    Question Ethernet dodgy after m.2 installation???

    How embarrassing to not see the forest for the trees. :I Thought it didn't make sense for this specific hardware change to mess up the connection, but I always get so stressed out changing components haha Initially, while it wasn't working, ipconfig showed initially that there was no assigned...

Absolutely could not figure out what was wrong, since all system readings were normal, so I took it to my more knowledgeable friend. We powered it up at his house and could not recreate the issue...

    Question Can't boot into Safe Mode even though WinRe is enabled

    So, I've been scouring the internet for solutions, and I could really use some help with this problem. After some hardware issues, I tried to go into WinRe to reinstall my video drivers, only to discover that I couldn't load into safe mode - it just sat there with the Windows logo and no loading...
