Hi all. I don't know if this is the correct forum to post this, but, I looked at the other forums, and even though there's one called "PC Gaming", this is not about gaming itself. This sub-forum deals with "Peripherals", and well............ The peripheral I'm referring to is a piece of...

Hi all. I wasn't sure which sub-forum to post this in and almost picked "Antivirus / Security / Privacy", because I thought maybe my issue was considered a "privacy" thing, but not like a virus or anything, just stuff having to do with embedded ads in web browsers. But, I did not see a...

Hi Lafong & USAFRet; thanks for the replies. Yes, what both of you are saying makes sense. Given that my older drive is of the spinning platters type......yes, data is stored differently on there as opposed to the newer SSD/ NVMe drives. And yes, good point about that File Explorer option of...

Hi all. I recently got an NVMe drive. Inside of my tower case, in addition to my "C" drive (which happens to be an SSD drive), I had an additional, separate hard drive. However, I wanted to replace that additional hard drive because I've had it for a while and did not want to take the chance...

Hi again; thanks for the replies, USAFRet & Nighthawk117. Sorry for the delay; I know it's been a bit since I've come back to this message thread..... USAFRet: I know I mentioned that I want an NVMe drive for storing pictures, videos, etc., and you mentioned that "you'll not really see any...

Hi again; thanks for all the replies. Sorry it took me a while to get back to you....... So, it sounds like I was onto something in my original post when I asked about if there were different "generations" or "versions". So there's this 3.0 and 4.0 drives, eh? USAFRet: If I get your...

Hi all. I'm looking to get my first NVMe drive for some storage. I know that these types of drives have been around for a little while now, but they're new to me ;) Heck, I remember back in the 90's, and the "A" drive with the diskette; 1.44 MB if I recall correctly. And also the hard drives...

Wow.....I don't think I've ever had a time when I didn't receive any replies at all; usually somebody thinks of something to suggest. It made me so sad 😢 JK!! Anyway......it took a while, but I discovered & found out the issue myself. I was doing some general searches on the 'Net regarding...

Hi all. Since I now have Windows 11 as my OS and Windows 10 is not in front of me....I can't go look at Windows 10 to check this out & compare ;) In Windows 11, if you click on Settings/ Network & Internet/ Ethernet, inside of here there is (by Default, I believe) a radio button already in...

Hi all. I was originally going to post this over in the Windows 11 forum, but have since discovered something else. First: I have a fresh install of Windows 11 on my custom-built desktop system; not even a week old yet, installed this past Saturday, 12/11/21. And, with my previous Windows 10...

kerberos_20: Sheepishly, yes, I have to admit: Even I was not aware that my "C" drive's disk was GPT 😊 OK, Disk Management....and then you forgot to add, Right-click on the disk and select Properties/ Volume tab; here ya go: Now, the other thing: Windows 10 license product key...

Hi Colif & kerberos_20; thanks for your replies. First off, this is weird: When I came here to my post to check on any updates and I saw your replies, as I scrolled through the message thread, the last reply that I myself put up & posted? The pictures are gone that I embedded, I can't see...

Hi kerberos_20; thanks for the reply! Can't take screen capture shots while in the BIOS, eh? Use your cell phone to take a pic? ;) You have a Gigabyte board, too? Anyway, here's a pic of my Gigabyte motherboard B450M DS3H V2 BIOS screen: So in that pic, where you see the red-colored...

Hi all. I put up a recent post over in the Motherboards sub-forum (https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/tpm-windows-11.3733608/#post-22520761). With my current Windows 10 Pro OS, I saw a message in Settings/ Update & Security that said my PC does not meet the minimum system requirements for...

kerberos_20 & DRagor: Thanks for the informative replies. kerberos_20: Good to know that only the boot drive needs to be GPT, and that with my other HDD that it doesn't matter and it'll still be accessible 🆒 And when I eventually go to do this, I'll check in my BIOS what you mentioned about...
