Don't see any disk activity. The error log shows one 'kernal-power' critical error from this morning that could be when I found laptop in the described state (happened twice). No error on screen when...

Laptop now shuts off screen but the power button does not give a cold boot. It immediately gives the browser tabs that were open. Started doing this today. W10 ver 22H2. Mum's laptop, an older hp but...

Thank you.

When I try to paste into Wordpad I can do so once, then after that I always have to dump into a text file and re-copy. Can't discover why it would work once and then not.

Also, why does Polyedit...

Thanks all. Stopped by a WM after work & got another. Finally gonna tie this down.

Cheers.

I believe there's a verify checkbox for both clone or image. I'm trying to image a C: drive and a DATA drive and finding you should note usb formatting and boot type. Also I continue to read best...

First usb drive was too small. Big ones I use for work. How large do I need for a dedicated stick to act as rescue media?
Using Macrium Reflect ver 7.

Thank you.

And fanboys say AMD is useless, tsk tsk.

Apologies for my tardiness. Install was created via Media Creation Tool.

I switched from usb 3.0 to a usb 2.0 port and the install worked. My partition style is Legacy bios compatible, not GPT,...

Wobitancrawfodi for what it's worth I feel your pain. I live in Florida and hate the heat. I'm from New York state and used to having your pc(s) heat a room in winter.

Finally couldn't take it any...

Thank you NavyLCDR.

I believe that tells me this authentication did use my OEM key, that any other MS licenses associated with my MS account are uneffected and that going forward the digital...

For future reference: In this Asus bios, under Boot "tab" the default is secure boot state = enabled. Also platform key (PK) state = unloaded. You can go into key management under either OS type. But...

Thanks Bree. Could I also ask: Is there any difference between a 'key' license vs. a 'digital' license? That I would notice? Effecting installation of MS software perhaps? Or concerning possible...

Used an OEM key for a new build but got the 0x87E10BCF error. My mobo is used. I tried a few solutions found online.

Logged into my MS account to try the key again but the cursor 'hung' with the...

Thanks. I'll try admin password. Not sure how I created the usb. I'll have to create again, verify and try.

Appreciate all your help.

No it won't highlight the secure boot option. Shows 'secure boot state' enabled, 'platform key (PK) state' unloaded. The next option, 'OS mode' is set to Other OS but if set to Windows UEFI mode it...

Trying to install W10 Pro 64b on home built system and I get error 0x800703EE. The problem could be that this Asus plus gaming B450M has secure boot enabled and I cannot find how to disable so far....

Oops, must have read that wrong. Well can anyone tell me what the downside is to doing the 'Reinstall' where it overwrites my W10 files? There are no W7 or 8 files on this HDD, just a previous W10...

I'm installing (Pro 64b) but have my W10 HDD from old system in the new build. Thinking it would overwrite (I have a backup). I think a "fresh install" is best, but it is asking if I want to...

For future reference: As I said, worked great for W7 Pro 64b (orig off a retail disc) but for my OEM W10 Pro 64b it does not work. Finally found the spacebar acts like the non-functioning enter key....

Thanks Andre Ten. Just have to sure about these tricky MS updates. Think I'll be alright w/a fresh install on my new build w/ if I remember should be 1909 ver. But a few recent kb's seem to be...

After researching, I'm still not sure if under Security & Maintenance "automatic maintenance" setting updates just applications or if it also will install OS updates.


Thank you.


P.S....

AFAIK Macrium Reflect free doesn't allow for clone entire disc, only the partitions you check box for. I believe that's why the 2nd HDD didn't get boot files from original. The Bios is from a ten yr...

Yeah I've picked up that most think imaging beats cloning. Going to try Adaptive Restore on the 'clone' disk after I run fixboot, etc. commands and test that it boots. If it works I'll finally finish...

Do you have another card to give a try? Since we can rule out the monitor due to switching, I'd say that is what to check next. Also, do card and monitors have another another interface? For ex. if...
