Now I’m trying to back up my laptop top and for some reason it won’t. It stops at destination. Any ideas?

it worked just fine with the desktop

cheers, Bill

Shadowmaker by mini tool  I’ll create to folders named desktop and laptop and backup into those folders.

cheers Bill

Backup to D drive and a SK Beetle X31 1 TB SSD external drive arrives today.

want to backup both the desktop and my laptop to the the external drive. I assume I need to create two partitions on the external drive to separate the backups?

Finally got it done, really appreciate the help!

thanks, Bill

It doesn’t give me that option unfortunately.  Any of your recommendationed backup apps that would allow me to move sub folders?

So I used shadowmaker to backup c to d drive which worked. So I’d like to move music and pictures to D drive but file won’t let me do that. I’d have to move the entire desktop to D which I don’t want to do. Is there a way to get around that and move individual files to D?  When I’m on my desktop, am I looking at what’s on both C and D drives?  For example, if I move iTunes saved music to D drive , will the iTunes app on C  still be able to access the music on D?

On C drive, the system partition has a lot of space not being used. Should I shrink that partition and an add it to windows?  Also what’s on the other partitions and how do i see what’s in it.

Well this has been a frustrating day. Moved 10 GB to either a flash drive or D drive but win 11 still won’t let me backup C drive. Tried file explorer but clicking on backup doesn’t do anything so tried win 7 backup and that doesn’t work either. Thinking of taking it out back and putting a45 caliber round thru it unless someone has a better idea

I’m looking paths under disk volume which allows access to D drive and I looked up the definition of NTFS which seems like a way to direct files to to D. However im not sure how to use it and if I’m not sure of the outcome I’m hesitant to do so. So any thoughts suggestions or enlightenment on how to use it or if I should?

Thanks for the help. Been off line the last couple days due to a big snowstorm with 2 1/2 feet of snow. I’ll try your advice tomorrow and let you know how it goes .

Windows doesn’t see disk 0 at all as well.

Here’s the is disk management shot. Pissed the computer wasn’t setup correctly at the factory.   Thanks all for the help. Bill

I did check but it had the latest drivers.  Thanks Bill

Tried to upgrade my HP eliteBook 8440p from win 7 to 10  but it didn’t complete due to the wireless card. I never use the wireless with this computer.  Any way to get around this? Would pulling the wireless card work?  Thanks, Bill

Finally installed more memory so need to update my desk top. It’s currently at version 1803 and windows update is only offering 1809.  Can I go straight to version 1903 or 1909 or do these updates build on one another?

 

thanks, Bill

How do I block or delete KB4023057, which blew past my metered connection and downloaded itself on to my computer and is awaiting a restart.  I have windows 10 pro with branch readiness set at semi-annual channel.  Hopefully I don’t have to let it install to delete it if MS will even let me do it since MS seems [determined] on sticking it on my computer whether I want it or not.  It never show up on as awaiting download or in wushowhide.
