Ditto. After reading your remarks, I'd say I was lucky. My fresh install of Microsoft Windows 11 (as opposed to whatever mess Beelink installs) did a good job of figuring out and installing drivers. Like you, I do actually like this MiniPC and will keep links to the AMD Adrenelin utility...

I just had a chance to re-read your instructions post. I'm halfway to full understanding. My favorite Windows was XP Pro 64-bit, and I manage to keep my hardware functional for a long time. As a result, I'm way behind the curve (and blissfully ignorant...until something breaks). I need to...

Sorry to be dense. but I'm unclear. Updating only the Windows 10 System partition that is on the 4TB HDD will require formatting only that ONE partition on the 4TB drive (the Windows 10 system partion) and then "migrating" the source system data to it. Is that accurate?. If updating any...

Thank you very much, @SIW2. Having read your instructions (not yet studied them seriously) one question occurs to me: On a fairly regular basis, I intend to update the clone OS versions that were migrated to the 4TB HDD. For instance, after a month I might want to update the Windows 10...

Yes you did! HA! =D @SIW2's post above is absolutely daunting to me, but probably will make sense once I really take it on. That seems to apply to most consumer-level end-user techology projects I attempt. Notice I said attempt... I'll likely burder him (or her) with questions after my...

Yer KILLIN' ME! =D I won't tell you how carefully I researched and planned how to make my DIY switches. Which wire cut, etc.

Ooooo! Thank you @zbook. I have to leave now, but will study that article carefully. I wish I had found it weeks ago. Thanks again.

Greetings, @SIW2 ! I don't know what that means. Oh, no! Here we go again... =O =D I'll try to educate myself. Will probably return with obtuse questions. You know the drill... Hahahaha

I hated being FORCED to go from Win7 to Win10. So for about two years my main PC had the same thing! One drive running Win7 Pro and the other running Win10 Pro. And speaking of cheating, I used two regular household light switches to determine which drive would be operational. I simply cut...

Thanks, and point taken. I'll weigh both options as there doesn't seem to be any specific reason to go one way or the other. My past difficulties involved a paid version of Paragon Hard Disk Manager. I stopped using it in light of the failed restores, and my impression is that they fell from...

Many thanks for the insights, and for packaging them so "concisely." =D And thanks for the suggestion re. Hasleo Backup Suite. I'll look into it. Love the reference to "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"! HA! Badjezz?! We don' need no steenkeen badjezz! Looks and sounds a lot like our southern...

With 11,000+ posts, U DA MAN. =D I absolutely appreciate your very simple, direct answer. And the helpful screencapture. But why do you advise against cloning? I ask because twice in the past (several years ago) I had backup files that refused to restore. I ended up SOL and had rebuild the...

Thank you, @Winuser. You went above and beyond to assist me, and so did others here. In the end, the AMD chipset and display drivers utility solved the missing drivers problem. Why-oh-why-oh-why does Beelink not simply direct its customers to the AMD website downloads and instructions...

Thanks, @Sdowney717. Please see my post #101 above, in response to @SIW2. Those sentiments apply to you, as well.

Man, you are GREAT! =D !!! @SIW2 I hate to spin your wheels, but I did not use that latest uploaded driver of yours. I sincerely thank you for the effort, and the same sincere appreciation to @Winuser and @Sdowney717 and others who've helped me with this...er..."obstacle." I put off...
