Easy stripdown and reassemble but the SSD clone failed to bootup. In BIOS, the new drive was shown
as first device in Boot Menu but getting 'no operating system found' on every boot attempt, so I...

Thanks for advice Wanui. Done all I can so far to optimise. SSD arrived today
and I am now at 50% of cloning with Macrium Reflect. Looking forward to the
stripdown tomorrow to get at the internal...

Thanks guys for your comments - all understood.
Decided out of curiousity to get a 250GB SSD (on it's way) for £30.
Will clone the Hdd and do a swap. The subject PC is lightly used by

Yes, Intel Atom. I am aware of it's limitations and the 2GB RAM
and already described it as 'past it's use by date' to the user
who is an octogenarian, reluctant to let go of his beloved PC
and...

I've cleaned out a friend's Emachines all-in-one EZ1601 and I am looking
for ways to speed up the really poor performance (running Windows7).
It has a slow 1.6GHz CPU and will only take 2GB RAM...

I have in my garage a vintage Marconi valve radio receiver and use it frequently.
The RF, IF and detector stages are glass valve operated but I have converted the
AF amp and output stages to solid...

Roscoe: There are several suppliers of Thermionic Valves for vintage radios such as in the link below.
The cost including shipping needs to be considered. Due to it's age, your radio...

OK, Found the answer. The B+M keyed device can be used in all three socket forms : 'B', 'M' and 'B+M'

For clarity: A few months ago I purchased on Ebay what was described as a new fully
working plug & play external M.2 SSD. When delivered I found that there was no SSD
board inside the enclosure...

This is the narrow motherboard inside an external USB enclosure
to mount a 22mm wide Sata SSD. There are no Mfr or Model
markings on it. From China.

I am not familiar with M.2 SSDs (learning curve) and could use some advice.
I am led to believe that a B and M keyed SSD card is compatible with an M

Cat 5e
The “e” in Cat 5e stands for “enhanced.” There are no physical differences between Cat 5 and Cat 5e cables.
However, manufacturers build Cat 5e cables under...

Both CAT5e and CAT6 can handle speeds of up to 1000 Mbps, or a Gigabit per second.
The main difference between CAT5e and CAT6 cable lies within the bandwidth the cable

This may be worth checking: Check Volume Shadow Copy.
Applicable up to and including Win 7. Don't know about Win 10.

The Volume Shadow Copy utility from Windows creates backups of your Windows...

I agree that Niel F's problem is probably the amount of space allocated
for the restore points. Mine is always configured for 10% of drive space
and I've never had his problem. I also backup weekly...

They have now gone to bed, so perhaps now would be the right time
for the bagpipes!

I have just posted this sarky note through my next door neighbor's

I never get sucked into making purchases in response to Black Friday adverts /offers,
unless an item I NEED and have searched for has been reduced in price. It seems to
me that it is an annual...

Black Friday deals have arrived – even thought the big event is actually just under a week away.

It’s felt like we can’t move for seeing a Black Friday advert these past few days, but we’ll...

With MPC-HC you also have these Height/Width and other adjustments in the right click

ditto Lawrence post. I've had this a couple of times and the noise has been
caused by bearings of the graphics card fan. In fact, I am awaiting delivery
of a replacement for this reason. Stop the...

Yes Wainui, thanks for pointing that out. Just shows how careful we need to be.
I searched for the L55-C5392 and up came the L55 video which I assumed to be
