Not sure where to start. I bought this HP Laptop July 12, 2024 and haven't had a chance to work with it.
Finally a week ago I tried to turn it on and WHOOPS, my Network connection on Comcast by WiFi was available and I was notified thru my Phone and if I wanted to approve it, so I did.
(I haven't participated much in the Tech World in some years, lots of things have changed on a personal level).
I have my Details listed for both Systems and hope I got it right (mostly Integrated stuff with exception of external things I've added over years to the Toshiba Win 8.1 x64 Laptop). Lots of the externals will be moved to the Win 11 Pro in time.
I finally gave in and Upgraded my Comcast connection and decided to use their Modem. I had my own TP-Link Modem and TP-Link Router for years.
My current system I'm on has been messed up for over a year, needed a reformat, never had time tho. Hooked up Wired currently and no WiFi on this Toshiba Win 8.1 x64 Laptop. But on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+, Roku Express 4K+ and Samsung Galaxy Note10+ I'm connected by the WiFi I setup with new Comcast equipment.
I haven't turned back on new HP Win 11 Pro in 6 days. But I do know that I ended up connecting Wireless and it did do some Microsoft updates. I seen the desktop and looked at some settings but that's about it. This B.S. with Microsoft account is invading my Privacy (as I'm sure many others Worldwide have stated).
I have been reading and doing research on this "S" Mode stuff but not comfortable with it and where my HP stands (haven't turned it on yet as I'm posting this). I know I couldn't bypass some stuff in beginning, I couldn't even do a Hard Restart. I seen that "Work or Domain" option, but that has to be what I went with and will post here shortly after I "Fire-up" the HP Win 11 Pro.
Thanks for letting me SPILL and I'm taking a short Food break b4 I "Fire UP" the HP Win 11 Pro.
