Hi there
@f14tomcat
Skippy / Insider builds expire on Dec 14. Standard WU is OK of course.

@CountMike

You beat me to it -- had my eyes on Trading Screens - best time for dealing on London (FTSE) exchange is the ist 15 mins after market there opens at 08.00 Local (GMT) time.

As I've a bit more time these days I really enjoy doing some "day Trading" but you need quick fingers on buttons to get best deals !!!

Cheers

Hi there

I like that

-- a bit more profitable though (usually) !!! I'd hate though to be one of those full time traders -- pressure must be horrible especially if you can't quickly close a losing position !!!

Incidentally any smidgen of news coming out from Ms as to when next builds are available as 14 Dec (build expiry date) not far off now.

Cheers

Mine did also , removed the '" Recovery"-partition to unallocated , then gave this extra space to Win10(C:) .
So, two partitions left on my SSD ( 1809)................

Do not ever remove the GPT Parition like some idiot wiki article said you don't need it. Your computer will BSOD on a reboot then W10 will load fine but Macrium will fail if you try to do an backup.

It was no problem as I had a Macrium backup created the day before that I was able to restore.

" Do not ever remove the GPT Parition "..................WHAT do you mean by GPT Partition ? Is it the Recovery-Partition ??

I'm not sure what is meant by 'GPT' partition. Maybe the EFI System Partition? Maybe the Microsoft reserved partition (the tiny 16 MB partition right after the EFI partition, which on my system is itself only 260 MB).
