Daymin,

Thanks for the reply.
I suppose the manufacturer's web site is the source. I will go shopping, return home to research driver support, and make a decision. I won't be able to research at the store...
Thanks for the quick replies.
Brink,
Please clarify. Do you mean the manufacturer only? If so, the manufacturer has built Windows 10 machines which, to my understanding, means this is not a...
Version number and computer specs are not necessary for this question.
My daily use Windows 10 machine which is experiencing hardware issues. The price of repair is not economically feasible. I do...
Thanks Dalchina,
I'll look into that. Meanwhile I'll await answers to the other two questions.

2) Please explain how to decide which location to choose on a VPN.

Maybe my understanding of WSL and how it works is flawed. I was thinking that WSL is similar to running a web site locally. (because of establishing a remote connection to the same computer) I was...

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to retest the desktop installation.
I have a perfectly functional terminal version, but am lacking the desktop. After...
MY apologies, I did not mean to convey the wrong message. I am not wary of NTFS. The developer friend I mentioned dislikes Windows in general an NTFS in particular. In the e-commerce site he has...
I am experiencing problems at step 4.4. I am on the third attempt:
first -- windows 10 pro x64 2004 version 10.0.19041 build 19041
second -- Instructions said to use latest Windows version;...

Thanks. The link is of particular interest. I never imagined that NTFS has a potential security issue. That clarifies, at least in part, why a friend has a very dim view of Windows. Security...
I find it interesting that Fat32 and exFat are common recommendations (not just here in this thread). Is that because NTFS is primarily Windows oriented versus the more or less cross platform...
sure!
Because I regularly have files over 4GB in size, I choose to use NTFS. I can change that as required.

I don't know if you are asking me or Matthew Wai.
As for me, this is the formatting that shipped with the flash drive. I would like to know why drives ship that way. Is it for MBR, factory...
@Matthew Wai
Thanks for the detailed instructions. It worked perfectly.
During the process I noticed something which brought up a question:

I have a flash drive which formerly was a bootable Rufus flash drive. In attempt to remove Rufus I created an unusable flash drive as shown in the snips from disk management shown below:

I had to boot a different computer to examine the file I wish to use. ... It does contain the folders and files in the snip in your post #15.

I was thinking of a bootable Rufus flash drive with the iso burned to it. Am I missing something something?

Thanks for the reply.
I am a big fan of redundancy when creating available recovery and/or repair options. Having an onboard and a removable device, each with an iso, is my preference.

Thanks additional info. I will keep your (and other) recommendations in mind later when I have tested the backup scenario offered as a solution in other posts within this thread.

I may not have used the correct terminology. Please give me the correct terminology for the following description. I am referring to a bootable USB flash drive containing an iso to perform a repair...
My experience has proven to my satisfaction that startups, services, and processes can be selectively trimmed to improve boot times without sacrificing utility. In many cases I have found that...
Thanks for the replies.
I only mess with registry when there is a very good reason to do so. Tweaking services is one part of my task list for improving boot times. It has measurable results. ...

I'll keep that in mind. For now I will try the free option of backups to see if I like doing it that way. The only downside I currently see is the down time for creating new backups.
