Unfortunately, it just DIED -- I'm not kidding; Stone dead -- will not power on.
Oh well, got three years out of a free laptop -- so can't really complain.

OK, did all that and checked the drive to ensure the ESP was populated with the correct files.
Seems to boot OK now.
Thanks for all the help.
Yes, I did change the BIOS settings to UEFI.
Thanks for all the details -- but I just stumbled upon this thread here -- Conversion of Legacy to UEFI Win 10 -- and am reading through the comments. In it, you suggested using Disk Genius, so I...
Confirmed the esp was there but when I restarted the PC, it did not give me a troubleshoot option, only shutdown.
I'm going to restore the drive from backup and use Minitool Partition Wizard to do...
I have an old Dell Latitude laptop that a relative gave me, rather than thowing it out, and it was running Windows 7. So, I upgraded it to Windows 10 -- a couple of years ago -- and it's been...
Upgraded an old Win7 desktop two weeks ago. Looks like I just made it under the wire!
I agree wholeheartedly with your approach -- as I have disabled OneDrive, since I don't use "cloud" stuff at all.
I can see using it to store small stuff that you want to have access to real-time...
I have a couple of "unsupported" PCs upgraded from Win10 to Win11 -- and they are still getting updates regularly.
I am surprised because I thought MS would have cut them off long ago ...
I won't get into a Linux-vs-Windows debate (as they are pretty much a waste of time), but I have been using Linux distros daily for well over 10 years and while SOME of it still needs command-line...
UPDATE: After experimenting, discovered this was a problem with the Edgeium browser, not UUPDUMP.
When I copied the URL and ran the same in FireFox, it prompted me to allow the download -- which...
You can always download the .msu file from the start of this thread and run that, if the standard update does not go well.
I ran into the same transfer slowdown copying 30GB image files from my internal NVMe SSD to the external SSD. But then, I read (maybe here) about FastCopy and that does not suffer the same slowdown...
In don't know.
I picked up a 1TB SanDisk External SSD from CostCo when they were on sale. Cost around $100 a the time.
I know this is off-topic -- but I wanted to share it, anway.
I learned (the HARD way) not to trust the integrity of external HDDs connected via USB ports.
I support a bunch of PC and do weekly...
This one was bad for me, too. Of the five PCs, including one laptop, that I tried to install this one, four of them failed -- no error messages, just went through the motions but when I reboot when...
The UUPDUMP page for this version does not appear to allow downloading the Windows Update components anymore. You can get a list and start the download for each item. but when you select the item,...
I don't know how long this version of Ryzen Master has been out, but I installed it two months ago.
It took them this long to find this problem and report it?
OK, I will try that but when I did the slui command with that key, it says it is invalid.
UPDATE: I did that, and it worked!!
Thanks for the advice.
I've run into a serious reactivation problem. I replaced the motherboard in the PC because the old one failed. When I run win10, of course, it complains about not being activated. I activated it...
I presumed that the Media Creation Tool was already out for W10 v22h2, but when I downloaded it today from MS and ran it, the ISO file it created was for 19041.2006 -- not even close to 19045.2130.
...
Nope, my Dell laptop with an i5 got and installed the feature update without issues.
Sorry, I don't know how to explain the lack of update offers -- as ALL my Win10 PCs got offered the 22H2 update today, ALL of them -- and that is quite a mix of machines and Windows versions, so...
OK, thanks.
Yeah, I know about that -- I just was curious about what specific build they were running.
