    Unrealistically high file transfer speeds in Windows 11?

    hey Bruce. I've noticed it mainly on my big internal HDD. For example even with write-caching off (which i just disabled) I copied 4.18GB of video files to it from an internal gen 3 M.2 NVME drive and in TeraCopy the transfer took about 4 seconds and it said it transferred at 3gb/s. I know this...

    Unrealistically high file transfer speeds in Windows 11?

    This isn't so much a tech support question as just something I'm wondering about. I've noticed that when I'm transferring a file from a Gen 4 M.2 NVME drive to my mechanical HDD windows 11 will sometimes show a ridiculous transfer speed like 1.2gb/s which is impossible when transferring a file...

    Solved Converting disk from exfat to ntfs without losing data?

    sorry for the late reply. after tons of looking and downloading programs and then uninstalling them I ended up transferring everything from the drive to 2 other drives then reformatting the drive to ntfs, then transferring everything back to the drive. It's surprising there hasn't been a way to...

    Solved Can't delete files

    you sir are a genius. That worked. I guess you can mark this solved. It's weird because I tried Unlocker before and it didn't work, but then again I didn't have a guide to follow on how exactly to install it. Anyway thanks a ton.

    Solved Converting disk from exfat to ntfs without losing data?

    I want to convert an external ssd from exfat to ntfs. The problem is I have 3TB worth of data on it so backing it up to another drive and then formatting it to ntfs would take forever since I don't have any other ssds that are that size, only mechanical HDDs which only have a write speed of like...

    Best way to go about reinstalling Windows after whole system upgrade, without losing programs and files?

    ah, okay. I'll stick with what i was originally going to do. Hopefully my CPU gets delivered tomorrow and I'll be ordering the RAM tomorrow. The motherboard got delivered yesterday and as far as i can tell appears to be in brand new condition, I even checked the pins on the socket. I was a bit...

    Best way to go about reinstalling Windows after whole system upgrade, without losing programs and files?

    have you guys heard of or tried the windows sysprep tool? I actually asked copliot a few days ago about throwing my current drive into a totally new system and it recommended using sysprep. Supposedly it will remove all hardware drivers and settings from the current Windows OS to get it ready to...

    Best way to go about reinstalling Windows after whole system upgrade, without losing programs and files?

    okay thanks Peter. I'll do that. I do currently have my os and my data on separate drives. I always inevitably end up saving files to my desktop though,lol. I always make sure to change the location of Downloads, Documents, Videos, and Music to my storage drive. I think when I do this install...

    Best way to go about reinstalling Windows after whole system upgrade, without losing programs and files?

    I'm actually not using bitdefender. i was at one point, probably about 2yrs ago. I just use malwarebytes and Microsoft Defender now. After looking at the list again now there's a couple apps on there that I uninstalled a while back but I guess it didn't totally remove them. I use Revo...

    Best way to go about reinstalling Windows after whole system upgrade, without losing programs and files?

    I am switching from an AM4 platform to AM5 in the next few weeks. I know generally it's not a good idea to just plop your OS drive from your past build into the new build because drivers are going to be different so what is the best way to do this without having to completely reinstall Windows...

    The AT&T Tech replaced my router and that seems to have solved the problem I was having. Hopefully. Maybe leave this thread open for a few more days just incase it starts happening again?

    Solved PC keeps losing Internet Connection

    Okay, I'll give that a try when I get home from work. One thing though, you should know about an hour ago I got a text from AT&t saying that my internet connection went out and that I should schedule a technician to come out and take a look at it. So I scheduled a technician to come out and look...
