True, the USB options are more for extreme secret agent cases. :-)

OneDrive is a big headache POS in my opinion. It may be responsible for your messed up folder/user situation. Did you upgrade IdeaPad or did it come with 11? Sometimes an upgrade can also mess with folders. Also I use a local account as I don't like all the background crap that seems to go on...

Didn't see this thread until your latest post. That is what I did when I jumped to 11, didn't use the System/Updates, and didn't have activation issues. Sounds like it is the better way to go. JMO it might also result in a cleaner upgrade. Glad it worked for you.

A freakin classic!

Definitely the easier option. For the super paranoid there is also the use USB boot to completely wipe the partition, ones or zeroes. A bit much I guess unless you're working for the CIA. :cool:

Ok wanted to be sure. Got me on the Mac Parallels since no experience there. Maybe this at least gets you on the right track: KB Parallels: How to use CD/DVD drive on either Mac or Windows

Perhaps you haven't added/enabled a virtual DVD drive as @johngalt suggested? Install an operating system on a VM in the System Center VMM fabric

Yep, totally wiped my factory original 10 install when I got it. Reinstalled a nice clean 10 ISO download and key was automatically applied. When I upgraded to 11 no additional key info needed. It's in the chip.

To be clear, you can boot into bios when the usb is not inserted? If so then the issues seems it would be with the usb or your boot options in bios.

I assume they will pair with another bluetooth device?

I'll choose to go to one of the extreme cable "news" channels if I want my daily dose of soul destroying politics and opinions.

I feel a bit more sad about the state of everything in the world now that I read this entire thread. Thanks, I guess.

Wondering what issues you were having with MSI Control Panel. I've used it for several years now and works well, I especially like the controls for the fans. I do have the latest installed from the MSI support download. The version I show is 2.0.145.0. It may be the Steel Series utility you...

Yea, been using it for years and not aware of any logs. Are you referring to saves?
