I do not have a recovery partition, and haven't had for as long as I can remember. If you delete the recovery partition(s), I have found that Windows generates a Recovery folder on the system disk.

I did this a few years ago to transfer my HD installation to my new (at the time) SSD. Worked fine.
The boot process/BCD might get confused and not work. If that happens, boot with a Macrium...
I, too, am not in the Insiders Program and received this update vs. WU. What gives? And why does 21H2 and earlier get .2194 but not 22H2, I wonder.
Yep, I posted the location for Win11. Serves me right for bouncing around between the 10 and 11 forums so much! Thanks for the correction...
On the same MS page where you pick MCT, you can also opt to simply download the iso. I did that, and got 22621.
Yes, it is a bit older - second gen. It was released in Q3 2011, and discontinued in Q1 2013. A capable CPU, though. Just type i5 2320 into your favorite search engine and you can find all the...
The '5' in i5 is no indication of the age of your CPU. It is just an indication of the features of that processor within its generation. I have an i5 7400, ca. 2018 or thereabouts. Seventh gen, 4...
If I thought very long and very hard, I might be able to come up with something I care less about than Windows 12. However, nothing occurs to me at the moment.
Everyone IS able to upgrade to Win11, even people with noncompliant hardware. It's really not that hard.

It will be for people who don't have a good backup of Win10. I...
Yes, I know that. I've done it on my 7th Gen. I was simply pointing out the cutoff since it seemed like the poster I was replying to thought it was 9th Gen. And, of course, MS can pull the plug any...
The cutoff is at Gen 8 - Gen 8 and above qualifies, Gen 7 does not.
In the run up to the release of Win11, this question was asked many, many times. It has nothing to do with CPU raw performance, really. It has to do with newer CPU's having features that enable MS to...
Run Excel and open the file from Excel's File menu. Then it will not matter what is set as default for excel filetypes. When you look at a spreadsheet file in Notepad, yes, it will look like...
The problem with 'should have been better tested' is that there is an enormous universe of computer gear out there that is expected to run Windows, and it's simply impossible to test it all, or even...
There will be two 21H2's - one for W10 and one for W11. You can already get the enablement package for W10. The word 'major' is tricky - I believe there will still be 2 'feature updates' per year for...
The thing about all of this wondering and speculating about what's going to happen with updates, etc., is that it could all be settled by one clear communication from MS as to what their plan is. Why...
No, MS said they would not guarantee updates in future to noncompliant systems, not that they wouldn't get any. They could stop updating noncompliant systems any time. For all we know, this could...
I still think Windows 2000 was the best Windows - It was my daily driver for nearly 10 years, and could handle anything I threw at it without a hiccup.
In 40 years of using MS software (go MSBASIC!), I have never once, not ever, gotten a lick of help from them for any issue. We have pretty much been on our own all along (unless, I suppose, if you...
Always remember - never say always or never ;-)
I'm not ignoring your little situation. But I can't help you. If someone comes along and reads of your situation, and knows a solution, they will reply. Patience.

This is largely how I view it. I think my favorite was Windows 2000 - I ran it for 8 years, and it was just as solid as a rock.
Just look in the settings of your browser for where it's set to download things.
If you mean you solved your problem, you might want to mark your OP 'solved', and/or tell how you solved it. If it seems a problem that others might have, you might want to post a heads-up on the...
