    During Windows install program, how do I keep it separate and not restore from my other PCs backup? So far, there does not seem to be anyway to do this during the MS install process. Do I have to have separate MS Accounts? During Windows install program, how do I keep it separate and not restore from my other PCs backup? So far, there does not seem to be anyway to do this during the MS install process. Do I have to have separate MS Accounts?These PCs will not have the same applications and will be used independently of each other. The old one is Windows 10, the new one Windows 11.

    Returning Windows to Second Screen

    Hello Kate,

    Let's try to isolate the issue and see what is preventing you from using Windows to second screen. Kindly provide us the following information:

    • When you turned on your computer, does it give you an extended display for both monitor screen and your laptop?
    • Is your monitor screen already connected to your laptop before turning it on?
    • What cable are you using to connect your second monitor to your laptop?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

    Installing a second nvm.2 drive

    Hi I'm getting a new second drive and would appreciate step by step instructions. I never done this before so I will provide a picture of my laptop . this drive is a 1tb. It's double the size of what I have and apparently faster. I would like to use the new drive as C drive and the second drive as a documents drive. All comments or instruction will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
