Here in UK, after returning a £400 Windows 11 laptop to a vendor and deciding that I shall have to spend a bit more, "to see me out", as my wife charmingly puts it, I am looking at the:
Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5i Laptop, Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 14" WUXGA OLED, Cloud Grey...

I have used Dell laptops and desktops since the 1980s and have been mostly satisfied with them. However, in mid-2022, I bought an Insprion 3510, because it was fast and had Windows 11 (yes, the best free windows). It turned out to be the fastest and most efficient laptop I ever owned, but the...

I have been trying for several days to get a just-installed W10 22H2 system to act right.
The OS will only boot from BIOS "UEFI <disk> windows boot mgr".
I have gone through 6 or 7 YT vids on trying to fix one thing or another. So I re-installed 22H2.
For some reason, there's no reserved...

Thanks. If not:
I have an i5 2500K and an ASUS P67 Sabretooth board.
