Thank you. I have everything hidden the on the taskbar, I only have open programs and the time showing. I still don't know what the Windows key plus other key presses do. I haven't bothered to learn.

Is it possible to move the search icon to the start menu or is that just for folders?

Windows 10 version: 21H2

Don't count on it. I recommend backups to people I talk to and I get an OK, but they never do it, then they wonder why I can't recover all of their files.

I'm installing Windows updates and any Dell drivers it finds as I type this. I don't know why I chose repair. I was reading directions on Dell's website and on the bad computer's thumb drive program....

The owner just brought me a new hard drive. How can I clean install Windows 10 (what he presently has) and keep (or transfer) all of his files?

I won't be able to add a user account, I can't use the mouse or keyboard while it's flashing. I can't do anything as the owner forgot his password to the admin account.

It does not flash in BIOS. While fumbling through trying to get any option to work I saw a display test and ran it. It was a Dell branded test. Just basically to see if the display could display...

I'm looking at a friends computer for him because the screen (Windows) is flickering. The display passed the video test, I tried to access advanced startup options but he forgot the admin password. I...

I've decided to use the Synology DS1821+ NAS
I believe it uses SAMBA so I'll map the drive letters as said in a previous post. I could've done this on the Drobo but Synology has better documentation...

I have 2019 Home & Business (stand alone) and I had to enter my credentials.

I have it working in basic mode as I can see the switch connected to my router.
I temporarily connect one Drobo to the switch.

I can't find the Drobo and I can't find the switch using the Netgear...

That's what I did but it wasn't working. Not even the Netgear switch discovery tool would find the switch. I'll try again when I get home from work. I'm doing port based because I don't know what...

I backed up my files to a HDD. I removed the Drobo's from my network and I'm currently looking through suggestions.

I bought a Netgear C6230 modem/router and a Netgear GS108Ev3 switch. The modem/router has two ports numbered 1 and 2. I was thinking I could use 1 for ports 2-4 on the switch and 5 for ports 6-8. The...

I am using IPv4. To use it how I have it right now, will I have to create a mapped location for each folder that's on the Drobo?
I have three Drobo 5N's. The first one has multiple folders. The...

Would I need a user name/password to access the Drobo? I use one now and I would like to keep that feature.

Here is a list of Network protocols for the Synology.

I've read through his fix and realized that all it does is enable SMBv1. I can do that quite easily but I'm looking for another solution. If the Drobo's rely on SMB but version 1 is disabled on the...

I was looking at the apps I have installed to the Drobo. Right now there are Drobo Access, MyDrobo, Apache, Locale, MySQL and Python 2.
Do you think there is an app that I can install to get around...

Thanks again Railtech.

What if I have multiple folders stored to the Drobo? The first Drobo is for all my misc files and folders. The second Drobo is for my movies and the third is for my PC games. The second and third are...

I renamed the Drobo's some time ago when I had them setup in Windows 7.

so like this:
\\D1\Movies

Only if SMBv1 in enabled in Windows, not the Drobo.
Railtech seems to be on to something. I'll play around with Network location.

Thank you.
Will I need to set a...

If I enable it in Drobo dashboard it still doesn't show in Windows. The latest firmware for the Drobo's (which I have) gives you the option to disable it because of security concerns.

I have a couple Drobo 5N's attached to a switch and then to my network.
I can't see them in Network but I can see them in Drobo Dashboard.

I know you can enable SMBv1 in Windows 10. It's only...
