I no longer need this forum. I have Windows 11 on both machines of mine.

That is something in which I know nothing about, sorry.

I simply did as I asked. I restarted and they came back.

Thanks for the clarification on this matter.

I just updated both of my machines today. Does that include the security update from Aug 13th? If so, I am going to enable IPv6 after I disabled it a little while ago.

I use both wired and wireless connections. Does this mean that I have to disable it for each machine. Or can I disable it from my desktop pc? Furthermore, is it the same option for both wireless and wired connection? I didn’t quite fully understand how to disable it for my wireless connection. Lastly, did it matter that I did the update first before proceeding to disabling the IPv6?

I have been getting this message over the past couple of days after signing into my MS account. I have been ignoring it. Should I continue to ignore it?

I think a NAS is not in the cards for me. I can’t leave my laptop powered on 24/7 because I don’t have a dedicated space for it to remain powered up. The idea of a NAS is nice, but not ideal. I’ll continue with what I have currently. I might get a large external HD and store everything on that. Backups included.

Paul, I do 3 methods of backups mainly due to Ben Meyers newsletter article saying that if you have only one backup and it fails, then what good is it. He recommended to have more than one method.

Does having a NAS mean that I have to leave both the desktop and laptop running all the time? On the other note, I do not intend to take out of my home my laptop. It stays indoors always.

I simply would like to share all of my files and folders on my desktop with my laptop and vice versa. I would like to be able to save a file that I receive on either my desktop or laptop in one convenient location. Plus to perform backups with for each device.

I suppose I could share storage between my desktop and laptop. However they have a different layout in regards to how the folders are set up. Or does that matter? I do not have my desktop on at the same time my laptop is on. Or have I misinterpreted what you mean by sharing my desktop disc from my laptop? Do I share an external disk between them? I use three backup methods. 1) Paragon Backup & Restore. 2) Ease Todo US and direct files to an external Hard drive.

I am considering on adding a NAS. I have a laptop and Desktop Windows 11 Pro machines. I am looking for mainly storage options. If I could get some pointers for a Home Network. I’d like to know what to do and not to do. I am an average computer user and I don’t need a large amount of storage. What do you all recommend on getting that doesn’t break the bank so to speak?

On my machine. Encryption was never enabled. So, I have no key to save.

I’ll proceed with caution. But in regards to RetiredGeek’s comment to uninstall BitLocker. I have found no such process. BitLocker is either enabled or it isn’t. If I am correct. If after I sign in and BitLocker is enabled. Would I be advised to get the key before disabling it???

Please correct me if I am wrong. I have yet to sign into my MS account with my new PC. I already have a laptop where I disabled BitLocker a while back and Have been unable to pull up any BitLocker Key associated with my laptop. Now if I were to sign into my MS account on this PC. Should I need to get the recovery key if I am going to disable BitLocker anyway? With this latest post, I am under the assumption that the BitLocker Recovery Key isn’t that important if you disable it.
