I normally read the user or service manual for the computer or motherboard. That method has not failed me yet.

Here's the problem with that and an SSD. Once all those zeroes and ones are written to all the cells on the SSD, the cells must be reset anyway so that they can accept new data. As many members...
Let me try to explain things to you, Sapien 1.
To restore your main laptop:
1. Create the Windows 10 installation USB flash drive by downloading it directly from Microsoft using any computer...
You already have a digital license for Windows on your main laptop. You can do a clean install on it for free. But it's your money to waste, not mine.
RVC could just add their own MS account to the computer, log in with it, and the digital license would link to their account.
Add your own MS account to the computer and log in with it.
Just need to be careful to use the Windows 7 product key from a printed COA label. The actual installed key for Windows 7 may be the factory SLIC key which will not work with Windows 10.
Why do you say that? On an upgrade, Windows 10 will assume the Windows 7 license. The Windows 7 license should be activated before upgrading.
It is not required to do an upgrade. If the Windows 8 was factory loaded, there will be a product key stored in BIOS that Windows 10 and Windows 11 setup will use to activate with.
Samsung My Files allows you the ability to colbert to network shares, but you have to initiate file transfers from your phone.
That is very strange indeed, because genuine Windows 10 OEM comes on DVD, not on USB flash drive.
NVMe drives will not disable SATA ports. They operate on completely separate busses.
You do have to be careful when installing multiple NVMe SSDs in regards to PCI lanes. If I installed an NVMe SSD in my second M.2 slot, it would take away PCI lanes (I believe 2 lanes) from the slot...
Since it is in store only can you pick one up and send it to me?
I would recommend you find the user manual for the modem and read what it says regarding accessing a drive connected to the USB port.
I would suggest that you download Windows 10 directly from Microsoft and reinstall an unmodified version of Windows 10. We have no way of knowing what modifications to the ISO file this "technician"...
GPT is not required to boot in UEFI mode.
Some computers will boot from NTFS in UEFI mode, most won't and require a FAT partition to boot in UEFI from.
Since JerometheGiraff refuses to follow any of our instructions completely, we really can't tell. Here is what is interesting. In the screenshot of disk management, post #33, there is no...
If the drive is GPT, then yes, just manually create an ESP partition. How did you get it converted to GPT? Does the command:
diskpart
list disk
have an asterisk in the GPT column for that...
Did you delete the two recovery partitions?
The video in post #3 will only work on a GPT disk. You have an MBR disk. Go ahead and try to create an ESP partition on your MBR disk and it will tell...
I don't believe that I stated anywhere in my post to do it from a rescue disk. Also read post #15 which is another experienced user here telling you to do exactly the same thing that I advised doing....
Changing E: drive will have no effect on running mbr2gpt on C: drive. I gave you the solution, in my experience, that had the greatest chance of success.
Since the old computers were upgrades from Windows 7, their current Windows 10 Product Keys are probably the generic.
Since C: is marked as both the system and boot partition, the computer is booting from it, which is the drive that mbr2gpt will recognize as the system drive and try to convert. I would run, in...
