Color me impressed AND pleased. The new Lenovo Slim 7X Gen 11 -- with Snapdragon X2 -- comes roaring out of the box, and into the fleet! Unboxing and setup deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/superb-yo…

Gadzooks! I just ran DiskMgmt on the Asus A14 Zenbook laptop, and found 16 (!*!) partitions on Drive 0. How the heck did THAT happen? #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

Story link has changed. Here's a working instance: pcworld.com/article/259510…

FWIW, I agree with Michael Crider at PCWorld: laptop makers really should provide USB-C ports on both sides of their decks (or screens). 'Nuff said. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz pcworld.com/article/291916…

Aaaaaand... on the ThinkStation P3 Ultra PS upgrade "abandoned" but shows up in new session as handled. Sheesh! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

10 updates just popped into X380 via #WinGet. I bet they'll go through much faster than the 26220.8491 Beta update download underway there as well. Let's see... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

For the first time AFAIK, #WinGet updates PowerShell inside PowerShell successfully. Love it!!! #WindowsInsider #MVPbuzz

Whoa! Time screams by while you're having fun. This can' t possibly be true, can it? #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

In following Secure Boot topics, you can't escape the "Chain of Trust." Let me tell what it's about, why it's important, and how it works. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/explainer…

Just got word from the Lenovo Reviews team that they're sending me a Snapdragon X2 Yoga Slim 7X Gen 11 to play with. Really, really liked the X1: can't wait for the X2!!! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptop…

Reading about new Surface Pro business models is a great and shocking way to get a handle on price impacts from RAM and SSD. Ouch! #WindowsInsiders #MVPBuzz windowscentral.com/hardware/surfa…

Found a gem in Monday's AskWoody newsletter, where Susan Bradley mentions a great Secure Boot check tool in passing. Deets follow.... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/another-t…

Interesting. If you visit amd.com to grab May 18 chipset drivers, the download doesn't work. But you can get it from Guru3D or TechPowerUp, no problem. Go figure! #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz

@TarasBuria I'd be interested in reading your review. Keep up the good work! Glad somebody's paying attention. Chuwi, of course, has a checkered past (AMD stuff). I hope they'll offer something no-frills and straightforward. =e=

@EdTittel I hope to get this for a review. Curious as well.

Reading about a US$449 "Wildcat Lake" budget laptop from Chuwi, I find myself wondering "What does this actually buy you?" I hope we'll be finding out... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz tweaktown.com/news/111668/ch…

@ncbrady @miketerrill It's worth a once-over anyway. Learned more about SB and its certs and databases there than anywhere else. HTH, -e-

@EdTittel thanks mine is sorted now with the powershell from @miketerrill but i'll take a look anyway :-)

Q: What are you guys doing with older hardware that runs Windows 11 today but is outside of scope of getting a bios update new enough for the Secure Boot certificate problem ? An example, my Lenovo T570 laptop, it works just fine but... the bios date is 3/28/2024 (early 2017).

Some outlets see the MS promise to allow remapping the Copilot key as an admission of error. Do you? Let me explain... #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/ms-readie…

Just updated 3 drivers using Intel DSA: took an avg of 8 clicks per item!!! I beg the DSA developers to add a "silent mode" to its operation. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/intel-dsa…

Get the right tool for the job, and it's easy to see that MCT now delivers CA-2023 compliant bootloader. Try a different tool, though, and you might be misled. Deets follow... #WindowsInsiders #MCPbuzz edtittel.com/blog/mct-now-d…
