Images are what I have done in the past....and still do from time to time. However, I have found with Windows 7, 10 and 11 that honestly I run into very few problems that ever cause me to restore my images. I remember the old days with Windows XP and such where I would format and reinstall...

Yeah, lots of buddies have used AI to generate some scripting stuff and the results have been really solid. Just like anything, you need to review it and make sure you understand what it's going to do before running it, but that goes for any script....even if it's 100% self written, written by...

No, I'm talking enterprise alternatives to products like VMWare VCenter and VMWare NSX Load Balancer which I work on and support professionally.

Yeah, i'm a corporate customer and I support our VMWare environment, both hypervisors at the NSX load balancer, and the whole switchover to Broadcom has been a complete and utter debacle. My account is all screwed up and I cannot log into the support portal or raise any sev1-4 tickets with...

My gaming rig runs 10 pro. I don't have issues with 11, but I have had 0 problems with 10 so I have just stuck with it.

Nah, sometimes you have to make choices to force a change to keep egg of your face. Microsoft removed the standard practice of making everybody an admin without things like UAC because their security track record in 95/98/ME/XP wasn't exactly outstanding. Based on everything i have read about...

Well, considering that 24H2 isn't released to the masses until later this year, it's kinda hard to tell right now. LOL

usually indicates that bitlocker while present, is not enabled on the drive.

To be fair, most of these changes for security measures that are necessary for corporations are often times advantageous for a home user to use as well. But all too often, these measures are met with a response that it's going to be bad, shouldn't be done and people should be left to make...
