There is no reason why they would need to do that. They just need to download the Windows 11 ISO. Their Windows 10 Pro Key should install and activate Windows 11 Pro on there computer. The only thing I see that they need to do when installing is to decide if they want to install it with or...

Have you tried logging out of your MS Account then logging back in or even restarting your new laptop? I'm not saying it will work but If you haven't, it's worth a try. Edit: Forgot to mention that having a device listed in your MS account only matters if you go over the limit of devices...

So may suggestion in post #17 worked? I know it never failed me and is the only way I now setup my printers.

Just to see if I'm following this correctly. When you connect your devices directly to the router they work. When you connect the devices to the switch and the switch to the router, two devices work and one doesn't. If I'm correct, is it always the same device that doesn't work or is it what...

Don't kill yourself! Try a inplace repair install instead. I'd give you a link but I'm on my cell phone. You can do a search on Eleven Forums to find it.

On my HP laptop I had to turn it off in the BIOS.

Doesn't that come under the category of "Shooting Oneself In The Foot"?

After doing a restart I decided to check for updates in the MS Store. There was 16 updates needing to be installed. SAB 3.7.8 still works plus there is a SAB 3.7.9 update. It disables the Classic Taskbar by default. I did have to manually download and rename the file to get it to install.

I'm not seeing Start Menu Companions on my new desktop. I'm not sure if it's A/B testing or because I use Power Start so I don't have to see Recommended on my Start Menu.

MS is trying to make all new installs use the internet and a MS account. Using a work around is the only to setup a new install with a local account.

Your post to me have done nothing but run my suggestion down. I'm done with the subject and moving on.

It's been awhile so this may not be the actual post I followed but I used a suggestion that @NavyLCDR made to someone and moved my Recover Partition to my C: drive. I now have it as a boot option when I start either one of my desktops. Disk Management- Partition Advice

They asked and I looked up what I feel is a good external SSD from my personal experience. It just so happened that it's on sale. I don't know why your taking my suggestion so personal nor do I care. Like I said, it's up to the OP to decide what they want to do.

TThere i There nothing wrong with my suggestion except you putting it down. It's up to the OP to decide if they want to go with one of the suggestion we posted or go with something else.

I can only speak for myself. I don't have any devices that can use 40 Gbps to its fullness. Even newest desktop can't take full advantage of using 40Gbps. I'm not worried about having drives that are faster then what my systems can handle because I don't see me buying a new computers for a long...
