Are the Samsung Evo SSD 500GB 860 and the 870 interchangeable so I can just swap them out without conflict? I could either format the new or create a new simple volume, or better yet recover a Macrium image? TY

User can check if the "trim" function for the SSD is currently enabled by entering the following command: fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify If I enter this command in my Win10 then the following result is shown: C:\Users\pet>fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify NTFS...

Hello please help I'm trying to run the mbr2gpt command and conversion so I can enable my secure storage option so I can move to win 11. When looking at the log for why the action failed to validate it tells me that BCD for boot volume cant be opened. Also my boot manager is somehow one disk 1...

Hi there, I have installed Win10 on my laptop & also python, brave browser & putty. The windows folder is 45GB so, I think I might have a previous build or old version saved somewhere - I don't know. Is there a way of checking? Many thanks John

Greetings, I have a Samsung 4TB SSD Drive. It is shown as 2TB allocated and 2 TB unallocated (free). I want a single drive/partition of 3.9TB. I have looked at disk manager, but cannot see how to add the majority of the "free" partition to the 1.9TB allocated?? I have also viewed diskpart...

My pc tells me i have 43 GB available on 185, and i dont even have an app who's taking so much space, i even checked everywhere if some apps where taking a lot of space but with no results at all, what the hell is going on? can somebody help?

I have had this issue for awhile am I cannot find a permanent solution. I have an external drive that I use across computers for samples and I can never get it to stay at the same letter (R:), forcing me to change it in the disk manager each time it happens. It can stay on the drive letter for...

I am trying to figure out what happened to my system to prevent it from happening again, and how to fix it. I had an old hard drive that I got from my family member after I upgraded their hard drive to an SSD for more speed. My plan was to slave it to my computer and format the hard drive, using...

Hi, I've just bought a 2 TB WD Blue Solid State Drive for my Acer Windows 10 Pro 64-bit desktop PC. It shows up in disk management but not in windows explorer. Also, when I go to dotprompt/ diskpart/list volume it doesn't show up. All the advice seems to be about getting it to show up in disk...

Dear Anyone. I know this is stoopid and I should know the answer, be kind! I've got 2 external hard drives attached to my Win10 machine. One's gone dodgy. I know PHYSICALLY which of the 2 it is, so I want to copy all the data from it to the other one BUT - I don't know how to tell which...

The following's copied and pasted from Link Removed. ――――― 1. I must reduce HD disk space. How safe is deleting Apps.ppkg? Its size is 3.6 GB. I use Windows 10. I must double check because another program file usmt.ppkg MUST NOT be deleted. 2. I read this abstruse explanation of Apps.ppkg, but...

I've installed an extra 500GB SSD to my server that will only be used as the disc for a single VM; it won't be utilised for cache, appdata, or anything else. Is it better to set it up as a cache pool device and use it to store only one vdisk file? I'm hoping to receive the greatest possible...
