Where the hell are all the world's leaders, standing up & loudly condemning this butcher? He appears to be now determnined to destroy both Gaza & all of its people.

Good morning, folks.

1.  If my current Windows is MBR and needs to turn ON Secure Boot which will be changed to UEFI (GPT); by doing so, can I still load Windows?

2.  Bootable USB must be using MBR?

Well done, this govt.. & there's something I never thought I'd say!

Surely, this is what any civilised country would & should do - so why keep it quiet?

Not before time but hopefully the changes are well thought through and mindful of their effects on emissions.

I updated my other PC to Win11 24H2, it failed my 1st attempt because I downloaded the different language version (English International) as such it cannot keep all my apps and data, only my data.  Cancelled the update, re-downloaded the English US  and it then went through smoothly.

I will try to update my other PC which I am a bit nervous because this PC couldn't restart automatically, I have to push the button to shut it down and then push the button again to turn it back ON.   Not too sure this will affect the updating process?  I have try very hard to correct that issue but no....

This PC was installed using English US but I later added English New Zealand to it.  Do you think that I should download the English NZ to install the update?  Or the English US should be OK?

Anyone here to enlighten me on the above?

Cheers.
