So, I purchased several Windows 11 Pro licenses. In order to save time installing Windows on several PCs, which were purchased bare bones, I cloned the first completely installed and activated system to the other SSDs. All of those computers now show as activated, in Settings → System →...

Okay. I am getting a step closer. Or am I? Using gpedit.msc I changed the Lanman Workstation policy “Enable insecure guest logons,” and rebooted the client computer. Still no success. I then stumbled upon Accessing a third-party NAS with SMB in Windows 11 24H2 may fail, and found that I had...

One more thing, when I trie connecting by putting “\\JACKCOMP” in the path field of a File Explorer window I get this: In red, it says: The server is allowing guest access to the share. How do I get Windows 11 Pro to permit a connection to that share?

I see the host sharing some of its file system: JackComp is a Windows 10 Pro host (fully updated) with has some of its file system shared on the local network. Windows 10 Pro hosts CailynComp, KoryComp and MichaelComp map a drive letter to that share without problems. This client produces...

It will have one Display Port and one HDMI port and be able to run dual monitors. It can go up to 16 GB of RAM and will get outfitted with that much. SSD will be a 512 GB NVMe.

I am wondering, whether a mini PC (NUC) with an Intel N100 clocked at 3.6 GHz is suitable for an office workstation. It will run Office apps and a browser on a dual 24-in displays.

I figured it out: The key was to install Acrobat Reader and make sure that Adobe Acrobat was the default app for PDF files. Evidently, Windows does not have adequate code for rendering PDFs on its own. macOS has had it since 2001.

I just read in How to Embed a PDF in Word: A Step-by-Step Guide that, “Not all versions of Word support PDF embedding.” How do I know, what version I have too get that does?

I did not look at the versions. The macOS version is the latest, as it gets updated by the macOS App Store app practically every other week. The Windows version is 16.0.18324.20194. Thanks very much for demonstrating your workaround. However, I am not looking for a workaround but for a way to...

I am more of a Mac guy. On my Mac, if I make a new Word document, I can go to Insert → Object… → From File…. I will get this: Whereas in Windows I go to Insert in the ribbon (never liked those), the Text group of icons and choose Object, pulling down the menu and choosing “Object….” This...

With European family names, especially German ones, the name can tell a story. “Stedt” is a northern German suffix on several names of localities. I would assume that it is a vowel-shifted version of Stadt, which is German for “town” or “city.” I am from Rahlstedt, a suburb within the boundaries...

I think, you are right. Is your last name “Sehestedt,” or are you from Sehestedt? I had to look it up. It’s a village near Rendsburg, about 120 km north of Hamburg, where I grew up.

I am not going to risk it. I am now having Rufus “burn” the official 24H2 download to a USB drive. When the install is complete, I will stop and remove Windows Recall.

If it does, why would I want to override them and risk the security of the system I am installing on? It is not even my own, but a client’s.

Would UUP dump be able to supply a secure bootloader that complies with Secure Boot or never be able to obtain one with the necessary Microsoft signatures?
