If they setup your PC with Windows 11, there's a good chance a GPT partition was used instead of NTFS (outdated).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 Hardware and Software 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 Hardware and Software 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 Hardware and Software 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 Hardware and Software 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 Hardware and Software 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 Hardware and Software 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: Do you participate in any other communities?

Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani Oh, and as for Reddit, Google has taken a very keen interest in Reddit as of recently. They just began paying them for full access to their internal API to get a stream of all Reddit content. Plus they just very recently IPO'ed a few days ago and their stock is doing quite well. (I bought a little on opening day).
