Lblitzer posted:Windows 8 does not use product keys for OEM machines. The number is built into the BIOS but I'm not able to figure out where to get a copy of Windows 8 Pro but also not sure if it would work because it didn't come preloaded. You should be able to retrieve your key using the steps in this link: http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-retrieve-windows-8-oem-product-key-from-bios/ And then use this link to download Windows 8.0: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only Once you've upgraded with that key, you should be able to install 8.1 with no problems. I did exactly this with a Lenovo laptop a couple months ago and it worked like a champ.

Beyond that, it looks like Vietnam uses 220V anyways.

space marine todd posted:I want to start with a completely clean install of Windows 10, but I don't want to lose my applications and the preferences/data for those applications. Is there an application that lets me save and back just those things up? I think most of these things live in AppData or something? Isn't that a textbook use case for the "Reset this PC" option in Win10 settings?

I got Rockbox up on it and started using Strawberry, but devices don't seem to be supported on Windows. Not sure if it still supports classics, but try MediaMonkey?

Oscar Wild posted:Sorry if this isn't the right place but I'm due to get new anti-virus software for a windows PC. I've been using ESET and was wondering if that's still a good choice or if switching to Kaspersky is a good choice. Kaspersky allows me to have more devices at a lower cost which I'd like. Any pros or cons to either? The only thing you're gonna hear from this thread is "uninstall all third-party AV and just use Windows Defender"

Fame Douglas posted:7zip is open source and fast (supports current CPU extensions), everything I need. It also integrates well into the Windows Shell, which means I primarily use it through the right-click menu (also, if you're annoyed by the two-stage right click menu of the Windows 11 Explorer and want to revert it to Windows 10-style, get http://startisback.com/tbd/) Nice, thanks for the SIB link. The right-click menu has been unexpectedly enraging.

powderific posted:I’ve been very happy with backblaze. Feel kinda guilty about how much I’ve got backed up for the price. Only thing I don’t like is you have to keep external drives connected like once a month. Yeah Backblaze B2 is great, cheap, and I can set up scheduled pushes from TrueNAS to keep things backed up without having to think about it.

First, it doesn't index the Control Panel right, I have to type out the whole thing if I want to get to Add/remove or whatever. I also can't seem to find Calendar. Wanted to set up my Google calendar sync and it's nowhere to be found. The dev is extremely active on this forum thread: https://msfn.org/board/topic/183013-startallback-for-windows-11 You might find answers/be able to file a report there.

I use FF Nightly on my phone, because it allows pull-to-refresh, and (I think) is required to be able to install arbitrary add-ons. I deal with a little jank every now and then but otherwise it's great.

Ynglaur posted:CPU usage is fine. It only stutters when someone else joins - it seems fine in Synapse, in Teams in a meeting in which I'm the only participant, etc. I never had good luck with either the USB hub or the ethernet port on the Core X Chroma. On Windows, the ports were OK most of the time but flaked out occasionally in the way you're seeing. On Linux, the ethernet would straight up drop connection every minute or so for about 10 seconds. I stopped using those ports soon after buying the enclosure, which was a massive bummer.

Ynglaur posted:I actually have a solution to the Ethernet issue! After USB-to-Ethernet adapter setup, set "Interrupt Moderation Rate" to "Disabled" of ASIX AX88179 USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. You can do this through Device Manager. I had the same symptom, and that configuration change resolved it. Wish I'd known sooner! I ended up selling it earlier this year cause of those issues. It was super cool when it worked (and the eGPU side always worked flawlessly) but too frustrating on a daily basis.

Man with Hat posted:Windows 11 is grouping my windows into groups in the task bar based on parts of the monitor they take up so if I use win+left to set Chrome on half my schreen and win+right to put teams on the other half, now when I hover over either icon in the taskbar there are all the individual windows but also a Group | *stuff* option that pops up. Can I turn this off somehow? Not at a Windows PC right now but check out Settings->System->Multitasking, I think it might be in there.
