  1. External SSD takes too long 20s+ to show up, after upgrading from Win 10 to Win 11


    Hi.I've noticed that issue with two systems already : my laptop and surface pro tablet.Directly after upgrading from Windows 10 to 11, my external SSD Samsung T5 500 GB takes too long to show up about 20 seconds or more. Sometime it takes really a long time and returns “The semaphore timeout period has expired.”The external SSD was showing up instantly using Windows 10.Thanks.

    :)

    downgrade win 11 to win 10

    I just reran the Media Creation Tool that I just downloaded a few minutes ago. It took less than three minutes to create the ISO file on my medium powered computer with NVMe SSD and 500 Mbps internet connection. Maybe try restarting your computer and downloading a fresh Media Creation Tool? Make sure to note where the ISO file is stored at the last step:

    is hardware OK (Win 7) for upgrade to windows 10

    I think in one of the other PC with win 7 or win 8.1 I run media creators tools and in some step prompt/found graphics card not supported... for win 10. I didn't found alone reading specs of win 10, but the tool says me... after changed graphics card the tool said all OK and continued OK with upgrade... That I ask to reach this step in this current PC - win 7 - must be all OK for the upgrade? Or must continue to upgrade to show this?
    and got to point

    • UPGRADE this PC now
    • Create media(DVD, USB stick, ISO)
    is hardware OK (Win 7) for an upgrade to windows 10 for this PC???
