The A55 is too big and heavy, and won´t be sold in the US. The S23 FE is somewhat better, at least it has a basic tele camera.

It´s possible to run Windows from an external USB SSD (or HDD, very slow). I have done it, but not from a cloned USB disk. I never use clone, only images.

What happens if an F key is used to enter the boot menu? Does the USB drive appear as a boot option? I so, does it boot?

To reformat and to secure erase are different. The purpose if reformat is to change the file system, the purpose of secure erase is to make the information unreadable. In the case of NVMe SSDs, an...

Note that the aggregate bandwith to the computer ("stream to host") is 5 Gb/s (theoretical maximum). So how many devices can be operated at the same time depends on how they are used.

The headline is misleading. The TPM was cracked, BitLocker wasn´t. I wouldn´t expect too much security of a TPM in a 10-year old laptop...

In the code, there are two different ids for the partition.

There are different types of monitors. If LCD, they can be IPS, VA, or twisted nematic. They can also be OLED. The response times are different depending on the technology used.

MiniTool Partition Wizard can create a recovery partition, but not in the free version. The option was suppressed several years ago.

In other versions, create a normal NTFS partition > select it >...

Yes. I did it. It´s not necessary to "recover" the free space, it can be left alone.

I don´t think so. I got the update in a computer in which WinRE is the first partition.

Use the NVMe SSD enclosure with the 500 GB drive. USB 3.0 will limit the speed, but in any case it will be faster than a USB stick (UFD). USB Superspeed is equivalent to USB 3.0, 5 Gbits/s...

Read the update README, look for any reference to Windows 10. If you don´t find any, do not update. Note also that the update is labeled "Recommended". If it was really important, it would be labeled...

NVMe SSDs were launched 10 years ago.

I have a ThinkPad laptop. The battery can be disabled from the UEFI Setup (BIOS), but it it´s enabled again automatically when the charger is connected. So it´s not possible to disable the battery...

I searched for ec-dflt in the Sabrent support page. I found a firmware update and downloaded a rar. The chip is a JMS568, and the files included are dated 2015 or 2016, a rather old update. If this...

What is the model of the enclosure? What bridge chip does it have?

Why did you install a firmware update? Was there any problem with the enclosure?

Where did you download the update from?

87.73 TB are a lot of writes for a 256 GB SSD. The TBW spec for such a SSD should be 200 or less, so the actually written TBs are 44% of the rated TBWs. I would replace it ASAP.

Bad. Replace it with a Samsung 870 EVO SSD, as recommended in another post. If the results are not satisfactory, discard the laptop, reuse the SSD in another computer or as an external USB disk....

A USB Ethernet adapter needs a driver, but Windows should install it automatically. Check in Device Manager if the adapter appears and if some problem is reported.

Try connecting the mouse/keyboard receiver to an extension USB 2.0 cable.

Yes. Windows 7 didn´t have drivers for USB 3.0. Windows 10 has them built-in.
