgburn years ago. It was well known and liked program, by many people. But these days, I don't know. Also, for any recommend freeware, I'd like to...

I upgraded to Windows 11 back in the Spring. I was concerned about Microsoft Money Sunset being buggy. But I am pleased to report that I have not had any problems whatsoever. I just hope future Windows updates in Win 11 don't screw it up since technically MS Money Sunset is no longer...

Thanks for sharing your setup as well as the recommendation for the free partition tool. Your system looks quite fancy! I understand partitioning as it relates to a single SSD or HDD. But where I guess I am a "bone head" is getting the concept of partitioning when there are two...

You make a very good point in saying that it really depends on how much data is on the PC! The truth is, my used space on my Samsung SSD is well under 500 GB. And this new SSD has the capacity of 1TB. So yeah, I probably paid more than necessary for storage that I may never use, especially...

Unfortunately, I can't comment on that. Although I am a long-term user of Microsoft Money, I never tried to use it for anything other than my checkbook. Maybe someone else could weigh in on your post.

Yes, try using the feature of importing the ofx files into your Microsoft Money desktop check register. It works great for me after I've already previously entered my own transactions. I normally get a match (to my own transactions) every time and I can very quickly reconcile with the bank...

I recently decided to try Windows 11. But because I wasn't sure I'd want to keep it, I decided to buy a second internal hard drive to place the new installation. Plus, I wanted a larger (main) internal drive anyway. But in the short time that I've had Windows 11, I've decided it's a keeper...
