No info what the update was supposed to be doing. Seems rather basic. Perhaps no one knows. MS is looking for the root of the problem, but it's too dark! We have pics of that.

My understanding was the "data base" is the TH site. This is much smaller than all the so-called "information" everywhere in the web. Because of higher quality & other knowns, would make the bot's task easier. For now I would not complain bc a supposed answer is somewhere but not here. Also...

Have never used GPT for anything & maybe I'm easily impressed. :unsure: Not for black & white answer. Rather what to try first to minimize spend on new items & work. Simpler and maybe better than forum question. Only issue was link to other prices was dead and then original page could not be...

Thanks, but I don't know DMDE.* T7 comes pre-formated and works fine in W10. All operations OK and chkdsk no errors. Format is a FAT called ex-FAT, proprietary to Sams I believe. This seems to be all about W7. Are you saying DMDE will do diagnosis, non-destructive, presumably in the W7 machine...

:ROFLMAO: - Newegg asked the AI Genie "Can you design a PC Builder that pretends to serve the customer but actually maximizes our profits?" :sneaky:And the AI said "Of course".

I used only 10% of a T7 on a W10 pc for backup. But when I usb it in a W7-64 I'm asked to format, told the disk is dirty, and can see it is treated as a lettered hdd. The suggested fixes on web, starting with chkdsk, are not anything I would do to a working portable ssd. Samsung is either...

Does Windows see this as using same serial # OS on multiple pc/s? It might not be in fact, but certainly could be.

@BogdanH "Hard to imagine two boards (even they're equal) would just die with same symptom. " That's what I thought until I learned more. Per the link in my OP, 2nd PSU was tried before replacing board. So, pin problem would have to be on the mobo. Mobo is replaced, fail repeats. That could...

"This Reg knows nothing about any applications that may have been installed before." I get that, why I said [meant] each program must be installed anew. Question is, installed from what? I said clone or copy bc in typical case everything is on the C. Here OP already has it on separate drive...

I don't understand this at all. When I replaced one Asus Z97 with another a few months ago, it was A-OK immediately. At some point I had to "activate" by valid license code. No problem and no need to clean install. My exper MS requires activation with valid code for any hardware change it can...

Can he "image" or clone the drive that has the programs to another disk , then put that on the W10 disk after install? Meaning new install for each program, but an easier way. Thanks to OP for asking, a lot of bad info out there.

Backstory below, I don't think it matters.* New mobo, OK for less than an hour & I notice erratic kb and mouse, sometimes no input. I wasn't on the web, no lan. Next day it locks up at log-in, pw request in normal mode. I'm thinking it's about usb &/or the mobo, but it's fine/ok in safe mode...

One more try I forgot, longshot. BIOS may have setting for XCHI Handoff. If so, change it (only 2 choices). It's usb ports & I have no theory, only you give W10 a poke, it may reset or react. Worst can happen you get usb 2 instead of 3 so remember you did it.

Don't know if this is a done thing here but I've been advising a user who posted about usb problem in system forum. Almost sure it's W10 problem, so I link here. Maybe W10 gurus can do better?

I think can fit right under vid card in PCIx (small) slot. The usb cards are very small and parts all project below the board and slot, so should fit. If you had to, looks like you could even put the wifi card under the vid, I cant be sure. Again short advice first. If this works I would try...
