They were donations for school use from a former school board member-friend. I can make suggestions. My wife brought them home for me to get working with win11 pro To make the ACER better an SSD will definitely help a lot. Things being what they are, who knows what will happen. So far I like...

Activated both laptops with keys from stack social, relatively cheap price plus new customer is 15% off. They both work, the Acer speed could be improved with an SSD The Asus comes up fast.

That ASUS Q550 laptop needed 3 things to make it work better, and it is working great. The Intel 7260 wifi kept disconnecting, I had to switch from intel to Microsoft driver, both were in the 11 install. took a while to figure that out. The keyboard lights needed ATK_Package_V100061...

the Acer has 16gb ram and 1 TB drive and actually runs ok The ASUS has an Nvidia card in it, touchscreen, 8gb, 1tb drive, Q550LF, and feels a lot faster Neither have SSD. These were donated to our school. When I installed 11 pro, I noticed an option for 11 pro education. Do all 11 pro keys...

silly thing did the same exact thing as the ACER. I told it dont have an internet connection, never connected to internet, and it put my user profile 'sdown' on the ASUS. Then I connected to my wifi, was doing a lot of updates, and suddenly whamo, black screen, windows ran into a problem and has...

looked around and found a 4.8 amp power supply for the ASUS, so will now install ii on it too

Gemini AI says this about them, unfortunately the person who donated the ASUS to the school gave us the wrong Power brick, so I cant power it on yet. Based on the photos of the labels you provided, you have two very different machines from the mid-2014 era. Here is the breakdown of what is...

back label. On front say Aspire E 15 AMD E2

Laptop is an Aspire E 15. Yeah, the drive is a spinner, so it is not very fast. Using a SSD, will speed it up a lot.

When I got to the select country name I held Shift-Function-F10 command box opened, typed this OOBE\BYPASSNRO then enter key Laptop rebooted, when I got to setup internet, selected I don't have internet connection And after security question and answer, I am sitting at the desktop

I don't know if Gemini AI is drawing the correct conclusions about my current experience, anyone know why this happened?

it may no longer work, and I dont see why they would make it so hard to install window 11, I cant be the only one this happens to https://ideasawakened.com/post/microsoft-windows-11-local-account-oobe-bypassnro-fails That is a very sharp catch. You are right that Microsoft has been trying to...

I am doing a reset process now. at 14%, and will not allow it to connect to my wifi network. Windows never let me setup a new user on the new install, somehow it grabbed my user name 'sdown' from my desktop. following Gemini AI instructions for the moment The "Local Account" Game Plan The...

Do I need to start over, go back online at MS redownload windows 11 and make a new USB installer, and reinstall Is there some option at MS to download an install for a PC you already have versus a new pc? I skipped option of typing in a key as I need to buy one, and was not going to unless...

we were given an ASUS and ACER laptop. Wife plans to use this ACER laptop. I just installed win11 pro, the install wiped the drive. I used an install I downloaded from MS on a usb I made, and that usb I have used couple of time and it worked Windows 11 installed, It asked do you want to go...
