4 months out of warranty, the SSD in my Lenovo Yoga 920 died. I was going to replace it with another 80mm SATA 3 SSD but just discovered NVMe SSDs. I'm wondering whether I can use one of these or...

Mine too. It's just that in scrolling between "Large icons" to "Extra large icons" there is NO increase in icon size. What gets larger is the space the icon occupies. The icons spread out but remain...

I used to be able to Control scroll with the mouse wheel to expand the thumbnail (icon) size to "Extra Large Icons". Now large and extra large produces the same size thumbnail, but with extra large...

I don't use proxy settings. Just checked and none have been nefariously added.

Unfortunately, I cannot access the internet using MS Edge and the MS Store fails to open. Any networked apps from the MS Store fail (eg....

Just to update. The Qualcomm adaptor has continued to require a reset in BIOS each time reboot the device, until this morning that is. It is completely failing to work now and I have no Wi-Fi...

Thanks, I didn't know that. What a handy little button

Okay, there was only one relevant setting in BIOS. Wireless LAN enabled or disabled and it was set to enabled. I changed it to disabled then...

Oh dear. I uninstalled it and rescanned for hardware and now the adaptor doesn't show at all. I rebooted and checked again and its completely gone. The Microsoft virtual Wi-Fi adapters have also...

Okay, I did that and obtained exactly the same error as shown in your image - error 45 device not connected. The issue is this is a brand new laptop and I wouldn't know how to even open it. Moreover,...

Thanks for that. Show hidden devices brought up quite a few more including a Microsoft Wi-Fi Firect adapter and the aforementioned Qualcomm Wireless adapter. Not sure why the latter is hidden.

The adapter doesn't show at all - its simply not there. ipconfig /all shows only the bluetooth device.

Thanks, but Airplane mode is not on.

I have an brand new Lenovo Yoga 920. Picked it up yesterday and it was working perfectly except after a restart this afternoon where it shows "Not connected - No connections are available." When I go...

Yes, I have this card installed in a PCI slot. Clearly I'm not making the best use of this card if it has all these unused channels.

Okay - here it is:

Hi - when I look at my audio devices I can see 16 instances of 'Speakers SndTAudio' each of which is in "ready" status and five instances of AMD High Definition Audio Device (none of which are...

Hi - I recently upgraded from Win 7 Pro to Win 10 Pro. I'm really liking the change BUT I am encountering a constant and frustrating problem with explorer.exe crashing and restarting when working...

Thank you. It was F2 that did the trick. I changed the order pushing Windows Boot Manager and internal HDD down the list and placing the USB options as 1 and 2.

I created a bootable USB using rufus 2.10 and a Windows 10 ISO image I downloaded. The problem is I cannot get the laptop to boot to it. I don't have a CD drive, but two USB ports. I have tried both...

Thanks for your prompt response. No I cannot boot into safe mode. I cannot progress any options on the Startup Setting screen. With any of the options 1 to 9 it keeps returning to the Recovery...

My daughter tried to start her laptop this morning to be confronted by a blue Recovery screen. It looks decidedly like a BSOD but I could not follow the posting instructions for this forum because...

Thanks for that.
ShowKeyPlus reports Windows 10 Home. It gives me a Product ID, Installed Key, OEM Key (same as Installed Key) and OEM Edition. The OEM Edition is:

For a clean install from a bootable USB, wouldn't I need a product Key? I don't have one.

Also, at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softw...load/techbench, under Select Edition, what's the diff...

Okay folks. I have stopped my travels and for the past week have been trying to update to Windows 10 Home, version 1511, 10586. If you've followed the story thus far, I did manage to reclaim about 10...

I see. Okay, I'd better leave it where it is.
Thanks all for your tips. I now have about 9 GB to play around with and a recovery USB drive in case anything goes horribly wrong.
