Just finished the backup with Macrium Reflect Free and the image size is 170GB which is what I would expect it to be with compression of files.

A fairly fortuitous thread. I've just reinstalled Win 10 on to a 1 Tb SSD. Normally I use Acronis 2020 and make an image backup. However with the SSD drive 0 shows in windows explorer a...

One thing I noticed after I had installed Win 10 was that in the BIOS the Advanced Peripherals was set to IDE (the default) rather than AHCI. I read somewhere that that you should use AHCI for...

Finally got around to trying this today. Put the new SSD onto the USB3 port and ran the Samsung SSD clone software. Win XP, 7 and storage partitions added ok but couldn't add Win 10. Tried the...

In the past I have and it's got me out of the poo but not this time when I was trying to clone / restore backup from an old SATA HD to a SSD. Had to do a new install.

Ah Roscoe again with another anti US rant. The last one was just before Easter.

Thanx Wai. Will have a go at this next week when I get a spare day. I have Acronis True Image 2020 that can clone disk and I use this for my weekly image backup. According to what I have read as...

XP has only been used for old analog video editing and DVD creation and last used about 2019 so not a biggy if I have to lose XP or Win 7 and have to start with Win 10 again.

Could I just...

I've just ordered a 1 Tb SSD drive from PB Tech's Easter sale. My main desktop is about 9 years old and still goes well as a tri boot machine . Win XP, Win 7 and Win 10. Do modern...

Agree Roscoe. Hope you had a great Easter..

Yes Roscoe I do and so what.??? God forbid that you should ever watch TV at all.

Here we go. Another anti US rant ..

"On top, the Government will have to buy billions of dollars in offshore carbon credits to meet its Paris Agreement target." what a rort. Sounds like the governments of NZ have been suckered into...

If you're going to buy a new hard disk if the laptop has a SATA interface buy a SSD. Don't bother about an old slow mechanical HD.

All Whites Soccer team ??

Looks like they have done a repeat tonite then.. Wonder how long before the news media change the team's name to Team Aotearoa??

Always been call SPCA here from memory. Having the title "Royal" just seems to give organizations snob value.

Auckland water is fine . Drank it for years..

Saw an article on some overseas site the other week and most of the comments were that the Microsoft AV was just as good as the paid stuff.

Didn't feel anything here in the Waikato.

Yes but other people are being forced to take lessons....

Kapiti was where Saturn TV and phone services first started before the moved to Wellington and later Christchurch.

I have a Microsoft account for email and Windows updates..

All very well having batteries that can do 500000 Km but most vehicles when they reach about 200000Km start developing suspension, drivetrain and other aging issues. What sort of issues will the...
