    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

My problems with MB had one unexpected effect. They spotted a lot of disk controller errors on my main backup disk. I got it's replacement yesterday evening and now have all my backups copied over. It took just over 6 hours to copy 116K files 2.53TB of data. I used FreeFileSync to do the copy so I could ignore any errors (there were none). I've verified the most recent Images so they should be ok. I also noticed an awful lot ofv stuff going back to the Win 7 days that I will never need. I'll have to work out what to do with that. Didn't get to bed until 2:30 last night so had a lie in this morning. :-)

I know what you mean, I have some 7GB in my Downloads folder that I really should sort through and cull - but you never know when something might be useful....

You' just done a 'Bree'. 2:30am is not exceptional for me - especially on a Patch Tuesday :wink:

Good afternoon - The Internet was down for a few hours early on, so no 'good morning'. It was a cloudy but much warmer start to the day. Went out and walked a few miles. Back on the computer and feeling lazy now. :-)

Wishing everyone well.

Good afternoon Mart.

I hate it when it does that, you feel so lost and cut off. Fortunately it's been long time since it last happened to me.

You caught me just as I was about to leave for my weekly drive to Oxford. Nice and sunny out, if a little cold....

    UPDATE - 11 April 2026: due to lid hinges starting to break up this laptop has been retired from active duty. The OS with all software and files has been migrated to my System Seven in 'Other systems' to carry on as my general purpose 'main machine'.

    I've now clean installed 25H2 and used Garlin's scripts to update Secure Boot to CA 2023 and revoke the PCA 2011 certificates. It's new role is to test secure boot issues.

    Info for 2021-2026:
    fully 'Windows 11 ready' laptop. Windows 10 C: partition migrated from my old unsupported 'main machine' then upgraded to 11. A test migration ran Insider builds for 2 months. When 11 was released on 5th October 2021 it was re-imaged back to 10 and was offered the upgrade in Windows Update on 20th October. Windows Update offered the 22H2 Feature Update on 20th September 2022. It got the 23H2 Feature Update on 4th November 2023 through Windows Update, 24H2 on 3rd October 2024 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 24H2, and 25H2 on 30th September 2025 through Windows Update by setting the Target Release Version for 25H2.

Hello Bree - The Internet being down is thankfully a rarity these days. The message on the helpline was that it wouldn't be fixed until 4.00 p.m. but it was back by the time I came home from the walk at around 12.00.

Well that's good. At least you had something to do while you waited.

I'm in Oxford now, using the hospital WiFi. I went to Eleven Forum only to find it was down! So were 7, 8 & 10 forums. John says they had a datacentre outage. I thought I was going to be bored for the next hour, but it's all back now.
