A further thought: If I have an activation associated with my Microsoft account, is that key OEM specific? Or can it be applied to any manufacturer's system?

Ah, the maximization of profit! While what I'd like to do might work, it's unlikely to succeed. And if I tried and failed I'd have to pay even more for a working solution. Best is to pay the premium...
So it's still not clear that I can or cannot do what I propose. I buy a new system with Windows Home. And I have an old system with Windows Pro. Thus I have two licenses. Is it possible to swap...
I'm looking to replace my 8 year old PC with something compatible with Windows 11. The current PC was originally licensed with Windows 8.1 Pro and updated to Windows 10 Pro. Is it possible extract...
I used the command powercfg.exe /hibernate on.
@dalchina - Excellent. Thanks for the tip. Hibernate now set.
On a Dell Inspirion 15 3567 hibernate is not available as an option for the power button. This remains true even after following the tutorial and updating the registry...
The best I could do was to send the laptop in to Dell for testing under warranty. It was returned with replaced hard drive & memory. Fingers are now crossed. I want it to be fixed but my confidence...
I already have a request into the Dell 3rd level person asking what the Dell position is on those errors. I'll ping them again in a couple of days if I don't get a response. There's not much more I...
To what replaceable part does "PCI Express Root Port" pertain?
Not only that but searches for "Sunrise Point-LP PCI Express" at the Intel site return effectively nothing useful. The errors suggest a defective motherboard, which is probably a tough sell.
If I understand this correctly, I run the utility and submit the scan via the utility. Except that the url https://servicerequestmgmnt.intel.com/webticketui returns "Server not found"!
Just got off the phone with someone from Dell's Advanced Resolution Group. They will not consider replacing the system; their only approach is to run tests to identify failed hardware. We've already...
Another shower "Eureka" moment...I realized I have a series of system backups for the laptop. I just uploaded 6 minidumps to a OneDrive folder here. The dumps date back to August 2019. There was one...
Does this mean you prefer a .zip to a .7z?
If so it won't happen until tomorrow - running memtest, part 2, to be followed by a repeat of the Dell suite for which I never got results.

Will do. Thanks.

Dell test suite completed but I do not see any results. The browser tab that ran the suite continues to show the scrolling status bar for running tests.

The laptop is 12 hours + into its test and is still at Analyzing Hard Drive: SMART extended Self Test. The stats bar is at most 20%. Is this to be expected? If so the entire test suite will take...
First, many thanks for your efforts. We just may be able to warm their ice-cold hearts.
I've just gotten off the phone with a purported supervisor at Dell tech support. I am to expect a call on...
None that I'm aware of.

Well, I'll try. Let you know if I'm successful, but don't put any money on it.

I've been on the phone with them three times. The first time on an issue with their support software resulted in a BSOD and it's been downhill ever since. The most recent call a couple of months ago,...
Attached is requested log for the most recent BSOD (of 7) on my 10 month old Dell laptop. This occurred while on a remote connection to my desktop (all on a private network).
