If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated). Imaging back to this would fail. Always check in your BIOS to see if your drives shows up there. If you're setup in UEFI mode, instead of … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 4 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim When I got it back they had replaced both the motherboard and the power supply and I checked in the store to verify there were no power issues. I suspect you are correct about them not reconnecting the touchpad as that was not working in Linux either. As for GPT vs NTFS, I have never formatted to anything but NTFS, and when I originally got the … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 4 Weeks Ago by rproffitt "I allocated a C partition and formatted as NTFS then boot back into my Windows 11 install USB." That can derail the usual Windows install. On today's PCs I start off with a blank, no partition drive, boot the Windows USB stick and once in a while need to add the Intel RST storage driver. I maintain that Microsoft should update … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 4 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Likewise... Whenever I reinstall Windows, other than the times I've reset to factory, when it gets to the "where do you want to install to" I always get the installer to delete, then recreate the partition. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I got a call from Best Buy this morning to tell me my laptop was back. When I got to the counter I told the tech that I would not accept it until they showed me that it could be reset to factory. I'll leave out a few of the details that don't matter to the tale. He powered up the laptop and showed me Windows 11. The touchpad was working. He went… Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Sounds like a very bad recovery image Possibly. But why didn't this show up when they did the reset prior to returning the laptop? Imagine that you just bought a car (should be pretty easy for you).

No problem because you have a … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Got a call from Best Buy at 6:30 pm the same day. He informed me that the Windows system that the tech installed was not the OEM version for my machine. I asked why this should matter since I requested a reset to factory from the recovery partition. He said they couldn't do that because the recovery partition had been corrupted. So that's two … Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >At some point you are stuck with a clean install I'm using my father-in-law's old laptop in the interim.

You can always download them later, [here](https://www.asus.com/support/download-center/). I consider them all bloatware.

In my opinion, it's equivalent to using ransomware on your own stuff. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I always disable it as well. That's yet another thing I have to remember to undo when I get it back. Re: ASUS Laptops - my experience 2 Weeks Ago by toneewa Sounds like you got it all squared away. One reason I don't want to ever do a Windows reinstall is the compilers, libraries, and other software configurations. I've done 1 since 2015 for myself, with Windows 10. I also expect since, NAND flash SSDs wear out, it'll happen sooner or later. Only 37% life of drive remaining. Best of luck! Re: What's the most unexpected hobby or interest you have outside of coding? 1 Week Ago by Reverend Jim My wife and I consume vast quantities of e-books. Mostly mysteries.

As a teen I loved the (at that time) biggies like Asimov, Heinlein (who has lost his shine the more I learn about him), Blish, Clarke, Herbert, Niven, Ellison, etc. A book I reread every few years is The Flying Sorcerers.
