256 TopicsMy PC won't let me sign into my other account
Every time I turn my Windows 11 PC on it just automatically signs into the main account and won't let me switch. I click the logo in the bottom left and then the profile, but it just closes the window as if I clicked off. I have tried many other ways, like clicking CTRL ALT DELETE then sign out. But it shows only the main account as an option for me to sign into. And I know it didn't delete my account, because when I click Family and Users in settings, it shows my other account yet doesn't let me switch.8Views0likes0CommentsTurning DELL Desktop Computer PC i5 Work PC into Gaming PC?

I'm not looking to sell or anything. I want to know its price if I sell it in the future, not confirmed. Bought this in used condition for around 80k, and I can say it is quite a powerful machine for me. Specs: Intel Core i7 8th Gen 16 gb ram DDR4 (Maybe 5.. i dont remember) Intel 620 integrated gpu Windows 11 pro 1920x1080p 60Hz Display Other specs in the pics So, I used it with delicate care as I am a PC enthusiast. It has a minor scratch at the back, and the side vents are broken due to weak plastic, but they were broken before I bought it. Also, please don't criticise and provide your honest opinion27Views0likes1CommentThe “onetFile” folder keeps automatically appearing on the C drive in Windows 11
I'm running Windows 11, and a folder named “onetFile” keeps automatically appearing in the root directory of Drive C. It reappears shortly after I delete it. The folder contains only an empty subfolder named “recv.” Every time this folder is created, File Explorer becomes noticeably sluggish. I don't have OneNote or OneDrive installed on my computer. Could this be a virus? What are the possible causes? How can I fix this?18Views0likes1CommentHelp Deciding Whether or Not to Upgrade
I’m mainly looking at upgrading my graphics at the moment, but I’m unsure if I should just update the card or if I need to update the mobo and all and do a fresh build. This is my first self built pc, so I’m not sure how it all goes. Current graphics is a 3060TI and I’m looking at getting an RX 9070 Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX II AM4 CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X 8Core 3.6GHz 64gb of DDR4 RAM total I was considering getting the 9070 and updating to Windows 11 just not sure how going all new with only 1 component would be on this build. Do new CPUs fit into older Mobos? I know I can’t do new RAM and RAM is essentially the reason I’m not doing a whole new build in the first place lol.42Views0likes0CommentsHow do I free up storage space on my Windows 11 PC?
Hi everyone, I have an legacy PC that was recently upgraded to Windows 11, and now I am running low on storage space. The computer has a 256GB SSD, and there is only about 20GB of free space left. I am worried that this may affect performance or cause problems with updates. I am not very tech-savvy, so I would really appreciate simple and safe advice. What are the best ways to free up storage space on Windows 11 PC without deleting anything important? I would like to know what I should check first, which files are usually safe to remove, and whether Windows 11 has any built-in tools that can help. Thanks in advance for any help.425Views0likes10CommentsSwapping disk drives
Hey all- I have two identical Dell 7310 laptops. Both have M2 SSDs. One developed a memory error and the RAM is not replaceable, it is soldered onto the motherboard. And of course it is the laptop with critical work being done. So question...can I simply take the drive from the bad one and swap it with the other laptop? Not sure what or if these drives/OS installs get married to the individual hardware or not. Anybody able to shed light on this? It is Windows 11 Pro. I'm just fearing a TPM issue, etc. GeorgeC51Views0likes1CommentClonezilla PXE deployment fails because disk name changes (sda vs nvme) – how to fix?
I’m trying to use Clonezilla to mass deploy a Windows image to multiple PCs over the network. Here’s what I did: Created an image using Clonezilla from a Windows machine (via USB) Set up Clonezilla Server (DRBL) for network/PXE deployment Goal: restore this image to multiple client PCs (disk-to-disk deployment) The problem: During the setup on the Clonezilla server, it asks me to select a destination disk (e.g. sda). But this seems to be based on the server machine, not the client machines. When clients boot over PXE and try to restore the image, the process fails because: The disk name on the client is different (e.g. nvme0n1 instead of sda) Clonezilla expects the exact disk name defined earlier There’s no option on the client side to select or override the target disk What I expected: I expected Clonezilla to: Either ignore the disk name and restore to the primary disk automatically Or let the client choose the destination disk during deployment75Views0likes2CommentsWindows 11 showing no internet when connected
the no internet is visible in the bottom right and in windows settings, also mcsf connect test fails every time I wouldnt really mind if this was just a visual glitch but I can't download any windows updates or even log into websites like spotify because of this. It started happening out of nowhere after I reset my windows and yes I tried reinstalling drivers and resetting my network.93Views0likes3CommentsClonezilla PXE deployment fails because disk name changes (sda vs nvme) – how to fix?
