Somebody said they should get rid of local accounts. Maybe it was sarcasm as you, the user are forced to connect to the internet to make it initially. I'm just generally concerned about something being properietary or just conditioned to be on the internet 24/7. Why would you be forced to...

This would be bad. I recently purchased a laptop with Windows 11 on it. And I couldn't even access my operating system without going online (until I discovered the work around method through command prompt). We don't want things to be online only. Like smartphones which have a telemetry...

Is it normal to have both integrated AMD iGPU drivers and NVIDIA GPU drivers on at the same time? Can I disable integrated? Motherboard is Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus wifi. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU Memory: 32GB T-Force RGB DDR5 I recently installed a GPU because I was having problems with my...

Oh, is that what happened? It's best to disconnect all other drives that you don't plan to install OS first before reformatting. I wouldn't trust easeus. I used EaseUS Partition Master to format a usb drive because windows wouldn't do it. And it just seems like bloatware to me. And some people...

I mean, obviously some scammer got a bunch of old recycled dvdr drives for free that nobody wants and disguised them as new and impressive. LOL. I'm not crapping on Amazon completely, because then I could crap on every big corporate company out there that lets people do shady things. Is it worse...

I'll see what other people say first on other forums. I know it sounds confusing but it's really not. I just have to runs some tests and make sure it works. It's not often I will restore an image and make back ups. Provided the decryption and encryption process doesn't take a long time on a...

Actually I think I did find a solution. Before I do a restore. I make sure that main OS drive is encrypted. So It wont delete any personal files in a wipe. Because the whole image is encrypted. So before I restore. I re-encrypt the drive. Then do the restore. And then when I go back to the main...

And during that wipe it deletes now on an unencrypted drive. That's a huge problem right there. I perhaps maybe should go to the forums of veracrypt and ask or the macrium reflect forums. Otherwise I would have to clone the full partitions as encrypted and restore as encrypted would be the only...

Full back image of main OS partition and MBR partition. The transfer itself to a encrypted container (lets say I'm only using 25GB at the time on the main OS) I make the container 25GB. The main OS is unencrypted at the moment for the backup to the container. So the transfer of the full backup...

I need help with Macrium Reflect backups with veracrypt encrypted hard drives. Is this method safe for back ups? I want to encrypt a full OS hard drive with the main OS. I just have a few questions. I did some side research on this. The original plan was I wanted to partition the hard drive...

Yeah, I think it will be alright, I don't have to install steam games on another partition. I just use the main OS partition. As I don't think I'm going to have a lot of games. Like I said the only reason someone would partition a hard drive for the main OS is to do reflect back ups. But...

So you are saying that 570GB is alright for the main OS for Windows 10? Keep it this way? Is shrinking an OS partition risky? I would only do it for the Reflect back ups. But I think I can easily handle one back up every 4 months with 570GB. As I have a usb 3.0 external drive.

My idea of putting steam games on a secondary internal 7200RPM Sata HDD is not necessary then. And the video editing can be done on the SSD on a new partition. I really struggled with what partition size I was going to use for the main OS. As I wanted to be able to back up the main OS...

I'm going to see if I can get 8TB hard drive with 7200 RPM just in case at the price range of this drive "Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s " which is $120.00 Thanks for the advice. It seems there is no hurry on this honestly. As I'm still researching this...

Okay so it's not a big deal to get the "Seagate BarraCuda 8TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch Sata 6 Gb/s 5400 RPM 256MB" I just use the main Solid State hard drive and the remaining space to do the video editing work. And the steam games I just what do what the other bull001g said. You...
