Solved Macrium, Imaging the C-Drive

Thank you

@jro11, With an Internet speed as pitifully slow as that, I'm amazed you can get anything done at all.

If you have downloaded the ISO and you’re using RUFUS to make the USB, it should only take minutes.

That's what VERIZON calls "Hi Speed DSL"... I used it for years until about 18-mo ago. It was very functional, albeit a bit slow

16060

1747

This is the best speed one can get in this area.

rufus-4.4
Checksum checked.

The one thing NO ONE has EVER accused of being at fault while responding to my efforts while reporting to this forum is this computer.

Are there ways of my personally finding out IF THE COMPUTER IS AT FAULT.

What does this represent, the year you started?

Those speeds are functional, I had those speeds for years. Basically 1.98 megabytes per second is OK in my opinion.
But have nothing to do with creating the RUFUS driven USB. What’s going on there?

Very funny 1747 is something called Military time. It represents 5:47 PM.

I apologize for quoting you. I am trying to do my best to avoid quoting anyone because I realize (or believe) that everytime I do this a message gets sent to the person I am quoting and truth be told I'm very gunshy of any responses I get on this forum.

In as many times as I have tried, in only one time did my attempt result in a quicker response (on the order of about 45 min.)--and something else happened (internally, during the process) to mess up the 35 GB Thumb drive. No one will believe me, but noticing how my C-drive was allotted such a large space for the BitLocker problem this computer had at its inception made me wonder: Is there a way I can proceed with any sort of Windows install after having COMPLETELY reformatted the C-drive?

I would of assumed that but you also posted "16060" which is not military time 1606 is.

Correct

Rufus says it's a 64GB thumb drive. There isn't a 35GB thumb drive available anywhere to my knowladge, there is however a 32GB.
Are you sure you pointed Rufus to the correct drive? I thought the J: Drive was your external LaCie?

Jro, it isn't hard, mate. Grab a USB with the capacity of 8GB or over, point RUFUS to it, select the ISO and click the start button

If it's still really slow to create the Win11 install USB, like over 10 to 15min (max in my opinion) you either have a problem with the USB or your PC has more problems than we knew about.

Rufus is correct. It's a (Was it you or Ghot that said nothing was written to disk until the process was completed?) drive.

Assuming my PC has more problems than we knew about, is there a way I can proceed with any sort of Windows install after having COMPLETELY reformatted the C-drive?

Here's more useless information:

@jro11 I have never seen an instance where I wished more that I could get my hands on someone else's system. I would happily donate my time and effort. I don't think I've ever followed a more tedious situation and I feel for you.

Sumpthin odd there..., you started at about 3pm and it's 7pm now...,
Pictures folder!?!?!?

I am for certain I am in a scene from Inception.

Jro you wont be doing anything until you create the USB with RUFUS.

Rufus is correct

Reading the USB as 58Gb is fine. RUFUS formats/wipes the USB anyway. It should also rename the USB

(talking about tedious situations) Are you affected by the Texas fires?

Earlier (2 weeks, 4 weeks, 2 months?...ago) I relocated the MS "Known Folders" away from their original location. They then relocated on their own, in duplicate places, and now, just where you noticed. Are you in the US?
