That would certainly work, thanks. As it turns out, I found one that looks like it will do the trick; it comes in 4- and 7-port models. Even the 4-port model should be plenty for my needs, but...

It seems there is a general consensus of the best things to upgrade (SSD, RAM, GPU). It would help to know not only more details of your computer (as others have suggested), but also what you intend...

Folks,

I have an Alienware 15 laptop for which I'm running out of USB ports. (I use if for some gaming, but it's also my full desktop replacement / home computer.) What I'd like to do is add a...

Thanks Kyhi. I'll do that once I'm convinced I'm not inadvertently killing anything useful. :-)

NavyLCDR, thanks for the tip. Please take a look at this screen shot. If I interpret this...

I'll work on that over the weekend. I plan to uninstall the HDD to confirm the SSD is working alone, then I'll use Kyhi's recovery tools to combine the HDD to a single partition.

I consider this...

I don't think I can do that - or at least I don't know how. I've been in the boot options page and the bios page and can't find anything that lets me set devices as enabled or disabled. With it set...

OK, closer...
(You guys rock, by the way)

I was able to get Macrium Reflect to create a recovery CD, boot from it, and run its boot repair. I think things are almost working right. Here's where...

OK, more help needed, I'm afraid.


I downloaded the ISO for Kyhi's recovery disk, but my computer won't boot from it. Don't know how to proceed on that front.
I also downloaded Macrium...

Thanks to you all for the help. I'll try it this evening and report back results. Y'all are awesome.

Zbook,
I'll pull that additional data this evening. Thanks!

Topgundcp,
A couple of questions... first, how does the redundancy help? There are no OS files on the HDD, only on the flash. What is going to be redundant?

Also, it sounds like this will be...

TopGunDCP,

Here is the info you requested. Obviously, Disk 0 is the rotating HDD; Disk 1 is the M.2 SSD.

After having trouble with the Fall Creators Update not installing, I finally got it to install, but my computer would never shut down afterwards. I foolishly forced power off, and now am stuck with...

I did try searching, and couldn't find anything that looked like this. I ended up finding a solution. It's not too elegant, but it got the job done...

For each non-existent app, I clicked on it...

I just got a new computer (actually a warranty replacement, but that's not important here) and have been installing all my apps fresh for a clean baseline.I uninstalled Microsoft Office 2016 using...

NavyLCDR,

That was a good idea, thanks. I gave it a shot, but unfortunately I was having some issues with some of the hardware not working under the new user account. It wasn't even a driver...

When I right-click on the Downloads name that has the documents icon, select Properties, Location, Restore Default, it says it will recreate C:\Users\scott\Downloads. I tried to manually change the...

Thanks, but that's not it. Check out the screenshot reply to NavyLCDR. There are 2 Downloads links under This PC. I have the Quick Access stuff collapsed.

LCDR,

See below. Under This PC there are 2 Downloads folders. In the actual <username> folder on C:, there are no Downloads, Music, or Videos folders.

Just set up an OEM version on Windows 10 Home on a new laptop. After getting it set up, I moved the Music, Pictures, and Videos folders under This PC to a secondary drive. (I did this by right...
