Upgrading Dell XPS 17 L702X from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro
Have tried to upgrade my Dell XPS 17 L702X from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11 Pro. Issue is when it restarts for the 3rd time after installing, the Windows 11 logo is stuck on the screen, and goes no further. Did all the registry hacks of adding key "LabConfig", and DWord (32-bit) BypassTPMCheck, BypassSecureBootCheck, BypassCPUCheck, BypassRAMCheck with values of 1 each. After searching around for answers, one response wrote let the pc run for 1 to 2 hours to see if it finishes the upgrade. Did not work. 8 GB Ram and Samsung 500 GB SSD installed on laptop. Updated all the drivers, bios(2020 version), etc... Attached the setuperr2.log file. Any help with this issue? Thanks for any responses.Save the date: Windows Office Hours - March 20, 2025

I bought an used HP laptop from eBay and ready to install Windows 11 on it. When I booted the laptop from USB clean install, all of sudden it says this PC does not meet the minimal system requirements of Windows 11. So I was forced to check the system requirements with the Health Check Tool and it turns out the CPU is not supported. Here is the computer specs: CPU: Intel i5 6500 RAM: 8GB SSD: 256GB Graphics: Integrated Intel HD 630 4GB Currently, there is no OS on it. How can I install Windows 11 on i5 6500 CPU? Should I apply some tricks to bypass the Windows 11 system check?
Bagaimana cara menyembunyikan alamat email di Pengaturan saat masuk dengan Microsoft Account
Is there a way to hide the email address in this setting when using Microsoft Account sync? Sometimes we need to take screenshots or screen recordings of this setting, and I don’t want my email address to be displayed here. Maybe it could be replaced with a group role like "Administrator" or just "Microsoft Account" instead of showing the actual email address.
Right click on shortcut to Open file location does not work except for Excel
Right click on desktop shortcut to Open file location does not work except for Excel, Word shortcut. Anyone else experience this? If I right click on desktop ANY shortcut icon in Windows 10 on other laptop next to me and select Open File Location-it will open any location for ANY shortcut or program. I have the same programs on Windows 11 laptop and Bat and other files. When I Right click on desktop in Windows 11 23H2 (have not updated in a month or so due to prob I read with updates) and select "Open File Location" , it yields no results. Nothing opens UNLESS it is the 2 shortcuts Word and Excel shortcuts. Right click and select Troubleshooter compatibility also does not work but never tried it from desktop so I do not care. I have normal things on desktop like Zoom, , Macrium, FileZilla Pro, Chrome, Firefox, various shortcuts to folders... Works within the Start menu or if I select just Open in the start menu. But on desktop, nope except MSFT Word and Excel. Same for Open Folder Location. Not a big deal but just wondering. Thank you very much!
Is there any safe YouTube to MP3 converter recommended in 2025?
Hi, guys, I recently wanted to find a YouTube to MP3 converter, mainly to download some copyright-free background music, which is convenient for offline listening on computers and mobile phones. However, many online free YouTube to MP3 converter websites are full of advertisements, and some tools prompt that there are risks after downloading, so I am not very confident to use them. So I would like to ask everyone, is there any best and safe YouTube to MP3 converter recommended in 2025? I am more concerned about the following points: Safety: There will not be a lot of ads or viruses, and it is best to have an ad-free tool. Sound quality: Support 320kbps high-quality download, and do not want the sound quality to be lost too much after conversion. Ease of use: Both the web version and the software can be considered, but it is best to be free or paid once, and do not want a subscription system. Support batch download: It would be better if you can convert the audio of multiple videos at once. I have used some online conversion websites before, but I found that they are either full of ads, or have speed limits when downloading, and some of them can no longer be opened. If you are using a conversion tool, I hope you can share your experience, thank you!How do I just block/prevent the Secure Boot update, without going into the BIOS?
Event viewer is populated with many Error messages, that "The Secure Boot update failed to update a Secure Boot variable with error Secure Boot is not enabled on this machine." Searching how to prevent/block this update only shows results such as for disabling or enabling Secure Boot in the BIOS (or, sometimes on answers.microsoft.com, its typical recourse to doing a repair or clean install). However, I cannot find anyway on how to block/prevent this update. Of course, I find MS still trying to install updates even though they have been paused for 35 days.
