HWID2 generates and registers a permanent legitimate license on MS's activation servers
Usage: paste into Powershell, run.

Same method, use Ohook
You can also use Office.com if your needs are very minimal
or try OnlyOffice/LibreOffice and set it to save in MSOffice file formats

but you didnt care that its been on for the last eight years because your yt eceleb didnt tell you to

i'm trying to dualboot linux and windows (coming from the linux side) but every single god damn win10/11 iso i download from microsoft doesn't seem to come with any device drivers...

what am i doing wrong?

>>106237686
Because we've had Windows Update and Dynamic Update for decades now, not to mention every piece of hardware comes with a basic Windows driver on a (mini-)CD, we don't really need Windows to be 99.93% device drivers by LOC - and so they aren't.
I know this isn't the answer you want to hear, but as Windows is the default OS of the real world, even its installer kinda assumes you're starting from a working Windows install. If you're not, you're going to have to do that legwork yourself.
But hey, you're a Linux user, you're all smart and stuff - this should be easy for you, right?

>>106237733
im sorry but i think the operating system installation media should come with the generic drivers necessary to install said operating system.

Does win11 have better file management? My explorer keeps shitting itself trying to sort hundreds of images (win10). Basically I sort by date so everytime I open a folder with a lot of files explorer has an aneurysm.

>>106237749
it does, most common hardware necessary for installation are included on the windows installation media. if you have less common hardware like an old or uncommon raid controller or wifi chipset, you may need to take extra steps. like for a storage controller you can provide one during setup once you get to the partition selection

>>106237749
>>106237686
it does unless you use literal unbranded chinesium factory reject chinkshit from aliexpress

>>106237749
Nope, that's a nicheism - nobody writes or distributes drivers for niche operating systems like Linux, so that's something you have to do to cope with that.
Mainstream OSs don't have this problem - as mentioned, you have "generic drivers" on discs in your motherboard/GPU/sound card/computer box. If you've lost/misplaced/never had them because you found the machine on the side of the road, this is neither Windows' fault, nor problem.
If you want to shoot yourself in the foot, that's fine - but don't expect me to feel sorry for you while you prance around bleeding everywhere, pretending you're Microsoft's victim somehow.

>>106237777
>>106237789
>>106237811
this kind of attitude is exactly why windows is a dying platform kek, ill just use a VM instead

>>106237686
>every single god damn win10/11 iso i download from microsoft doesn't seem to come with any device drivers...
Unless you used Ventoy or WoeUSB-ng, then I'd bet on the install medium not being prepared correctly.
It's certainly complaining about "lack" of storage drivers, yeah?

>>106237908
yeah, but it does it no matter how I prepared the usb, ventoy, fedora writer, just writing the iso with dd, etc

>>106237904
It's OK anon, you're not the first freetard to come into this thread being completely wrong about every single precept you held, not to mention every word you said - and you won't be the last.

>>106237997
I can't help but notice you have not elucidated for what device the iso lacks drivers.

>>106238089
I'll bet quids he's made the classic freetard mistake of dd'ing the ISO onto his USB (but refuses to admit it). The entire civilised internet knows Windows doesn't do that standards-violating "hybrid ISO" nonsense (only UNIXes do that, because they can't/don't have generic media creation tools), so it can't see the boot device, start the Windows Setup program, or manage drives.
In his brain, this means "hurrdurr its missing drivers," because he comes from an OS where missing drivers has been in the top two complaints about it for decades, and is a terrible blight on the entire platform.

>>106238089
he's making up bullshit because w10 iso has worked on every pc i've ever used it on including an ancient 2003 abit motherboard i found while cleaning out the garage

>>106237997
You can't "just write the iso with dd" with windows dude you're larping

>>106238257
not him but as someone who uses both os's, it's so funny seeing windows users make the exact same responses from the other side of the fence

he might be doing this on purpose, as a response to how often you see this kind of behaviour from windows users in linux threads

>>106237997
Don't deal with DD, BalenaEtcher and the likes - it's not a hybrid ISO to begin with. If you formatted the USB flash drive as FAT32 and the installation files are on it, then the firmware should know to boot from /efi/boot/bootx64.efi (as it should)
Otherwise it deals with floppy emulation fuckery in BIOS/legacy mode or when booting from optical media (seeing as it uses UDF as a filesystem.)

Windows has a fair share of generic storage drivers - IDE, AHCI, NVMe, SD, USB, you name it - AFAIR it's a whole different thing with SCSI and (hardware) RAID.
In which case you have to provide Windows the storage controller driver to load (and hopefully will detect the drives successfully.)
Speaking of - what mode is your storage controller set to?
>assuming you aren't baiting of course

>>106238457
So he's just a troll, and a dumb one at that?
To be fair, it does fit: freetards have little capability for independent thought or action.

>>106238544
i'm not saying he is, only that as someone who browses fglt, the posts and responses are very familiar, just flipped

>>106237753
W11 does the same and tends to randomly freeze on any directory. Idk why but the start menu or task manager on 11 rapes my performance whenever im trying to monitor application memory.

>>106238423
Of course you CAN do it. It just doesn't work: Windows can't see the (weird, non-compliant hybrid) UDF once it starts up, so all you have is the SDI/WIM RAM disk with Windows PE - no setup program, certainly no install.wim - so it simply doesn't work.

>>106238544
>>106238574
oh and of course, the reason this is suspicious to me is that there's few if any people familiar with linux and not also familiar with windows, unlike the other way around. in linux threads it's normal to have clueless windows users who complain about every difference. seeing the same here though is quite unlikely

>>106238671
(and expect it to work properly)
Happy?

>>106238694
lol
Most freetards switched to Linux because they couldn't disable updates or pride flags - the most well-documented procedures in existence - so they're not just ignorant, they're actively anti-learning.
And that's before joker who came in a few threads back bitching M$ somehow "sabotaged" the Windows ISOs so they wouldn't boot - turns out the tard had booting from external disabled in his BIOS.
This is a recurring theme with freetards - they don't seem to know or understand anything about Windows at all, keep stomping on rakes as a result, then Dunning-Kruger themselves into Linux thinking it'll make them smart and leet (it never does).

>>106238745
I was already happy anon, I was just using your post to segue into why precisely it doesn't work.
Sorry for not making it clear it wasn't a criticism of your post.

i'm beginning to think you're part of this troll, or maybe even the same person. either way you're no better than him

>>106238746
This. The /lgbt/ escapee above's central problem seems to be Windows doesn't work like Linux. As a result he's angry, confused and frustrated, mainly because he'll have to do some work, or at least learn something.
He doesn't see why he should have to do that. Everything should work exactly like his Reddit terminal HAL.

>>106238520
I still use Legacy Boot in the year of our dog 2025. Everything just works. No special UEFI bullshit needed and I can still chainload windows from LILO as dog intended. As I learned forever ago when I first started using Slackware.

Despite claims to the contrary, Visual Studio Subscriptions have long handed out hashes for MS software ISOs. There was a brief window in the late 2010s between MS shutting down the old MSDN system and starting up the new "MVS" (which VSS is just a rename of) where you couldn't get hashes as Joe Anonymous Public, but it's a long-solved problem.

I should clarify, it sorts in one second when it's working but often it starts to hang and the green progress bar appears at the top and I have to restart explorer. Then it works fast again.

It's not "official" but it works
files.rg-adguard.net

Yes, but that gives you licenses for literally every piece of software Microsoft has ever released, except maybe Flight Simulator 2024.
Hash lookup is a freebie though, and always has been (except for the aforementioned few-month window in 2017 or whatever it was).

How do I install ffmpeg for yt-dlp to use it to download highest quality videos every time?

>>106240843
>Put both yt-dlp.exe and ffmpeg.exe in the C:\Windows folder
Why not create a new folder and then add that folder to the PATH instead? By messing with the Windows directory, you are basically asking for trouble.

>>106241091
>Why not create a new folder and then add that folder to the PATH instead
this is the sensible to do

I dual-boot Linux and Windows 11 on separate physical drives, with a shared additional physical NTFS drive for storage.
Whenever I download a .zip file on linux and then copy it to the storage drive, when I try to access that .zip file in Windows, my mouse starts going into a loading animation, and then like 2 seconds later, it crashes the file explorer closing all open folder windows and sends me back to the desktop. If I log back into linux, that .zip is still accessible and doesn't crash anything.

I found a workaround to access these files by opening 7zip itself, and then just navigating to the .zip and unzipping/exploring the files, and it works fine. I can also delete the .zip or copy/paste it as if I was in file explorer. Is there any way to fix this so I don't have to do this workaround? I thought .zip files were the same whether or not the drive is formatted the way an OS wants. Sometimes, if I restart the PC, I'll be able to access the .zip just fine, but half the time it's inconsistent and I need to do the work around. I don't have a problem with any loose files like images, documents or exe files, it's only compressed files it seems, but it's not like I compressed them in linux, I only downloaded them in linux, so it shouldn't have reformatted them or anything. In fact some of these files were originally downloaded on Windows, then moved to linux, and then back to Windows. I can get by with the workaround but it's kind of annoying when you can't even click or right-click the .zip in file explorer and it just crashes.

>>106239570
>Any good free on-demand anti-malware and anti-virus scanners these days?
Have some common sense and you will be fine. If all you want is a free scanner, then use Hitman Pro or Norton Power Eraser. Microsoft malicious software removal tool is also not bad.

>>106241537
>I dual-boot Linux and Windows 11 on separate physical drives with a shared additional physical NTFS drive for storage.
Try putting the zip files in a exFAT partition and see if the same thing happens or not. NTFS support on Linux is crap.

>>106237015
>Examples include medical systems (such as those used for MRI and CAT scans), industrial process controllers, and air traffic control devices.
Depends on the industrial process of course but you'll notice all these are graphical workstations for some trained personnel to interact with critical equipment.
>These devices share characteristics of embedded systems
Yes they have some characteristics like embedded systems but they are not.

>>106237733
>even its installer kinda assumes you're starting from a working Windows install
The only supported upgrade path is from one major version to another (i.e. 10 -> 11). All other uses of the install media shouldn't be run from a live install and its not uncommon for the keep programs and filles option to not be available as well.

>>106241540

If we ignore its lack of CPU usage cap that makes it a performance hindrance on any old or current system for anyone who does anything more than shitpost on 4chan.

Should I just reinstall I still have the iso file from when I installed ages ago, or would that also force me to reinstall all my programs?

>>106245539
You can mount an ISO that includes your edition and do a "repair install" of the system which keeps all your programs and files.

So is it literally as easy as running MAS, selecting TSforge and selecting ESU to get the extra years on 10?

why is the only way to get IoT LTSC windows via unofficial means? Do people actually install this on their machine?

>>106247088
Because it's not meant for consumers so you can't officially get an ISO as one
You can know it's safe by comparing the SHA256 of the ISO you've downloaded with the one on Microsoft's official website. If both SHA256 hashes are identical it's literally impossible for the ISO to have malware because if you change even single bit of a file the hash will change completely

>>106247088
It's not like the "unofficial" means aren't trustworthy. The links that massgrave offer come directly from MS.

>>106247160
The the GAC links are directly from Microsoft's servers, but not the LTSC ones. Those are hosted by Massgrave
Again, it's not a problem because you can still compare the SHA256 to know it's the original ISO

So suppose there's a machine with a win10 home installation with a bunch of adobe perpetual license software on it. Can't do a reinstall, because none of the aforementioned adobe stuff can be activated anymore (no, switching to creative cloud subscription shitware isn't an option). Can a boomer windows noob safely do a 10->11 upgrade while retaining the installed & activated software, or is it a disaster waiting to happen? I'm not particularly enthusiastic about driving across the country just for this, but if there's serious risk, it's an option. I've got a complete C: disk image that I pulled to keep as backup last year, so disaster recovery is sort of possible, just not remotely.

ThioJoe my beloved

>>106251274
Tough one, what's the reason for updating? I'm not sure how the Adobe activations work but if it's also tied to the OS then you might not even be able to go to 11, specially since perpetual licenses don't mean shit these days

Honestly thinking of going back to windows
I was trying bazzite linux for a while and it was honestly great for games but I'm so used to some other windows only software like ableton live and its plugins I can't stand being unable to use my standard plugins for it.
This is starting to make me realize that maybe I don't actually like computers and tech. Because I'm just not one of those guys who gets off on customizing every single thing on my PC. I just want functioning programs.

>>106246015

you seem to have computers tired now but might be nice later

back to notebook and pen for while?

Holy crap, I just wanted to fix some compatibility issues on Windows 11 by clicking on Troubleshoot compatibility, but it fucking opened some kind of get help online tool that didn't even begin to fucking fix the issue. Apparently they're removing the old troubleshooter for this abomination.
Fortunately I was able to still open the legacy troubleshooter somehow, but is there some way to make it the default again when right clicking a program by using regedit or similar?

>>106247088
>>106247154
>>106247160
>>106247188
I just installed standard non-IoT LTSC and when I ran massgrave it automatically turned my Windows into IoT LTSC. I wasn't even expecting that to happen but it was nice.

>>106253459
This might be because you activated with HWID, as only IoT supports HWID

>>106253496
Yes I did activate with HWID since looks like it's the recommended activation method. So that was it then.

So I dual boot windows and linux. At one point I was having issues with the system just randomly locking up so I was doing a bunch of trouble shooting and ended up removing my windows drive which seemed to fix the issue, which seemed to just be because it came loose in the nvme slot cause i forgot to put the second screw in.
Anyways just recently I went to put the drive back in cause I needed to use some software on windows and the windows bootloader is no longer appearing as an option. I can no longer manually select it in the bios either. It is still appearing in my list of drives and I can browse through the files on my linux drive but it seems the bootloader is just no longer there
Any ideas how to fix?

I was tired of Windows doing update check every 22 hours so i check online to see if i can turn off the update for Windows 10 Pro.

I am doing it right by turning Update off on Windows 10 Pro by doing this?

Services set Windows Update to disabled.

Services set Windows Update Medic Service to disabled.

Services set Update Orchestrator Service to disabled.

Some them i had to go to Registry Editor to mod the file to make it set disabled to make it work.

What you think?

>>106253787
Chance is you (or some Linux install/update) removed the boot entry.
You should still be able to start by selecting the drive as a boot target. GRUB should be able to detect it if you run the updater but it may or may not require a separate package depending on your distro.

>>106236717 (OP)
help a paranoid retard out, /g/iggas. right now I have Win10 Pro and wanna change to LTSC or IoT LTSC. can anyone add more clarification between "LTSC" and "IoT LTSC"? what baffles me the most is how IoT is apparently for "simple" machinery an yet it works fine for an actual PC? what are the odds that I lose any data on my main SSD when installing either? last time I installed OS (current pc) was 5 years ago and all I memeber were the usb installation and HWID program to activate windows. before any installation I will of course hook up another SSD, back up everything, unplug and install the new OS. as such the risk is virtually zero to lose anything, but I wanted to ask anyway.

I got Pro so does that mean that I will stop receiving updates this october or next year? really tight with irl time to get shit done at the moment.

>>106253971
If you follow https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol it will be like a normal upgrade, with no loss of data. Of course, you'll still be keeping the trashy metro apps that came pre-installed with your Pro installation. Also the difference between ltsc and iot ltsc is the support length.

>>106253971
>can anyone add more clarification between "LTSC" and "IoT LTSC"? what baffles me the most is how IoT is apparently for "simple" machinery an yet it works fine for an actual PC?
IoT still comes with less preinstalled programs on a standard install and it doesn't do things like reserve system space. The updates they receive is identical.
Really LTSC is intended for workstations but IoT LTSC is a variation for equipment where storage space is limited. Interestingly, internally IoT LTSC isn't treated like an Enterprise SKU so any group policies that are limited to Enterprise or Education won't work on it.

The best thing to do is install LTSC and then switch licences to IoT LTSC if you're still using it when support is dropped.

>>106254166
IIRC it basically doesn't matter on 10 because all the policies that a home user will care about aren't locked to Enterprise/Education.

I'm sure there's some Microsoft doc page that says it but I'm not aware of which one. A difference with 2024 LTSC is that you can't disable the recommended section in start menu in IoT LTSC but you can on regular LTSC. And Edge is a one-click uninstall from settings on LTSC but for this on IoT LTSC you need to be in EUR.

>4. Windows 11 IoT Enterprise 2024 LTSC
>Functional Note: Despite its name and licensing method, this edition functions identically to Windows 11 Home and Pro in terms of interface and core usability. If acquired legally, it behaves like a standard desktop OS—with the main differences being listed below (e.g., update model, privacy defaults, and bloatware removal).

>>106253459
It's done that for a couple versions now. Very useful change.

>>106253971
You can use MAS to change your Pro edition into Enterprise in a couple presses and get the full three years.

I'm a complete fag who is interested in CS and want to see if it's the field for me. I've never coded C++ and I've decided it's time to change that. I looked up how to allow for C++ to be ran on VS studio and I was lead to this link

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw

All is going well until I reach the point where I am supposed to go to systems variables and change the variable "path" to "C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin".
Problem is that I already set that path to python. Is there a way to set the path variable to multiple values?

I'm a complete fag who's only coded in JS and Python and I want to move onto C++ to really see if I want to enter this field

I followed a tutorial and it lead me to a website that goes through how to set up vscode to run C++
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw
All was fine up until it told me to go to environment variables and select the path variable and change its value to C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin.
Thing is that I alread have that path set to a value and it would fuck up with my programs if I changed it. Is there a way to assign the Path variable to both values?

are these speeds too shit for a nvme? i feel it slow but that may be just me

>>106254357
unless you want to pull your teeth out just install visual studio

That's not very good speeds at all for an NVMe, that's basically the speed of a SATA SSD.

You can add new variables to path

>>106254660
Thank you anon, does it matter if it has a dram cache? or is it just a meme

>>106254855
DRAM cache is always good to have but you don't strictly need it, though you might as well get an NVMe that has it.

>>106251941
Gotta keep the old machine working somehow. Can't lose the perpetual licenses, replacement CC subscriptions would be ludicrously expensive.

If upgrading isn't safe to do, then I guess ESU is the way to go. It's just basically kicking the can down the road.

Is there no way to clean this garbage other than to re-install the OS? I already ran the restore health and such commands

>>106255067
Disk Cleanup is what you use to clean out the WinSxS folder

Yo lads, what are some odd things I can do with the Windows Powershell? I've seen that thing for many years, but I still got no idea what it's for.

>>106255163
I run that frequently, it never cleans more than a few megabytes

>>106254394
Then you have no need to bother with any of that unless you really want to use MingW for some reason.
Just install the C++ toolkit for VS and start writing (Visual Studio Installer > Modify > tick the boxes if its not installed yet).

>>106255180
Keep in mind that cleaning out the WinSxS folder is a default scheduled task so just one day in the week it'll be cleaned out fully.

>>106255223
It's been like that for months...

>>106255255
Do you have any updates pending?
It will also keep old updates for a month so you can roll back and any other feature packs and things that are pending install.

is 11 iot ltsc 24h2 good yet

so I don't know shit about fuck about computers and operating systems. can I downgrade from windows 11 home to windows 10 enterprise edition and keep all my files?

>>106256693
no. backup your data and start clean.

>>106256356
>is 11 iot ltsc 24h2 good yet
I use IoT LTSC 24H2 and I can tell you that it fucking sucks ass. It is full of bugs. Also, It has the recall cancer that the GAC version of Windows 11 has. Stick with windows 10 IoT LTSC if you can or switch to Linux.

>>106254855
modern ssd's are so fast with so much space for pseudo-slc cache that i believe it's no longer much of a must-have

>>106256947
Recall doesn't work on PCs that don't have NPU chips. And you can easily disable it with DISM otherwise.

>>106257319
>And you can easily disable it with DISM otherwise.
Yes. You can disable it, but it will remain in your system as a dependency of explorer.exe which is very annoying.

>>106256287
Seems to be a red herring, checked my CBS.log and also had these log entries regarding KB3025096 (funnily, that update is destined for the Technical Preview release of 10 - which was a decade ago or so.)
Any actual error entries in the logfile? Ctrl+F for ", Error".
System files located in %SystemRoot% and its subfolders are hardlinked from the latest files in the WinSxS component store, which itself is a part of Component-Based Servicing. You might wanna check whether the component store itself is corrupted and repair it:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
And then use sfc /scannow to restore uncorrupted files back.

I seriously hope you didn't run suspicious shit that might've corrupted or infected system libraries in some way.

>>106257574
>I seriously hope you didn't run suspicious shit that might've corrupted or infected system libraries in some way.
No - my windows just decided to do an update late last night. Woke up the next day and getting hit with these errors.

I'll check your suggestions but I think i'll end up doing a backup and clean OS reinstall anyways. Cheers.

>>106257752
>but I think i'll end up doing a backup and clean OS reinstall
Reinstalling Windows is really painful. Good luck anon.

>>106255255
you can clean the WinSxS folder
i did it before because it increases in size when you do the commands to "repair" windows sfc and dism
i believe this is what i followed when i did it

>Same method, use Ohook

I'd like to get office but I see they removed Office Home & Student so all those keys are worthless now.

>>106257840
Reinstalling windows is all about the dozens of minor tweaks you do over weeks

>>106257960
Like it says. The script collection you use to run the HWID activation can also run Ohook. Just run that irm command in an admin powershell and select Ohook when you get to the menu.

>>106257973
Wouldn't you still need to obtain a download for the office suite tho?

>>106258004
You can get pretty much any modern version of Office from massgrave's repo. Just download the .img file, mount and install with its setup.exe. Then use MAS Ohook to activate it.

You're aware LTSC releases don't receive feature updates right? They don't change over time. If they suck on release, they'll suck forever

Can you promise you won't break her heart like this?

>>106258125
What's the relationship equivalent of activating windows with massgrave?

>>106258136
Lying to her parents about your credentials

>>106258125

She's the only one who'll ever love me.

What if I had one computer with IoT LTSC 2024 and another with an Arch install on it? Would they be best fwends or would they just be fighting over master-sama even though I love both of them.

How much space should I have for an SSD partition to put Win10 LTSC on it?

>>106258641
Give it at least 100GB if it's only small.

Any known reasons for eye-strain in win10/win11?

I remember when I first upgraded to win10, my eyes hurt a lot, so I went back to 7 for few years. Then in few more years upgrading to win10 went fine.

Now I've moved win10 to another hardware which involved reinstalling a lot of drivers, restoring boot partition and enabling Microsoft Shop to get audio drivers etc. some of my previous apps disappeared so I assume change was significant.

And I get eye strain again.

>>106258833
Maybe try using f.lux?

>>106258856
I am using it for years now. I noticed that after upgrade and updating drivers, my blacks are well...darker. Like same 4chan theme wasn't as black before, even though I've set up all the brightness, gamma and contrast levels same as before.

I guess I will keep tweaking.

so what's the deal with windows updates?
every single time i let the pc do its thing, it messes up everything and then the windows version on it
i'm able to boot, but none of the applications work, only fix i see about it is doing a clean install
i assume it's just because they have so many shitskin pajeets working at microshart, they literally can't even handle basic crap like updating a system
i have disabled updates for now, turned off the "update orchestrator" and "windows update" services, but they turn back on without me enabling them (again, seems like this is some intentional spiteful shit by those pajeets because they want to force updates on you just like how they gangrape their bitches)
i legit cannot wait for when they stop supporting windows 10 so i am free from this really stupid issue

Resigned myself to use windows because the current state of nvidia on linux isn't just that good
Also 11 because I want to have autoHDR working
Should I bother with W11 LTSC or just use the normal ass version

>>106259026
You can either use IoT LTSC 2024 (it's frozen on 24H2) or use 11 Enterprise so you can get 25H2 when it releases (it's apparently quite a good feature pack from beta tests.)

>>106259057
Hmm.
I'm just hoping 25H2 isn't introducing more and more AI bullshit I do not want.

>>106259062
If your PC doesn't have an NPU then don't even worry about it. Also you can disable shit like Recall with DISM anyway if you're worried about it.

>>106258069

W11Pro is unironically better than LTSC since at this point pro can be largely debloated.

>>106259246
Yeah, I'm still on LTSC 2021 because I suspected that the first W11 LTSC might not be great
I hope that by the time new software doesn't run on W10, the latest W11 LTSC will be decent

Firefox half crashed (the window changed to the old vista type) for like five seconds once and after 5 minutes it happened again but this time my PC froze
I held the power button to restart it, it did the "repairing and diagnosing ur PC" thing and after that the update installed inself and my PC booted
That's when the freezes started
Probably unrelated, but I couldn't launch the Nvidia app earlier today

Don't even joke lad

You could have avoided this by installing LTSC

>>106262184
Your install is broken pretty bad, unlike the rest of us. Task Manager and Event Viewer should reveal the issue(s) or at least point you in the right direction.

>>106262211
>>106262436
You could stop being a jackass, /b/ro.

>>106262511
Thanks anon, I tried checking the event viewer but I didn't see anything too weird
After a restart my PC booted into the recovery menu, so I tried uninstalling the latest update from there
After that my PC booted into "updating your PC" again
Maybe the previous update didn't install properly? I'm 15 minutes into this session and everything's working fine... crossing my fingers nvm it just crashed after typing this.
After like 4 years and an in place W11 update it might be time for a reinstall......... might look into the LTSC memes

>>106259057

Half the beta tests laud it for better performance and yet the official changelog doesn't mention anything and they were all crammed in 24H2. Also now even on LTSC you will be getting the features just not the enablement pack so they will just be sitting there deactivated.

>>106260313

Secure Boot's whole deal is basically just not letting EFI files execute on boot if their key (bought from MS) isn't in the MOK database. Like for people using Linux it's a pain in the ass I guess but otherwise you barely notice that it's on if you use Windows.

>>106264611
Then you either have conflicting settings (e.g. both are configured to use the same static IP) or a broken port.

>>106263566
Macrium reflect free and Rescuezilla are good options too

various different windows services piggyback on svchost with different launch parameters

I use it all the time. Contrary to what it states, it doesn't remove Windows Security app, but it becomes pretty much empty anyway, plus updates bring it back constantly. And it tends to leave some protected Defender folders in Program Files, so give it several passes.

>>106266251
You need to integrate updates beforehand. Also you can get rid of this thing by removing Windows Feature Experience Pack (it doesn't do shit anyway).

This sims shit is getting serious. I’d like a way to organize my folders without using a million subfolders as I have been doing. I’d like to use Windows “group by” feature or something similar to it. I don’t think using Windows default tagging feature is an option since these are .package files. I also don’t want to rename the files. I don’t need anything super in-depth, just something simple and lightweight that:
>allows making custom groups and/or
>a tagging system that is not the windows tagging system and still allows grouping in file explorer
or maybe you have a better idea.

Yes, 10 works a very large amount of old computers. Hell it's the final version of 10 that has a 32-bit edition.

>>106269309
Yes, but swap that HDD for an SSD

>>106269372
This. Always swap a HHD with a SATA SSD if you can on an old PC.

>>106269372
>>106269382
Is the difference that big? Over ten years without using a HDD so i don't remember its speed.

>>106269407
Oh yeah the difference is incredibly vast. You won't want to go back to HDD booting ever again.

Does anyone have any clue what's going on here? I'm trying to backup one SSD to a newer SSD in a new PC I'm building. It's just a secondary disc where I install games, doesn't have system files. But it's "Invalid" while it works perfectly fine on my other PC.

Why is windows being so fucking gay about a disc? Asking bing is giving me conflicting replies and some say "convert to basic disk" may incure data loss. I don't want to copy 600gb accross LAN. Fuck this gay earth.

Reinstalled Windows after like 3 years of sitting on old install.
I am a schizo who thinks (in like 1%, but still) someone might have access to my PC remotely and is fucking with me in minor ways.
Anything I can do to calm my nerves and secure my new install?

>backup your data
I don't know how

>>106269848
Copy them to another disc, reinstall windows and copy them back. Just get a USB one if you're not tech savy. There are ways you can get some of your programs backed up and saved up, but again the limitation here is you, as you don't seem to know much. So just copy all your important files and start fresh reinstalling everything.

>Dynamic
Quite a conundrum. Have you used the drive with an another one to create a spanning volume, or say a "software RAID" of some sort?
Most of the time people used TestDisk to try recover the drive's partition layout, or at least try to access the drive's files to back it up.
Best results is that if you made sure the volume was single, plain ol' regular, but just of dynamic type (i.e. doesn't use the dynamic volume-only features like spanning etc.), you could change its volume ID with something like BootICE from 42 (dynamic) to 07 (basic). Proceed with caution.

>>106270283
Nope, never tried doing a RAID even.
I still have no clue what happened, but it managed to unfuck itself. Sort of.

I'll explain if you find this funny. So I have those two hard drives that I want to clone, I noticed that when I restarted the computer it actually randomizes which one becomes disabled, as in one becomes enabled but not the other one, but it doesn't decide which, it's up for grabs on boot. So there's some weird conflict between the two. I thought I might be the drive letter as they're both E:\ on their respective computers, this was never a problem before but whatever I just changed it. Didn't help. So I just reboot until the drive I want to clone became enabled, so then I converted the empty one to basic disk and formated it safely to NTFS, and I was safe to start copying it. Still have no clue what happened but it's solved. Unfortunately I'm not too confident that something isn't majorly fucked in my system if this manages to happen for no good reason, I'm tempted to format everything and start fresh, but it's such a pain in the ass, considering I had to deal with so many weird issues in this build, everything just piles up.

>employer forced me to upgrade to W11 or have work laptop isolated

Goodbye W10. I'm disgusted to even touch my laptop now.

What's the current W10 debloater of choice? It always changes every time I reinstall it.

>>106271294
Currently I'm using ShutUp10 and AppBuster.

>>106271312
I guess shutup10 still remained then. Didn't know appbuster, this shit is a godsend, no longer have to remove this crap manually. Thank you.

>>106271369
ShutUp10's just been constantly updated to work with 11 and such as well and still just werks.

I need to add an Intel VMD driver to a Windows install or it won't even run after the installation on a machine I'm trying to fix. UEFI lacks any option to disable the requirement, so it must be installed in Windows beforehand. Dism refuses to add the driver to either the ISO or the wim file after Rufus has setup a USB drive to be my installer. The Windows installer can add the driver just fine during installation, but I still end up unable to boot, the system can't find my SSD without the stupid driver. There's no security feature stopping the driver from booting as far as I can find. Secure Boot is disabled, too.
I don't know what more to do.

>>106271390
Additionally, if I stick the M.2 SSD into a USB enclosure, I can access it from my laptop just fine, so that is working for sure. The system used to work with that SSD in question, but my buddy wiped it out from trying to fix something.

A client wants to upgrade his boot drive from 2TB to 4TB. The kicker? He's on Windows 7, on a Dell XPS Studio, and from what I can tell, it can't support UEFI. And I'm getting mixed signals, but it's looking like Windows 7 doesn't natively support booting to GPT either. What are my options?
