You'll have to earn them the hard way, on the support threads. None of the reactions here in the chillout room count towards the total.

    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.

Evening Bree :cool: :coffee:
Yeah i know.. that is why i have posted in the other part of the forum too :-)
But is hard to give advice on win11 home/pro as i never used it more then a few minutes, back when 11 was just released when i figured out the workaround and make a howto install 11 on unsupported hardware. :-)
win7 i know.. so things in win11 that is the same as win7 i do know.. but i have also forgotten where some stuff are and what things is named on english installs as i have swedish installs... OS-translations is not always pure 1:1.

It's not all Windows here. There are always questions on Firefox, that's cross-platform stuff. And I believe I've seen you earn some good reactions scores on various cyber security discussion threads.

True i have gotten a few and I'm thankful for them all. :-) :-)
Cyber security is a hard one.. it's a fine line to walk in here, as when some questions things and ask for a deeper explanation i easy step over the line on rule4.. as i did get a bunch of post deleted do to that rule a couple of years back, so i promised Brink to never discuss ethical hacking in here. :-) :-)
So to advice something is one thing.. to explain why it is another ballgame. 🤓*LOL* 😅
But i think i have manage the fine line pretty okay lately, as i haven't gotten any new security stuff removed. 😎(y)
