Hi, my OneDrive is set so that it saves everything on my phone, tablet, and laptop. I have a lot of junk on my laptop, and only want to keep a couple folders. I'm gonna move those folders to a new laptop, then wipe the OneDrive (assuming I can). If I did that, would it delete every thing on my phone, tablet, and laptop? The screenshot attached is what I get when I try to individually delete a photo, and I don't want it to go away from the original file location. Basically, I want to start with a fresh empty OneDrive, and resync my phone, tablet, and new laptop. But I really do not want to loseView the full article

A unusual account called WSI Account popped up on my login screen. I have not made any changes to my computer other than the usual update.

Hello,I recently updated the BIOS on my MSI Mag B550 Mortar motherboard to the latest stable version (7C94v1K). After booting into windows, I was prompted with "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to setup your PIN again." Clicking that button did nothing, and my Microsoft password did not work anymore. After installing Win11 I did switch it to a local account, and never setup a password for this device. I was able to login to the password field, using my pin thankfully, however I have remaining errors I need to fix.I cannot setup my pin again to login, as I get the folView the full article

Hello, the serial number for my laptop and for my bitlocker device are the same but the key id is different than the one being asked so the key won’t work. Is there a way to speak to someone on a call about the issue?

I can’t access my laptop after the latest update and the bitlocker key for this laptop does not work.View the full article

Recently, the built in camera on my HP Envy x360 14 inch 2-in-1 Laptop PC 14-es1000 stopped recognizing my built in camera.

I've been thinking about upgrading my vram in my laptop and i found out that it is not possible to do so by the same way we do with physical rams. Then i found out about this increasing dedicated vram from BIOS or registry editor. I watched few videos about this and turns out it is really easy to do so, but I do know that it is not wise to mess around the BIOS as this will ruin the whole computer (Happened to me once, but that's a different story, lol). Therefore i need some opinions about this. Is it really okay to change the dedicated VRAM? What are the risks? will it affect my laptop's perfView the full article

Windows keeps forcing a driver update for my Ncvidia RTX3060 GPU that will then cause my system to crash with a BSOD ('CRITICAL_PROCESS_FAILED) with no mini dump file created when it would happen. It took me like a month to figure out the root cause which i am 100% sure is a windows Nvidia driver labeled as 32.0.15.6094 (see below).This driver (shown above) is not even the most current driver for the RTX3060 GPU, which is currently 572.16 per the Nvidia web site.Why does Windows 11 (24H2) keep downloading and overriding the correct driver that i already have installed and how can this be stopView the full article
